The Take

It drops a curated Blocks kit into an existing Next.js app (components, hero/navbar/feature sections, and page templates) via a manifest-driven CLI and an npx workflow. Useful details: separate packages for blocks/sections/templates, App and Pages router support, and a demo site + install video — but it’s alpha, may overwrite files on install, and doesn’t fundamentally change the crowded component-kit space.

Post Description

I built nextworks, a small CLI that installs core UI components, landing page sections like navbar/hero/features, and full page templates into an existing Next.js project. MIT licensed.

I got tired of rebuilding the same sections every time I started a new Next.js landing page. This is alpha and it copies files into your repo (it may overwrite on path collisions), so feedback on installs + generated code is what I need most.

commands:

npx create-next-app@latest

cd <your-app>

npx nextworks@latest add blocks --sections --templates

npm install

npm run dev
