I got tired of bloated Laravel boilerplates, especially after Laravel 12 launch, so I'm building a lean one.

After trying a few starter kits and boilerplates, I kept running into the same problem:

Too many dependencies, too much "magic", too many things I didn't ask for.

So over the past months I built my own Laravel + Inertia + Vue + Tailwind boilerplate with a very simple goal: keep it as lean and predictable as possible.

Some choices I made:

* no AI integrations (on purpose, I haven't it even in my IDE)
* no heavy starter kits, no over-engineered auth
* clean separation between roles
* minimal dependencies, easier to maintain on long term
* simple, consistent Vue components (no UI chaos)

One thing I focused a lot on is scaffolding.

I built a CLI command that generates:

* models
* controllers
* migrations
* requests
* policies
* seeders
* Vue pages (index/create/edit/show)

All from a single config array.

Nothing "smart", just fast and predictable.

My philosophy is simple: *what isn't there can't break, slow you down, or require maintenance.*

I’m not trying to build an all-in-one SaaS kit. This is meant to be a solid, clean base for people who prefer control over automation.

I just put it online with a open waitlist.

Curious to hear: what’s the thing you hate the most in existing Laravel boilerplates?
