Taxonomy is an open source full-stack application demonstrating Next.js 13 features including the app router and server components.
The project was built as an experiment to explore how modern application patterns would work with Next.js 13's new capabilities. It demonstrates server components, the app directory structure with nested layouts and layout groups, data fetching with caching, loading UI, route handlers, and metadata files. The application includes authentication via NextAuth.js, a Prisma ORM layer, Radix UI components styled with Tailwind CSS, MDX-based documentation and blog functionality, Stripe subscription handling, and TypeScript throughout.
The project is archived and no longer maintained. The README explicitly states it does not reflect current best practices, may contain deprecated APIs, and is not recommended for production use. It was created when the app router was in public preview, and the framework has since stabilized with significant architectural changes. Developers should consult Vercel's templates directory for current Next.js starters instead.
The project's development is inactive following its official archival. No ongoing maintenance or updates are being made to the codebase.
