Scaffolding starter templates with Remix

[ShafSpecs]

By scaffolding starter templates, I mean remix would have some preset templates, plain but functional that would allow users to either kickstart a project or allow users to test something.

I feel this is something Remix needs as not everyone can, and want to start from a blank template. For exmple, I want to play around with loaders, I have to create an app with routes and fill it with as much stuff I need to make the site look more like smthg that would use a loader. Sometimes, I want to create an e-commerce and style with tailwind, would be awesome to just get started by scaffolding a plain ecommerce layout that's already connected to stripe and maybe even uses strapi to handle the e-commerce side of things. What I am saying in short is that the ability to build more on what we have at insallation time is very needed.

So, the way I think this can work is by having additional flags to support the npx create-remix@latest command. We would have starter templates that have been bootstrapped based on the user choice (e.g Tailwind, Supabase, Strapi, Socket.io, etc.)

Maintaining all of this in Remix core would lead to lots of overhead I assume.

Instead, have a look at the examples folder of the repo
https://github.com/remix-run/remix/tree/main/examples

Or this website for more complete examples

Both will only keep on growing in both quantity and quality. This might be what you are looking for
