An opinionated, supercharged version of the Kirby Plainkit used internally at Love & Kindness for our clients' sites, with preconfigured tooling and plugins.
If you're not interested in all of my frontend opinions, you can use composerkit, which is essentially a simpler version with only Composer and the public & data folder setup.
Note
While Kirby Baukasten is open source & used in production as base for my own projects, it's not properly versioned, and I'm not offering support for it. Instead, it should serve as a reference or guide for implementing certain best practices in your own starterkit.
