Mckay’s App Template is a full-stack starter template maintained by Mckay Wrigley, intended to help developers quickly bootstrap modern web applications without spending time on boilerplate setup. The template includes a frontend built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and often UI components/frameworks like Shadcn + Framer Motion; a backend stack using PostgreSQL, Supabase, and Drizzle ORM for database operations; authentication via Clerk; and optional payment integration using Stripe. By providing a ready-to-go configuration (with example folder structure, database setup, auth, payment hooks, and environment templates), it lets developers skip the tedious initial setup and get straight to building product features. The template is ideal for startups, prototypes, or side-projects where you want a robust, production-grade starting point — with user accounts, auth, DB, and payments already wired up.
