Hi HN! I've been building ReadyKit, an open-source SaaS boilerplate that handles all the hard parts: multi-tenant workspaces, Stripe billing, OAuth + MFA authentication, and a production-ready stack. Built with Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Vue 3, it's designed for indie makers and teams who want to ship SaaS products fast. Clone, configure your OAuth and Stripe keys, and you're running in 5 minutes. Features include automatic query scoping for workspace isolation, audit logs, role-based access, and a modern UX kit. MIT licensed and free forever. GitHub:…

Hey HN! I've been serially building AI projects for over a year, and building node + js SaaS products for over 10 years with my partner. We decided to combine everything we know about AI with our node best-practices into a code boilerplate and see if it can help anyone else! We've had a bunch of positive feedback already from early-users, and at least two SaaS products being developed right now with StartKit.AI as their base. Here's what you get! → Pre-built modules for all common AI tasks: - Chat! Everything to build a ChatGPT clone or your own chatbot. With best-practice implementations of…

Spec Driven Development approach allows to squeeze more from coding agents thanks to few strong concepts: - decomposition across two dimensions. first you generate specs in multiple steps (requirements, code analysis, design), than you split task into multiple subtasks and implement them one by one - you clear context between every step - after spec generation and after subtask implementation. this helps keep cost low and context clear and focused which boost performance - specs written to disk help with information persistency - delivering specs layer by layer help to catch early when agent…
