Show HN: SaaS template/boilerplate w SvelteKit, Tailwind, Supabase and Postgres
Hi HN,
Releasing a new SaaS template/boilerplate built with SvelteKit, Tailwind, Supabase & Postgres. It’s called SaasStarter.work
- MIT Open Source: https://github.com/CriticalMoments/CMSaasStarter
- Feature Rich: user auth, user dashboard, marketing site, billing/subscriptions, pricing page, blog engine, and more
- Very fast: perfect PageSpeed scores, achieved with pre-rendering and pre-compiling.
- Extensible: all the tools you need to make additional marketing pages, UI components, admin portals, database backends, API endpoints, etc.
- Hosting: Free to host, cheap to scale, easy to manage, automatic deployments
I know there are a lot of options out there for starter templates, but I really love working with this tech stack (SvelteKit/Supabase/Postgres). You spend a lot more time working on your SaaS than you do on initial setup. I believe working with the right tools will make you more efficient and happy in the long run, so it was worth it for me to set this up. Suggestions/feedback/contributions are welcome.
Nice of you for not monetizing this template. There are so many boilerplates out there so it doesn't really feel necessary to pay rn. Maybe a boilerplate with a twist would be different or support or something.
However. Supabase only support like one project on their free tier. Otherwise I like it. Do you pay for Supabase to host multiple projects or how do you do it?
Awesome! I wish you had started this 18 months ago when I needed something like this. I wanted something like shopify but for a SAAS and the closest I came was consultants. As perhaps helpful feedback, it would be essential that there's an open source version so that I don't feel trapped but I'm not sure how you can monetise that enough. I probably wouldn't have paid for consulting. I have seen some open source projects that delay the open source release vs commercial, that might have got me to pay. Or premium add-ons. Anyway, just wanted to let you know, this was a bleeding neck problem I had, but now that I'm 18 months into writing my own app and platform. (Half the work has been boring infra that doesn't advance the business.) Good luck!
This is pretty much the exact stack I've been wanting to try for a while. Being able to spin up a working starter project will be immensely useful, even if I end up doing my own from scratch eventually.
Thanks for publishing this!
Thanks for this! I was making something with this stack awhile back and spent too much time in the weeds setting everything up
O wow. Impressive. I am going to have to give it a try. Do you have any video tutorials?
