    Hey HN. I'm a developer and solopreneur. Few months ago I realized I was doing the same thing over and over again: set up onboarding flow, user authentication, payments, connect a DB... So I built ExpoShip for 3 reasons: 1. Save Time and focus on what matters: building a business. 2. Avoid headaches like setting up authentication or handling in-app payments. 3. Get profitable fast. I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback. Rudolfs

    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
