Starter for Payload API, shadcn/ui and Tailwind 4 for frontend

[tight yacht]

Hi everyone, I'm new to a lot of these technologies, so please bear with me.
I'm working on a rand new project, and thinking to use Payload for the API layer and the admin portal, and build my own frontend using shadcn/ui (and therefore Tailwind.) I wish to use Tailwind 4. Does this setup make sense? And, more importantly, does anyone have a starter template I can use? Thanks a lot in advance!

Mine has a tailwind 4 version with pg and streamlined workflow for Postgress, Live preview and more. https://github.com/drago1520/simple-payload-starter
It also has a mongodb version, which does not have latest Next 15.3x and tailwind 4, but is still far better than the broken website template

PR's and issues are always welcome

Upgrading to Tailwind v4 is pretty straightforward, but I didn't use it with pure CSS approach. Still using tailwind.config.mjs file. Did anyone was able to use CSS-only approach?

I migrated 80% of the config to the css file. Too scared to touch the others because there's no incentive
