About GlassKit

GlassKit is a comprehensive fullstack starter kit designed specifically for developers working with Meta's Ray-Ban Display developer preview. It offers a ready-to-use environment that includes a Vite-based glasses app optimized for 600×600 displays, complete with D-pad and sensor hooks, alongside a Next.js companion site optimized for SEO. The shared Convex backend ensures streamlined data management across both apps, while integrated services like Clerk authentication, Stripe billing, and Resend email are wired together for quick deployment. This toolkit is ideal for developers eager to prototype and deploy Ray-Ban Display apps rapidly, offering a hassle-free setup that can be cloned and deployed within minutes, enabling shipping in a weekend. What makes GlassKit stand out is its holistic approach—it's not just a collection of packages but an integrated starter environment tailored for the emerging AR glasses platform, accelerating development and reducing setup time for innovative AR experiences.
