I've settled into a stack that I like for building web apps with Node/Express on the back-end and Vue on the front-end. However, I still ended up re-implementing common things every time, like build automation, my Docker setup, user authentication, payments, all that basic stuff.
So instead of writing all that custom each time, I wrote a SaaS starter kit to build from, and decided to polish it up and also release it as a full-fledged product:
Nodewood: https://nodewood.com/ https://nodewood.com/
It's helped me to be more rigorous when building out features (if it's going to go into a framework that others are going to use, it needs to be well thought-out, tested, etc), and is there as a stepping stone for future businesses I want to work on. It's been really satisfying to build out for the past couple years, and I'm closing in on completing the last few features and adding sufficient polish so that I can take it out of beta.
