What is starters?

In the context of software development, particularly web frameworks and application development, 'starters' (also often called 'boilerplates', 'scaffolders', or 'kickstarters') refer to pre-configured project templates designed to provide a foundational structure for new projects. They typically include essential dependencies, basic directory structures, build configurations, and sometimes example code, allowing developers to quickly begin working on the unique aspects of their application without having to manually set up the initial project environment. Starters can save significant time and effort, promote consistency across projects, and often incorporate best practices.
