Project Overview

Nextemplate was my exploration project diving deep into Next.js, tRPC, and modern React patterns. I built a comprehensive marketplace where developers can discover and browse curated Next.js templates across various categories, from SaaS platforms to ecommerce solutions. The project was primarily a learning endeavor to master tRPC for type safe APIs, explore the Next.js App Router, and understand marketplace dynamics. It features advanced filtering, template categorization by functionality and tech stack, and a clean, performant UI. This project solidified my expertise in the Next.js ecosystem and taught me valuable lessons about building discovery platforms.
