## What it is
A starter/boilerplate project for Next.js (React) with built-in authentication using Express and Passport.js, including OAuth and email login, session management, and Bootstrap/SASS styling. It is now archived and unmaintained, as Next.js has natively absorbed most of its features.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a Next.js app with authentication
- add OAuth login to a React app
- learn how to set up Passport.js with Next.js
- starter template with SASS and Bootstrap for Next.js
- example of session handling with secure cookies and CSRF tokens
- reference for building a universal React app with server-side rendering

## When to choose
- studying how older Next.js apps integrated Express, Passport, and custom servers
- needing a historical reference for pre-native Next.js patterns

## When to avoid
- starting any new Next.js project today
- wanting maintained authentication - use NextAuth.js instead
- needing current Next.js features like API routes or built-in CSS/SASS support
