Went Framework

Open-source fullstack framework built on Next.js for fast web development with zero configuration and type safety.

Went Framework

Project overview

Went Framework was created to remove the repetitive setup work that slows down modern web projects. By combining Next.js 15, TypeScript, tRPC, Prisma, and Auth.js, it gives developers a strong default stack without the usual boilerplate.

The framework is built around a zero-configuration mindset, so new projects can start immediately instead of spending hours on setup. The CLI generates a full project structure with sensible defaults for API routes, database schema work, authentication, and UI components.

One of Went's biggest strengths is end-to-end type safety. tRPC keeps API calls typed from server to client, Prisma provides typed database access, and Auth.js covers authentication out of the box. The result is a faster and more reliable developer workflow.
