Simple Laravel Starter Kit for Beginners – No Spatie, No JWT, Lightweight Alternative to Breeze & Jetstream

Laravel Starter Kit by Professor is a clean, minimal, and beginner-friendly boilerplate for new Laravel projects. Designed specifically for developers who want to start quickly without the complexity of heavy packages.

If you're tired of Breeze or Jetstream adding features you don't need (Livewire, Inertia, Teams, Spatie Permissions, JWT, etc.), this starter kit gives you exactly what a typical Laravel application needs — and nothing more.

Perfect for:

• Learning Laravel from scratch
• Building small to medium-sized web applications
• Rapid prototyping
• Teaching or tutorial projects

Why Choose This Over Laravel Breeze or Jetstream?

This kit focuses on clean, readable code using pure Blade, Laravel's default session authentication, and zero extra bloat.

Features

• Complete authentication scaffolding (Register, Login, Logout, Password Reset, Email Verification)
• Clean and minimal Blade templates
• Basic protected dashboard
• Profile update functionality
• Ready-to-use middleware and routes
• No external heavy dependencies (No Spatie, No JWT, No Livewire, No Inertia)
• Easy to customize and extend

• Composer
