'django saas startup kit' concept of the author is really smart
there's a hole in the market for people wanting to use frameworks to make saas sites -- frameworks provide great primitives that are subtly unusable for some modern web apps. Login but not saml, admin but not multitenant, forms but not multiple forms on a page
feels like this scratches an increasingly common itch of 'the web as a platform isn't shaped like what people use the web for'
- czue 5y ago100% agree. Frameworks are an incredible starting place and allow everyone to get a head start. But there's still a big gap between what a framework will cover versus what a SaaS app needs. Also boilerplates occupy a very important world between no-code and code-everything-yourself. In a no-code world you're fully at the mercy of whatever options someone has provided you with. But starting from a boilerplate allows you to dive in and completely customize things how you need to, without having to worry about the provided abstractions. As a developer the interface I want to use is code, but few products provide that.
