Summary

Strapi Starters and templates aim to make building with Strapi easier for users who build similar types of applications, such as blogs, corporate websites, eCommerce apps, and job boards. They provide pre-made frontend applications linked to a template with configured content types, components, dynamic zones, or plugins, making it easier for anyone to get started with Strapi. A Strapi template is used to create various starters, which pull data from the backend generated from a template and then display that in a frontend of your choice. The new Starter CLI makes it easy to set up a Strapi project by specifying what type of application you want to build. User-created starters can be made using an official or user-made Strapi template, requiring only a starters folder with the frontend application and a starter.json file referencing the template. The creation process is becoming easier due to new template generation functionality in the Strapi CLI. Strapi aims to improve the developer experience of creating and using Starters, adding more features and use cases over time.
