Template Details
This is a starter template for building a Next.js application. The project is positioned as a static site: the README states that the template uses a simple site structure that can be hosted as a static site, and suggests considering hosting providers such as Vercel if server-side rendering is needed.
The template extends the base project generated by create-next-app. The base includes a pages directory (with one JS file), a public directory (with an SVG logo and favicon), .gitignore, package.json, and a README. The template additionally adds a GitHub Actions CI workflow (.github/workflows/main.yml) and project documentation.
The repository provides a sample.png preview image, and the README offers a "Use this template" entry point so a new project can be generated directly from the repository. The documentation explains how to install, run, and deploy the project. The README also notes that if you want to add ESLint to the project, you can refer to Next.js's ESLint configuration guide.
Note: the repository does not list a complete dependency version manifest in the README, so specific framework versions are not noted here; the template itself does not include hosting, a domain, or backend services, which must be configured separately.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

No demo link is recorded. Use the repository instructions to evaluate the project locally; the screenshot alone cannot establish interactive behavior.
The catalog identifies Next.js as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.

## About
This is a static website built on Next.js, which is a framework built on React.
Next.js is "The React Framework for Production".
As with React, you can build more advanced web apps but in this case this template uses a simple site which can be hosted as static site. You can look into use _Vercel_ as a host if you want server-side rendering.
See [Next.js](https://michaelcurrin.github.io/dev-resources/resources/javascript/packages/next/) resources to learn more.
### Create a fresh project from scratch
From [Create a Next.js App](https://nextjs.org/learn/basics/create-nextjs-app) tutorial on the homepage using [vercel/next-learn](https://github.com/vercel/next-learn) repo.
```sh
$ npx create-next-app@latest \
nextjs-blog \
--use-npm \
--example "https://github.com/vercel/next-learn/tree/main/basics/learn-starter"
$ cd nextjs-blog
```
That will create:
- [pages](/pages/) directory with one JS file.
- [public](/public/) directory with an SVG logo and favicon.
- [.gitignore](/.gitignore) file.
- [package.json](/package.json) - it comes with Next 11 but I've set up Next 12 for my template here.
- `README.md` file - with just one line.
This template project extends the base project by adding:
- GH Actions CI flow - [main.yml](/.github/workflows/main.yml).
- Docs (see below).
For adding ESLint to your project, see [ESLint](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/configuring/eslint) configuration guide for Next.
