Ha! This is awesome! I did something similar in 2016, and called it something silly like SaaS-in-Box, but after integrating security, and Blueprints and multi-tenancy and caching, and ... (I do think I ran into some problem with blueprints, actually), ... I finally decided I was inventing Django-on-Flask and that it probably didn't solve as many problems as I originally thought it would. BUT! That said - I think ther…

I appreciate the efforts being done in this space, but I don't think this is launch ready yet. It doesn't include some of the things that make a SaaS a SaaS, and not a typical user sign up web app with admin panel. For a SaaS framework you usually need at least: integration with a billing provider (almost always Stripe nowadays), web hook handling for a bunch of services (or a generic way of handling webhooks easily)…

Thanks a lot for the great comment. I totally agree about the functionality. Stripe integration will be the next feature I will add. And even so, I still believe this boilerplate can save you at least a week of work. I already used it for my other projects and I can confirm it. Dashboard UI is already done and I'm going to add more modules/components to make it easier to use. Do you have any suggestions what it would…

Fixed! But I still left the part about not using the code for purposes prohibited by law...

It's (presumably) redundant for what you intend it for (you can't grant a right to break the law..) - but can still be troubling. Which law(s), which jurisdictions ? Copyright law is fairly international through trade agreements - which is one of the reasons copyleft was such a great hack.
