What stands out
A quick read of the recorded project description.
Uses Next.js and TypeScript as the project foundation
The README states that Tailwind CSS and Shadcn are usually included
Optional additions such as tRPC, Prisma, Drizzle, and NextAuth.js can be included as needed
Provides non-interactive experimental flags for CI
Supports configuration such as specifying the directory, database provider, and App Router
Template Details
The README positions create-own-app as an application scaffolder: it is launched via `npm create own-app@latest`, `pnpm create own-app@latest`, `yarn create own-app@latest`, or `bun create own-app@latest` to generate a new project. The project foundation consists of Next.js and TypeScript; the README states that Tailwind CSS and Shadcn are usually included for rapid responsive design; the backend part lists tRPC, Prisma, and NextAuth.js as "worth considering adding."
The README also provides a set of experimental flags for CI that complete scaffolding initialization without interactive prompts, including specifying the directory, using default options, adding tRPC, Prisma, Drizzle, NextAuth.js, Tailwind CSS, configuring the database provider, using the App Router, and skipping Git initialization and dependency installation. The README explicitly states that these flags are experimental, may change in future versions, and do not follow semantic versioning.
The README does not provide the generated project structure, the specific behavior of each option combination, dependency versions, deployment steps, or production-readiness statements, so these aspects cannot be confirmed from the available information.
Is it right for your project?
Use Cases
- When you need to quickly generate a Next.js + TypeScript project skeleton
- When you want to choose at the scaffolding stage whether to include tRPC, Prisma, Drizzle, or NextAuth.js
- When automatically creating a project non-interactively in a CI environment
- When you need to specify the project directory, database provider, or use the App Router
Suitable For
- Frontend or full-stack project developers using Next.js and TypeScript
- Developers who need a configurable scaffolder rather than a fixed template
- Teams that want to automate project initialization in CI
Getting started & customization
Use these recorded setup notes alongside the repository instructions for your chosen version.
- 1
Create a project using npm create own-app@latest, pnpm create own-app@latest, yarn create own-app@latest, or bun create own-app@latest.
- 2
The CI flags are experimental; the README states they may change in future versions and do not follow semantic versioning.
- 3
You can use --default to skip prompts and adopt default options, or select technology options via flags such as --trpc, --prisma, --drizzle, --nextAuth, and --tailwind.
- 4
You can use --dbProvider to configure the database provider and --appRouter to select the Next.js App Router.
- 5
You can use --noGit to skip Git initialization and --noInstall to skip dependency installation.

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.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
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.

## Installation
To get started with the project, run the following command to scaffold a new app:
```bash
npm create own-app@latest
```
```bash
pnpm create own-app@latest
```
```bash
yarn create own-app@latest
```
```bash
bun create own-app@latest
```
## Introduction
The foundation of the stack consists of [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) for building optimized applications and [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org) for enhanced development with type safety. [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com)/[Shadcn](https://ui.shadcn.dev) is typically included for rapid, responsive design.
For backend development, consider adding:
- [tRPC](https://trpc.io) for seamless TypeScript integration.
- [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io) for efficient database interaction.
- [NextAuth.js](https://next-auth.js.org) for flexible authentication solutions.

## CI Flags
For our CI (Continuous Integration) setup, we offer experimental flags that allow you to scaffold an app without any interactive prompts. These flags are useful for automating the setup process.
**Note:** These flags are experimental and may change in future versions without following semantic versioning.
| **Flag** | **Description** |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `[dir]` | Specify the project directory name. |
| `-y, --default` | Bypass prompts and scaffold with all [default options](#default-options). |
| `--trpc` | Add tRPC for type-safe API communication. |
| `--prisma` | Include Prisma ORM for type-safe database access. |
| `--drizzle` | Include Drizzle ORM for modern database management. |
| `--nextAuth` | Add NextAuth.js for flexible authentication solutions. |
| `--tailwind` | Include Tailwind CSS for utility-first styling. |
| `--dbProvider [provider]` | Configure a database provider for the project. |
| `--appRouter` | Use Next.js App Router for routing. |
| `--noGit` | Skip initializing a Git repository for the project. |
| `--noInstall` | Generate the project without installing dependencies. |
