Stop Wasting Time on Config: I Built the Ultimate Spring Boot + React SaaS Starter (Open Source)

The Problem

If you're a Java developer, you know the pain. You want to build a SaaS, but you spend the first 3 days setting up:

• Spring Security (JWT filters...)
• CORS configuration
• Database connections
• React Project & Tailwind setup
It's boring. And it kills your momentum.

The Solution: SpringLaunch 🚀

I got tired of doing this manually, so I built SpringLaunch.
It's a production-ready boilerplate for Spring Boot 3 + React.

👉 Live Demo: https://spring-launch.vercel.app
👉 GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Divident1/spring-launch

🛠️ The Stack

• Backend: Java 17+, Spring Boot 3.2
• Frontend: React, Vite, Tailwind CSS
• Auth: Spring Security 6 (Stateless JWT)
• DB: PostgreSQL (Docker ready)
Why use it?

It's free. It saves you ~40 hours of setup time. You clone it, run docker-compose up, and start writing your business logic.

I'm actively adding features like Stripe integration and Email support.
