Ask HN: A SaaS template for new products? Cut dev time to 1 week?
I have lots of ideas and I want to try them out. Some of the are rather small and some are big, but they all need:
1. Auth
2. Subscription
3. Dashboard
Is there an easy way to basically scaffold an entire SaaS project to cut development time to 1 week and focus only on building the product, not all the other stuff?
Using Auth0 and Stripe and what not does cut dev time but still requires a lot of work for a new project.
Any ideas?
- tluyben2 4y agoThere are many saas starter kits: some free, most paid. There are very complete ones which will safe you from having to do any saas plumbing like you say.
- amukbils 4y agoGreat. Maybe the term "SaaS starter kit" is what I should be searching for. That's helpful. Thank you.
- tluyben2 4y agoHere is one that I ran into a few days ago on HN: it seems very complete. I have no affiliation but it just seems more complete than others I ran into. https://saasrock.com/ https://saasrock.com/
- bambataa 4y agoWhy not do all that for one of your small ideas, spend a big of time making it configurable and repeat for the next one?
- amukbils 4y agoI'm growing more frustrated every time I have to do this. So I'm really thinking about building a premium starter kit and pricing it for anyone else like me as well.
- czue 4y agoThe best listing of these I've found is here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates I believe they are listed in ~order of popularity/maturity by framework. Or at least the top 1-2 in each framework are the ones I've heard the most about.

- kylegawley 4y agoThere are quite a few starter kits, for various stacks. I built https://usegravity.app https://usegravity.app for React/Node SaaS Pegasus is a good one for Python: https://www.saaspegasus.com/ https://www.saaspegasus.com/
