There's just not enough here to justify the price.

I can understand that! What would you like to see included that would justify the price for you?

I honestly don't know. But from my perspective, this year I've spent probably in excess of 1000 hours working on my SaaS app, by contrast it took me maybe 3 days to setup all the required services to connect to Stripe, my analytics provider, etc.

Simply put, saving a few days of setup time does not cross the threshold of a product or service I would pay for. If this was something that would take me a few weeks or a month to put together myself then it would be a product I'd be willing to pay for.

Take a product like TailwindUI, it's expensive but also very worth it because it takes the time to build a professional landing page from 2-3 weeks of work down to 2-3 days of work.

Looks like frontpage url (launchleopard.com) is not working - giving me 500 response. Then in docs neither starter repository buttons works - leads to 404. Is it built using your own boilerplate? If yes, then I am not buying :)

Haha yes, was an issue with a rate limit on the Github API, should be fixed now! Didn't expect this amount of traffic :) Docs were built with Mintlify and the links to the repos in the docs will work once you have accepted the invite (after making a purchase).

Please solve some harder problems for me. I don't need this - there's so many tools that do this already. Boilerplate SaaS code is a commodity. Help me find customers, please

I understand! Perhaps I should include more tools and tutorials on marketing as well?

I've been seeing so many people trying to sell "kits" like this for Next.js and similar, it's quite strange as it's always mostly boilerplate code and otherwise freely available NPM packages.

These types of things should be "starter projects" and frankly they should be free on Github for anyone to download and learn with.

I have a hard time seeing any market for these kits outside of lazy junior developers.

You literally just valued your time at $13 per day.

I've setup my own internal kit (I'm not selling it now) and it's much work that you think to get the small details right and bring everything together properly.

I've spent a few days on it and the price is worth it to save that amount of work in my opinion.

This is a huge problem in the tech world I think. I think of myself as $30/hour against purchases and subscriptions - each hour something saves me is worth $30.

This boilerkit is worth $39 to me because it would definitely take me longer than a couple hours to build myself. Someone else has already put in the 100 to 1000 hours to make it a decent experience.
