Most boilerplates are boring. They get you to "getting paid," then leave you with a blank screen and a messy database.

I got tired of building the same analytics UI for every project, so I’ve started abstracting my latest build into a plug-and-play engine for Next.js & Supabase.

Here is the logic:

• Analytics-First: It’s not just a landing page. It’s a high-end, responsive dashboard designed to make complex data look sexy out of the box.
• The AI Layer: I built a logic that feeds JSON snapshots of your historical data to an LLM. It finds patterns and leaks I completely missed while staring at the raw SQL.
• Config-Driven: Instead of coding charts for weeks, the goal is to just drop in a config file, map your Postgres tables, and let the UI handle the rest.

 

I’m thinking about releasing the core engine as a standalone boilerplate or a "self-hosted" BI tool for indie hackers once it's polished.

Is 'Analytics-first' the way to build in 2026, or is the market too crowded for another starter kit? Anyone interested in the tech stack or a deeper dive into the JSON-to-AI logic?
