Announcing Shipixen 🎉

Shipixen allows you to create customized boilerplates for your product, blog or any other website. We generate it & even deploy it - then you get the code.

I got this idea when I realized how much time I am spending on repetitive tasks whenever I create a project.

Difference compared to other boilerplates

Compared to other boilerplates, you can actually configure and deploy your landing page / blog / website without even touching the code.

It creates the relevant images, meta tags, pages, etc. for you so you can jump straight into action:

⚙️ pre-configures your code
✨ makes logo, favicon, og data, pages w/ your brand
▲ allows 1-click deploy

No manual work / CLI needed to deploy.

Overview of the generated boilerplate

Depending on the configuration you choose, Shipixen will generate a website with all the bells and whistles you need to get started with your blog & landing page.

The blog comes with:

• tags / filters
• authors
• pagination
• syntax highlighting (ssr)
• citations and much more!

By default, shipixen will generate:

• logo, og image, favicon based on the images you provide
• SEO setup with best practices
• themed UI lib (shadcn)
• blog, search
• sitemap
• rss
• dark mode support
• privacy & terms pages (starters)
• pricing page

Technology-wise, you get:

• A Next.js app
• App router
• Typescript
• Tailwindcss
• mdx with contentlayer

At the end of the configuration process, you will get the option to either deploy with a click to Vercel or download a zip.

Either way, you get the source code and can do whatever you wish with it.

There is no database or 3rd party tool needed to run the website. It's a static website.

Wrap-up

I'm super excited about this project and have already used it to create shipixen.com and a couple other projects.

It has saved me 10s if not 100s of hours and I can't wait to get this in the hands of more people.
