#What is Relivator?

Relivator is a modern, production-ready e-commerce starter template designed to help developers quickly launch full-stack web applications with authentication, payments, and scalable UI components. Leveraging Next.js 15's App Router and React 19, it provides a robust foundation for building SaaS products, online shops, or subscription-based services without reinventing core backend logic. Ideal for indie developers, startups, or teams prototyping e-commerce flows, Relivator emphasizes clean, type-safe code with TypeScript, accessible UI via shadcn/ui, and seamless integrations like Better-Auth for secure user management and Polar for streamlined billing. Deployed on Vercel for edge performance, it's optimized for developer experience with tools like ESLint, Biome, and Knip, making it a go-to for AI-assisted coding in environments like Cursor IDE.

#Features ⚡️

• Full-Stack E-Commerce: End-to-end support for product listings, carts, checkouts, and subscription management.

• Authentication & Security: Better-Auth handles user accounts, sessions, and permissions with minimal setup.

• Payment Integration: Polar for checkout flows, customer portals, webhooks, and automatic subscription handling.

• UI & Animations: shadcn/ui components with Tailwind CSS for responsive, dark-mode designs; Anime.js for subtle effects.

• Database & ORM: Drizzle ORM with Neon PostgreSQL for efficient queries and schema migrations.

• Developer Tools: TanStack Table for data grids, Uploadthing for file storage, Vercel Analytics for insights.

• AI & DX Enhancements: Optimized for Cursor IDE; commands like bun ui for shadcn adds and bun db:studio for DB exploration.

#Pros ✅

• Rapid Setup: Clone, install, and run in minutes—ideal for MVPs or proof-of-concepts.

• Modern Stack: Next.js 15 + React 19 ensures future-proof performance and type safety.

• Integrated Payments: Polar simplifies billing without Stripe lock-in; extensible to others.

• Free & Extensible: MIT license with clean code for easy customization or forking.

• AI-Ready: Version 1.4.0+ supports seamless integration with AI coding tools.

#Cons ⚠️

• WIP Features: Some elements like TanStack Form, i18n, and Resend email are in progress.

• Bun Dependency: Relies on Bun for installs/runs—may need Node.js alternatives for some setups.

• E-Commerce Focus: Strong for shops but may require tweaks for non-commerce SaaS.

• No Built-in Testing: Lacks pre-configured tests; add your own suite.

• Community Size: Early project with no explicit star/fork counts listed, though actively maintained.
