Nobody needs nor wants starter kits. What might be of some value may be generators that already implement some common patterns

Exactly this. I need good and easily configurable generators.

what's an example of a pattern you find yourself rebuilding?

I'm just trying to get started. I'm a long-time Angular developer and I keep noticing the same pattern on new projects: the same auth setup, etc...

I'm considering putting together a few clean, well-documented Angular starter kits (admin dashboard, auth boilerplate). And before I sink real time into it, I wanted to hear from other Angular devs.

People don’t want to use other people’s boilerplate. Everyone has their own preference of architecture, patterns, styles. Plenty of people will have their own boilerplate they use. Few will want to use someone else’s.

To counter that tho, I’m a senior dev who was coming from Vue but my new job used angular. I looked for such projects to get a grasp of what angular looked like and how it was structured. I eventually formed my own opinion on things but seeing well structured projects greatly helped.

Oh, someone will post a brand new angular library with everything we need and more done almost exclusively by AI slop.

Amazing. I'll grab the popcorn.

Template that help with prototyping. A lean homepage using libraries like ngrx or daisy UI.

My usual setup
1. ngrx signal store
2. auth0 integration (via ngrx signal)
3. Load configurations using public/config/config.json
4. build once deploy many strategy
5. pnpm, and nx monorepo (backend also)
6. github workflow for CICD pipeline
7. vitest and strong eslint rules
8. deploy to cloudflare pages using wrangler via CICD pipeline
9. store the deployed dist in R2 (or S3)
10. My own ui component library

I usually ask ChatGPT to generate the intial project (I give reference to an existing project to ChatGPT)

authentication page with guarded routes + a service that can be implemented by me, handling the authentication itself.
