In plain words

ShipFast is a Next.js boilerplate designed to help developers launch startups quickly. It comes pre-configured with essential tools and infrastructure needed to move a product from concept to production. The boilerplate targets developers and founders who want to reduce development time and focus on building their core product rather than handling repetitive setup tasks. It aims to streamline the initial deployment phase significantly.

From the sources

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

    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

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • 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…
