We’re excited to announce the release of our Full-stack Community Template – an open-source starter template for Flatlogic Generator built with Next.js + Node.js, allowing you to quickly build full-stack applications with modern architecture. Opposed to the current Standard template, downloading the derivative source code is free. 

What makes this template different from a typical boilerplate is that it’s not static. It’s meant to grow and improve over time, with help from the community. Users who use it can add new features, fix issues, and suggest changes based on real needs. If you want to start a project without paying for a license and still have full control over the code, this template gives you a solid base that will keep getting better with community support.

🤝 Open GitHub Repository and Community Contributions

To support this initiative, we’re making the full source code of the Community Template freely available for download and opening the GitHub repository to the public. Anyone can contribute updates, submit feature improvements, or raise issues.

This is a key step in our long-term strategy to grow Flatlogic through community collaboration. Rather than being a fixed boilerplate, the template evolves as developers build on it, together improving its functionality, structure, and real-world usefulness.

The Community Template has some limitations, and the following features are not available: working with files and images, many-to-many relationships, multitenancy, and role-based access control.

Continuing Flatlogic’s Starting Web App in 2025 Research

We’re continuing to collect answers for our 4th annual research on how developers and organizations kickstart their web applications!

Building on the insights from last year’s 2024 research, this year we’re diving even deeper, with a special focus on the rise of “vibe coding” and AI-powered web generators. The updated questionnaire eliminates outdated topics and introduces fresh, AI-driven questions.

Why it’s worth 3 minutes of your time:

  • It’s completely anonymous
  • You’ll get 10 credits for Flatlogic Generator
  • The final report will be open and shared with the community
