Django + HTMX Boilerplate for SaaS

I am sharing a boilerplate to help you build your startup faster for free.

Why I built it?

I’m a self-taught developer chasing the solopreneur dream - building SaaS and working for myself.

Last year, I set an unrealistic goal to build 12 apps in 12 months. More apps = more wins, right?

To pull it off, I needed a lean, efficient boilerplate.

But looking at what's available, they are either too pricey (hundreds of dollars) or bloated with stuff I didn’t need.

So, I built my own. It’s simple, customizable, and perfect for bootstrapping SaaS ideas fast.

Two months in, I’ve already shipped 4 apps with it.

I shared it on a few subreddits, and I've received many positive feedbacks from developers.

It's built with Django, Tailwind and HTMX

Right now, it has features such as user authentication, Wagtail CMS, Email verification, default admin panel.

I am planning on adding more features as I go - Stripe, DRF, analytics, Sentry logging, Redis, Celery, multi-tenancy and whatnot.

But I may charge a fee for the complete boilerplate. Let me know if you think this is a good idea and what would be a fair price?

It is available on my Github repo if you're interested.
