Roadmap

A lot of ZeroStarter is already wired and working. The integrations further down (AI, background jobs, email, payments, i18n) are planned, not built. Read the two lists below literally.

Shipped today

Available out of the box in a fresh scaffold:

• Better Auth organizations: multi-tenant orgs and teams, member roles, and invitations, with the backing tables.
• A role ladder + gated /console: owner > admin > member > user on user.role, gating the route server-side; manage it from Console > Access, or with bun run console:roles, with every change recorded in Console > History > Activity.
• An allowlist for the console: grant the console's bottom rung to a whole domain or a single address, applied on sign-in, never lowering anyone. An optional feature, off in a fresh fork.
• An activity trail: every console write that changes who gets in, or destroys a row, records a readable line in the same transaction as the change.
• Data tables: one module of composable pieces on TanStack Table, server-driven with infinite scroll and virtualized rows; the console's tables are the pattern to copy.
• Realtime over WebSockets: the typed client reaches sockets too, on Bun and on Vercel, with a reconnecting, REST-backed example.
• Rate limiting: hono-rate-limiter with @arcjet/ip, per-user when authenticated and per-IP otherwise, tuned via HONO_RATE_LIMIT.
• Scalar API docs: an interactive reference at /api/docs, generated from the OpenAPI spec at /api/openapi.json.
• Dynamic OG images: on-the-fly Open Graph images with takumi-js, served from the /og routes.
• llms.txt + llms-full.txt: auto-generated AI context routes: the index and the full corpus.
• SEO routes: robots.ts and sitemap.ts generate robots.txt and the sitemap.
• PostHog analytics: product analytics, feature flags, and session replay. Optional; on only when NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_PROJECT_TOKEN and NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST are set.
• Vercel Speed Insights: real Core Web Vitals from your visitors. No key and no env var; the root layout renders it only when VERCEL is set, so it is absent on Docker and every other host.
• Waitlist: a /waitlist page backed by POST /api/waitlist, read back at Console > Waitlist > Signups where the addresses can be searched, copied or removed; an optional feature that becomes a fresh fork's home when enabled.
• Configurable features: turn the allowlist, API reference, blog, docs, internal docs, or waitlist on or off per fork, from init flags or an interactive picker, and flip any of them later in config.
• The zerostarter CLI: bunx zerostarter init scaffolds a rebranded fork, strips the sample content, installs dependencies, and provisions a local Postgres; sync re-baselines that fork on the latest starter and keeps what it owns. A fork inherits every skill and the starter's own AGENTS.md, rebranded.
