Why "Best" isn't a Superlative—It's a Measurement
"Best" is a dangerous word in marketing. In the world of boilerplates, "Best" usually just means "Most Famous."
But if you measure "Best" by **how much work is left to do after you buy it**, the comparison shifts:
- **ShipFast:** Great for a weekend landing page. Zero operational tools.
- **MakerKit:** Solid admin basics. Limited ecommerce and support depth.
- **Supastarter:** Strong auth/payments. You're still building the business logic from scratch.
- **MantleKit:** Landing page + Auth + Payments + Admin + Support + PM Tools + CMS + AI Evals. + 13 Themes + 20 Drop-ins
@SonofNun@vkrajacic Hmmm, I don't buy that. In great hall of WinUI fame you have Apple software(in windows), Adobe(notoriously bad) in NextJS we have All Ai (chat gpt,grok, claude etc), NetFlix, Twitch, Hulu, Spotify, Nike, Target, GitHub, Notion, Supabase, Vercel, TikTok, Uber, DoorDash.

@orion_vail@cyrilXBT Absolutely, but then you need to question how “amazing” it will be if it took 6 months of failure to finally get results. Like, it took me 2 weeks, and I’d suspect most would be 2-4weeks. 6 months is a bit extreme.
@AlexFinn Great video mate. I agree with just about all of that. I can't talk to ChatGPT on web / App. But Codex in VSCode never had verbose issues. AGENTS.md - every project "Small concise answers only get to the point." Was even better than Claude. Since 5.3 I did that and had no issues.
