How can we contribute ?

[MrGlox]

Hi ! I really love the approach and your work on this project.

What are the next steps ? What do you want to do ? More like a SaaS / CMS approach or any other solution ?

I'm interested to add a translation solution to this project, some dummy design or style for the marketing part or an emailing solution with react-email for exemple.

I hope I'm not disturbing you too much, but I'd be delighted to lend a hand !

Best regards,
Mr G-lox

Hi Mr G-lox!

Thank you for the kind words and for reaching out. You are definitely not disturbing me. It is great to see someone interested in the project and willing to help.

The main idea of this starter kit is to help my students with their graduation projects in computer science. I want them to avoid spending time on basic setup such as authentication, layout, roles and all the infrastructure around the application. This way they can focus on the business logic or the intelligence of what they want to build. Because of that, my goal is to keep this as a solid and opinionated starter kit that people can easily extend in any direction they want.

Many parts of the project I learned by doing (React and Inertia). There are several areas I would like to refine, such as the user editing flow and a cleaner integration of i18n between backend and frontend. I know both can be improved.

Your ideas make perfect sense. A marketing area with a simple structure and optional integration with payments would be extremely valuable, especially for people who want to launch a small product or service quickly. I would definitely like to include a base version of this.

The translation improvements you mentioned are also welcome. A more organised structure for i18n would help a lot and I am open to suggestions on how to make it cleaner and easier to maintain.

Regarding react email, I tried it in the past but faced some issues. Even so, I still think it is a great option for transactional emails and I would be happy to explore a proper integration for welcome emails, password resets and similar flows.

To be honest, I am a bit unsure about the next steps for the starter kit, because most of my current work is focused on research projects and building AI driven solutions with very specific use cases. That is why I really appreciate suggestions and new ideas that can help define a clearer direction for the project.

I am completely open to collaboration. If you want, I can open issues so we can organise ideas such as improving i18n, building a marketing and payments module or exploring react email integration.

Thank you again for the message and for offering to contribute. I really appreciate it.

Thank you again,
Filipe
