Michael Hoffmann
Founder of Nuxt Starter Kit
Built from Frustration. Refined with Experience.
Hi, I’m Michael, the creator of Nuxt Starter Kit. I built this project out of a simple, persistent frustration: every time I started a new Nuxt project, I was spending hours — sometimes days — setting up the same tools, plugins, folder structures, and dev workflows over and over again.
As a developer, consultant, and product builder, I wanted a solid foundation that let me skip the boilerplate and jump straight into building something meaningful.
So I made one.
The Origin Story
This project started as my own personal boilerplate. Just a tidy setup with my favorite tools: Nuxt 3+, NuxtHub, Nuxt UI Pro, Polar, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, ESLint/Prettier, and a few opinions on architecture that made projects easier to scale and maintain.
Over time, I kept refining it. Each side project I built with this kit taught me something new. I’d tweak the kit, improve the folder structure, add helpful utilities, or remove something that added friction. Eventually, it became the thing I always reached for.
Then I realized: this isn’t just for me.
Why I Made It Public
I shared NuxtStarterKit because I know I’m not the only one who wants a faster, cleaner start to building with Nuxt. Whether you're:
- A solo founder spinning up an MVP
- A dev looking to cut setup time
- Or just someone tired of re-Googling the same config options...
...this kit is for you.
I don’t think of Nuxt Starter Kit as just a template, it’s a reflection of the way I build. It's opinionated, yes. But those opinions come from real-world use, not theory. And it continues to evolve with every project I touch.
