Congratulations on the launch! 🚀🚀 Having worked with quite a few SaaS companies on their video production, I can already think of a few people who could be interested in trying this out.
@heleana Thanks! Your feedback means a lot! Spread the news, let them try it out and improve their businesses 🤞
@sentry_co Thanks for the feedback! And regarding your question - infrastructure as a code seems to produce the most interest! 🚀
@sentry_co It's basically a method of managing and provisioning computing infrastructure through machine-readable definition files, enabling automation and version control, akin to software development processes. You can read more about it in our documentation: https://docs.demo.saas.apptoku.c...
Looks pretty dooope, thanks boys! Are there any features or improvements you plan to introduce in the future? Or did you decide to make it free and leave it like that? (I'm for sure with that as well, but was just curious)
@soomie Thanks a bunch!
Surely we still want to develop it, and we strongly count on the feedback from the community, which will help us define the right path from the user perspective!
As of now, we are thinking about multi-tenancy to support multiple organizations, inviting users, etc
Significantly speed up the development process and provide a solid foundation for building successful SaaS applications. Excited to explore its capabilities and save time on future projects!
@hasan_ui_design Let us know if we can help with anything! 🚀 and many thanks for your feedback!
Fantastic release! I look forward to checking it out.
Can this be used for something like a react native project?
Also, since you mention it is built on react, does that mean the SaaS product also needs to be built on React? Or is that just the admin interface?
@daledesilva Thanks for the nice words!
and yes, it can be used for React Native projects. Backend API can be consumed by various clients. For React Native, there's just a little bit more to write.
From our experience, we know it's possible even to reuse some of the React libraries we wrote for the web app.
The web application is one of the components of the whole boilerplate. It's written in React and TypeScript, but you're able to replace it as much as you want. In the end, SaaS Boilerplate is a code repository, it's not a low-code / no-code solution 🚀
@hayr_hotoca Well yes; it's actually one of ideas we're entertaining. We're not sure if we're going to go in this direction, but for sure it's a possibility.
On top of that one of the projects built on top of SaaS Boilerplate did exactly that, took about a week for a single developer.
Most of the app uses features that are compatible with Next.js. You'd need to migrate the routing code of course and some settings. It's also possible to re-use the infrastructure code of backend to deploy to ECS or maybe just deploy do Vercel.
In the end SaaS Boilerplate is a code repository. You see all the code, and you're able to modify every part of it without any additional DSLs, or administration panels.
Wow! Congrats to all devs at Apptension who’ve been involved in creating the boilerplate! It looks dope!
@nathalie_kim1 Many thanks, we're proud to join the open-source family ✌️
Already had a chance to try the paid version and just played around with the new open-source SaaS Boilerplate - seriously, it's a treat! It's packed with all the good stuff like Stripe for payments, Contentful for CMS, and an AWS-based architecture that makes deployment a cinch.
Shout out to the Apptension crew for this gem. If you're dabbling in SaaS, you've got to check this out. More time for creativity and less time on setup - this is the way, right 😉?
@michal_chudziak Thanks for your feedback, Michał! We're extremely happy to know that SaaS Boilerplate is valuable for the community - in the end, it's our main goal with this launch 😄
@michal_chudziak Thanks! We put a lot into the development of this product and transitioning it to open source, so your feedback gives us confidence that we are heading in the right direction 🙌
And it should be the only way - focusing on essential business logic instead of developing repeatable features 🤩
The combination of React, Django, and AWS offers a solid foundation with essential features, all conveniently packed and now available for free. Thank you for making it open-source🔥
This is marvelous !! I am impressed that it is so complete with all things needed as a user. Great job!
A big round of applause for the impressive launch! 🎉🚀
This looks intriguing! I'll definitely recommend it 😊
