    Hi HN! I am a indie hacker and love building apps with SvelteKit, so I built a boilerplate with the tech stack I always use. It has almost everything needed to launch a SaaS/tool/AI app, like auth, db + orm, email, payments and styling. You can view everything that's included on the website and the docs (https://docs.launchleopard.com) Would love to hear what other features or tech you'd want to see in a boilerplate like this!

    Hey HN! I've been working on a Ruby On Rails SaaS template as my primary side project for the last month, it's name is Locomotive. https://www.locomotive.it.com/ Locomotive offers: 1. Stripe subscriptions and webhooks set-up 2. Devise authentication 3. PostgreSQL database 4. Prebuilt components and pages with TailwindCSS Locomotive is pretty simple that's why I price it just for €50 (or a bit more than $50)

    Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…
