Hi 👋 As promised, here's a sneak peek at the SaaS Starter Kit I've been working on over the past few weeks! It's a highly opinionated boilerplate project built with Nuxt UI v3 Pro and NuxtHub, designed to streamline SaaS development. Since I plan to sell it, this starter kit won't be free and the price will be about $69. You'll also need a Nuxt UI Pro license and be ready to deploy on NuxtHub. If that doesn't fit your needs, a more flexible starter kit might be a better choice. You can check it out a early demo of the kit here. For the best experience, log in with the following demo admin user credentials: Email: bsw799za8@mozmail.com Password: NuxtStarterKit2025! The kit is feature-complete, but I'm waiting for stable releases of Nuxt UI Pro v3 and Nuxt Content v3 before publishing it. Feel free to join the waitlist in the footer of the demo page, if you are interested. Stay tuned for more updates!

💡 Nuxt Tip: Scroll to the Top Before Rendering a Page

definePageMetadefinePageMeta is a compiler macro that you can use to set metadata for your pages. With the scrollToTopscrollToTop parameter you tell Nuxt to scroll to the top before rendering the page or not:

1<script setup lang="ts">
2definePageMeta({
3  layout: 'default',
4  scrollToTop: true,
5})
6</script>

If you want to overwrite the default scroll behavior of Nuxt, you can do so in ~/app/router.options.ts~/app/router.options.ts (see custom routing) for more info.
