Ask HN: A SaaS template for new products? Cut dev time to 1 week?

5 points by amukbils ↗ HN
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?

There 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.

Great. Maybe the term "SaaS starter kit" is what I should be searching for. That's helpful. Thank you.

Here 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.

Too expensive, too limited in stack :/

Definitely valueable but I feel it's not been cracked quite yet.

Yes, I see your point. The pricing is definitely on the very high side compared to the others.

Why not do all that for one of your small ideas, spend a big of time making it configurable and repeat for the next one?

I'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.
