Hey devs 👋
Over the last couple of months, I went full tunnel vision and built a complete AI image generation SaaS platform from scratch — solo.
No team, no VC money, just caffeine and a hatred for boilerplate code.
Introducing VisionAI: A full-stack, production-ready AI image generation boilerplate that lets you launch your own Midjourney-style platform with payments, user management, and community features already wired in.
🚀 What It Does
This isn’t a toy project or a half-baked clone. VisionAI is packed with everything you'd expect from a serious SaaS product:
- ✅ 2K / 4K AI image generation
- ✅ Stripe-powered credit system & subscription plans
- ✅ Community gallery with likes, follows, comments
- ✅ Auth system with JWT, role-based access, email verification
- ✅ User dashboard, credit usage tracking, generation history
- ✅ Admin-level controls and secure APIs
- ✅ Modern, responsive UI with dark/light mode
It's designed so you don’t have to spend weeks rebuilding the same stack over and over.
🧠 Tech Stack
Here's what powers it under the hood:
Frontend:
- React 18 + TypeScript
- Vite for fast dev
- TailwindCSS + Radix UI
- React Query for state/data
- Lucide Icons
Backend:
- Node.js + Express (TypeScript)
- MongoDB + Mongoose
- JWT for authentication
- Stripe integration (subscriptions + credits)
- Multer for file handling
- Helmet for basic security
DevOps & Infra:
- Dockerized
- Frontend: Deploy on Vercel / Netlify
- Backend: Deploy on Railway / Heroku
- Database: MongoDB Atlas
- Image Storage: Cloudinary
- Payments: Stripe (with full webhook flow)
🛠️ Who It’s For
If you’re:
- A solo indie hacker building in public
- A dev freelancing for AI startups
- An agency looking to white-label AI tools
- Or just tired of building the same SaaS structure from scratch...
VisionAI can save you a ridiculous amount of time.
💰 Where to Buy
You can check out the full breakdown, features, live demo, and pricing on my Gumroad here:

I’ve listed different license tiers (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) so you can pick what fits your use case.
🧵 The Why
I built VisionAI because every time I started a new SaaS, I ended up spending 70% of my time building the same base logic — auth, payments, usage tracking, etc.
So this time, I just said screw it and turned it into something that others can use too.
🧃 Bonus
Want to preview the UI or see how I structured the project? I’m happy to share screenshots, folder structure, or even a quick walkthrough video. Just drop a comment or message me on Twitter/X or LinkedIn.
