Clean Starts Only: Next.js + Vercel starter with Airbnb ESLint & Prettier

#nextjs #vercel #typescript #eslint

TL;DR: A tiny Next.js 14 + Tailwind starter with Airbnb ESLint + Prettier, a clean layout, and a 2-click Vercel deploy. Opinionated enough to avoid linter fights, small enough to read in one sitting.

Who this helps (from the trenches)

You just want a page up that won’t turn into a style war or Next.js warning safari.
This starter is for:

Solo builders who value clean defaults over 50 toggles.
Small biz/site work that must be maintainable by “future you.”
Learners who want a real starter, not a 900-dep kitchen sink.

Problems it avoids:

“Why is ESLint yelling at me?” → Airbnb + Prettier already set.
“Next/Image warning?” → no remote SVG hacks.
“Where do I change the brand?” → one file (lib/config.ts).

What you get

Modern Next.js 14 (App Router)
Airbnb ESLint + Prettier (TS-friendly)
Tailwind styling
lib/config.ts for name, color, links (1-file rebrand)
A small “IT trenches” panel to keep it fun

// lib/config.ts (snippet)
