    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…

    Hey HN , My product is targeted at developers who want to save 20+ hours writing the same boilerplate code. *Next Inject* is a CLI that lets you configure services such as payments, authentication, and SEO with a single command. *Next Inject* is straight to the point; you get exactly what you pay for, i.e. run `next-inject add stripe` and voila, you can now accept payments from users. Now there are products like shipfa.st that solve this problem, but for *6x* the price, and *20x* more boilerplate to overwhelm developers. Additionally, each Next Inject plugin has an optimized docs page to…

    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.…
