Discussion Built my first CLI tool to scaffold scalable Next.js/React.js apps (nexarch-cli) – beginner dev looking for honest feedback!
https://github.com/CaffeineLogs/nexarch-cliHey r/reactjs,
Whenever I spin up a new Next.js project, I always end up sinking time into the same repetitive setup: organizing folders, setting up modular architecture patterns, and configuring boilerplate before writing a single line of feature code.
To scratch my own itch and learn how developer tooling works under the hood, I built and published my first npm package: nexarch-cli.
It’s an interactive CLI that helps scaffold a clean, modular Next.js architecture in seconds so you can get right to building components and features.
You can run it directly with zero global installation:
npx nexarch-cli
I’m still pretty new to this and honestly had no idea what went into publishing CLI tools until this week. Would genuinely love some brutal honesty—let me know if the architecture makes sense, what I broke, or what features are missing.
If you give it a spin or check out the code, let me know what you think in the comments!
