    The Next.js SaaS boilerplate market is saturated, but there's still room if you solve real developer pain points. I believe I've done exactly that – 70+ customers in just 90 days proves there's genuine demand for what Nexty offers. Hi, I'm Jude Wei, a software engineer obsessed with understanding what developers actually need. 90 days ago, I started building what I thought would be just another personal Next.js template. But as features evolved, I realized I was creating something that could genuinely help fellow developers ship faster. That's when Nexty.dev was born. Thanks to incredible…

    A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff▲23

    Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc
