Description

Summary

I noticed in the roadmap section there's an incomplete item for "Add Additional Templates w/ Examples" and I'd like to better understand what you're envisioning for this feature.

Current Roadmap Item

  • Add Additional Templates w/ Examples

Questions for Clarification

Template Types

What types of additional templates are you considering? For example:

  • Project-specific templates (web apps, mobile apps, APIs, libraries, etc.)
  • Language-specific templates (Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, etc.)
  • Framework-specific templates (React, Vue, Django, Express, etc.)
  • Use case templates (documentation sites, CLI tools, microservices, etc.)

Template Structure

How would these additional templates be organized?

  • Separate directories like /templates/web-app/, /templates/cli-tool/?
  • Different repository branches?
  • Separate repositories with this as a parent template?
  • Variations of the current BLANK_README.md with different sections?

Examples

What kind of examples are you thinking of including?

  • Real-world project examples using each template
  • Before/after showcases of projects that adopted the templates
  • Code snippets for common customizations
  • Screenshots of how different templates render

Scope & Prioritization

  • Are there specific templates that would be highest priority?
  • Should these templates maintain the same markdown linting standards?
  • Would you want community contributions for different template types?
  • Any technical constraints to consider (file size, complexity, etc.)?

Background

I've been working on improving the existing template (markdown linting, FAQ documentation) and would love to help with this roadmap item once I understand the vision better.

Motivation

Understanding the scope would help determine:

  • Whether this aligns with community needs
  • How much effort would be involved
  • What the contribution process might look like
  • How to maintain consistency across templates

Thanks for creating such a useful template! Looking forward to your thoughts on this roadmap item.
