aren't you a founder of one? :) what is the real goal of this post? gauge the market? somehow funnel to your thing? (honestly curious) //edit I see you already used another account to answer yourself with recommendation of your product IDK if the solopreneur thing has intensified so much recently, but almost every time I see a thread like that, here or on reddit, it's posted by the creator of the tool and he somehow…

Hey there.

First of all, this is the only account I own, the other replies are from people I don't know >.Second of all, I was asking to see what the community suggests in terms of SaaS Starter Kit, monitor the market, and discover new interesting things that I currently don't know.

I wonder why people always see the rot even where there is none.

JavaScript stack, both frontend and backend. For the characteristics I described, validate a product quickly, I don't need a spaceship SaaS boilerplate worth $699. Do you know any?

Why you're asking? You're the founder of shipped.club, a Next.js SaaS Starter Kit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38517337

I'm asking to discover new things I currently don't, and see what the community suggests.

Not exactly a starter kit, but something I think could be useful during early development: Noop Workshop [1]. Full disclosure I work @ noop. One of the primary benefits is you can quickly explore what Cloud components you need (locally) before purchasing them. We also built a bunch of templates in different languages that act as application boilerplate. If it works the way you want in Workshop you can launch right to…

I love what I see! Noop looks great for local development, and deployment to cloud services. I'll give it a try as soon as possible.

These are the pain points I'm looking for: - avoid vendor lock-in (avoid using Vercel, also for bandwidth cost) - continuous deployment (push to git) - let's encrypt certificates auto-renewal - scaling? (might be not necessary TBH)

"language you know" saas starter kit, get to the github repo and search for issues/activity (remember to include closed issues when you are looking) A better question would be: what should I look for in a SaaS starter kit? You will get a lot of opinionated responses, but for me at least, what I'm most interested in: - admin dashboard - ability to integrate/generate different billing/invoice/payment options - multiuse…

Good strategy, thanks!

Have you ever launched and run a SaaS business? I'm curious to know why you're looking for an admin dashboard (what should it include?) and what's multiuser strategy.
