EliteSaaS – Self-Contained SaaS Starter (Auth, Billing, Email, Launch)

Hi HN, I got tired of rebuilding the same boilerplate for every side project — auth, billing, dashboards, waitlists, email flows, SEO metadata, launch pages… you know the drill. Most “SaaS starters” still require stitching together a bunch of external tools — Zapier, Intercom, Mailchimp, analytics, Stripe, etc. That ends up being fragile and expensive. So I built EliteSaaS to solve that. What’s included: • Auth, user management, password reset • Stripe subscriptions (recurring billing + coupons) • Admin dashboard, user table, impersonation • Built-in email flows and campaign manager (uses…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN, I got tired of rebuilding the same boilerplate for every side project — auth, billing, dashboards, waitlists, email flows, SEO metadata, launch pages… you know the drill. Most “SaaS starters” still require stitching together a bunch of external tools — Zapier, Intercom, Mailchimp, analytics, Stripe, etc. That ends up being fragile and expensive. So I built EliteSaaS to solve that. What’s included: • Auth, user management, password reset • Stripe subscriptions (recurring billing + coupons) • Admin dashboard, user table, impersonation • Built-in email flows and campaign manager (uses Resend) • Basic analytics • SEO + OpenGraph generator • Product Hunt + social launch content generator • Optional waitlist mode with invite codes Tech stack: • Next.js • Tailwind • Supabase • Resend • Vercel (deploy-ready) I built this for myself originally, and now I’m using it to spin up side projects fast without losing momentum on boring setup.

    Hey HN, Nir, Gal and Tomer here. Last week, we open-sourced Enrolla (https://github.com/enrolla/enrolla) - feature management for SaaS companies. It makes it easy for developers to control how their product behaves for customers in different pricing tiers. So things like which features are enabled for whom, rate limits and seat limits, but also your customer secrets (with end-to-end encryption), and other configurations. After 15 years of working together at various companies, where we rebuilt the same SaaS foundation layer again and again - we wanted to create something…

    Quickly build SaaS apps with MVPaaS2017 · ▲7

    MVPaaS (mvpaas.com) provides the common elements that all SaaS apps require: A customizable landing page (with plan and feature sections), secure credit card and subscription handling, and user authentication. When a user signs in they will be redirected to your backend(with a token) where you can provide the core functionality of your SaaS offering. I've setup a starter Rails App that you can use to build the core of your SaaS app. I've also setup a deploy to Heroku button so you can get up and running right away. MVPaaS and this starter app makes it really easy to turn your side project…

    I Made an Open Source Boilerplate2024 · github.com · ▲7

    Hey HN, When I was learning to code I was always intrigued to see the guys on twitter making money with a SaaS. I always wondered how to make them and after a few months I developed my own. I wanted to share a Boilerplate for any new devs who are wondering how to start their own SaaS or wonder how things work. Boilerplate comes with Auth, Payments, UI and all the good stuff. Ali

    V2.0 of Open SaaS, a free, open-source SaaS boilerplate starter is here2025 · opensaas.sh · ▲13

    I launched Open SaaS about a year and a half ago and surprisingly it’s become one of the most popular free SaaS boilerplate starters on github (https://github.com/wasp/open-saas). After 2 years of work total, I’m pleased to launch what I’m calling “Open SaaS v2.0”. Here’s a breakdown of all the features and updates I’ve made to it over time: * New Big, Shiny Things for v2.0 * - Complete redesign with Shadcn UI for a modern and consistent look (themeability coming soon...). - Script that autogenerates an LLM-friendly version of the documentation…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

    I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
