Why another SaaS boilerplate?
I’ve already built a great production-ready SaaS boilerplate (SaasRock) that paid the bills for 2 years:
And before that, some failed ones (netcoresaas and saasfrontends). Let me tell you the reasons:
- As an indie hacker, I burnout from time to time and my best way to combat it is by exploring new projects (yes, it will happen to RockStack eventually).
- I love Remix, but I want to be up-to-date with RSC, and Next.js seems to be getting more and more popular every year.
- SvelteKit looks great.
If you’re a saasrock enterprise customer, rockstack will be free
I learned some things with SaasRock
Don’t complicate pricing
SaasRock has 3 editions (compare them), with RockStack I’ll have just 1 price for all editions/frameworks ($199).
Don’t overengineer
I’m doing you and myself a favor by keeping the scope small.
Don’t over-promise
One day I wake up motivated, but then I remember the promises I made to my customers (i.e. Dircraft).
Great naming
I still pains me to see people typing SaasRock as: SaaSRock and SaaS Rock. My fault for trying to use SaaS in the name. I hope nobody calls it SaasRockStack though.
What about Nuxt and Astro 😔?
Belive me I tried, but i18n (with cookie detection) was hard to implement, see my failed attempts: astro, nuxt. Call me stubborn but I really don’t like my i18n like this:
- mysite[.]com/
contact - mysite[.]com/
es/contact - mysite[.]com/
es/app/:tenant/settings
…and I couldn’t figure out how to solve it.
What about SaasRock 😳?
It still pays my bills at an average of $5k/m, and it’s still my production-ready SaaS boilerplate, in which I’ve build these SaaS apps:
- DataLang.io
- EarlyBee.io
- Indexer.so
- And others that generated near $0: 365mvps, Gumcrm.io, Factura.so.
So it’s not going anywhere, I’m just expanding my revenue streams.
Why not open source it 😠?
I love creating open-source projects, but when it comes to paying the bills, I’ve had no luck with OS, not even with Commercial Open Source Software.
