Blanq

Blanq is a free and open-source starter kit designed for building Nuxt applications, offering a comprehensive set of features to streamline web app development. It is intended for developers who want to avoid repetitive setup tasks such as authentication, email handling, payment integration, and database configuration. By cloning the Blanq repository, users can quickly begin building their applications without the need to implement these core systems from scratch.

The kit provides a full authentication flow, including email verification, password reset, role management, two-factor authentication, and profile management, utilizing Better Auth. Payments are supported through built-in Stripe integration, allowing developers to accept payments by simply adding their Stripe keys, with the ability to link local product details to Stripe product IDs. Email functionality is enabled via Mailchannel, supporting use cases like email verification, password resets, and welcome emails, with a Docker container available for catching emails during development. For data storage, Blanq uses Drizzle and NuxtHub D1, enabling immediate use of a database without additional setup. Queue functionality, using CloudFlare KV and Cron for producers and consumers, is noted as coming soon. The kit also includes all UI components from shadcn Vue and allows customization through CSS variables and TailwindCSS.

Blanq is offered at no cost, with unlimited clones and app creations permitted. While usage is free, users can choose to support the project through one-time or monthly sponsorships, which also serve to demonstrate the integrated payment flows. The source code is openly available, encouraging contributions and transparency. Blanq is delivered as a repository that developers can clone and use to accelerate the development of Nuxt-based web applications.
