A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff
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

In plain words
ShipFast is a Next.js boilerplate that handles repetitive setup tasks for web applications, including DNS configuration, database connection, and Stripe webhook integration. It is designed for solopreneurs and founders who want to spend less time on infrastructure and more time building their core product. The boilerplate aims to reduce common issues like email deliverability problems and authentication approval delays.

The NextJS boilerplate with all the stuff you need to get your product in front of customers. From idea to production in 5 minutes.
The NextJS boilerplate with all you need to build your SaaS, AI tool, or any other web app and make your first $ online fast. Without ShipFast I might have never launched my SaaS and I would still be at $0 MRR. In 2018, I believed I was Mark Zuckerberg, built a startup for 1 year, and got 0 users... A few years after my burnout, I restarted the journey differently: I shipped like a madman— 16 startups in 2 years. Now I'm happy and earn $45,000 a month. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, listen to Stripe webhooks, design pricing section... So I built ShipFast for 3 reasons: 135,000+ people trust me on Twitter, Product Hunt awarded me Maker of the Year…from shipfa.st

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
