TLDR: We built LaunchSuite as a Remix-based SaaS boilerplate designed for indie developers, solopreneurs who want to ship fast without sacrificing architecture. It includes AI-ready Cursor Rules, pre-built CLI scaffolding, and 16 production-grade features. MVPs go from zero to deployed in ~6 hours.
The Problem We Solved
I've built three SaaS products. Each one started the same way:
Weeks 1-3: Authentication (email, OAuth, 2FA)
Weeks 4-5: Database schema and ORM setup
Weeks 6-7: Stripe integration and webhooks
Weeks 8-9: Admin dashboards and user management
Weeks 10-12: API endpoints and validation
Weeks 13+: Finally, actual product features
That's 12+ weeks of infrastructure before touching what makes my product unique.
By the time I got to my actual differentiator, I was burned out. Or my runway was tight. Or I'd already missed market momentum.
LaunchSuite exists to collapse that timeline.
Why Remix Over Next.js?
Most boilerplates default to Next.js. We deliberately chose Remix.
Before you say "why not Next.js?"—hear us out. This decision matters because it shapes everything downstream.
Progressive Enhancement
Remix makes progressive enhancement the default. Your forms work without JavaScript. Data loads without JavaScript. Authentication flows complete without JavaScript.
This isn't nostalgia. It's resilience engineering.
When a user on a 3G connection in an emerging market uses your app, their critical paths function even if JavaScript fails to load. Your database query returned? Form submission happens. No spinners. No "waiting for JS to load."
AI-Ready Codebase: Cursor Rules & Claude Skills
Here's where LaunchSuite becomes genuinely different from every other boilerplate.
We ship with pre-configured Cursor Rules that automatically load when you open the project in Cursor IDE (or Windsurf, or Claude Code):
.cursor/rules/architecture.mdc (auto-loaded)
File patterns: app/, server/
Guidance:
- Server code lives in /server, routes in /app/routes
- Use loaders for data fetching, actions for mutations
- Keep components presentational
- Business logic in modules, not in routes
- Organize by feature, not by type
When you ask Cursor:
"Create a feature to let users invite team members to their organization with roles"
Cursor doesn't hallucinate. It:
Checks the Architecture Rule → knows where files belong
Checks the Database Rule → knows your schema patterns
Checks the API Design Rule → knows your response format
Checks the Security Rule → knows RBAC patterns
Generates code that fits your project exactly
We include 10 pre-configured Cursor Rules:
Architecture - Project structure and file organization
API Design - Endpoint patterns, validation, error responses
Database - ORM usage, migrations, relationships
Components - React patterns, accessibility, styling
Security - Auth flows, RBAC, audit logging
Billing - Stripe patterns, webhook handling
Testing - Vitest, Playwright, coverage expectations
Performance - Caching, lazy loading, optimization
Accessibility - ARIA, semantic HTML, keyboard navigation
Deployment - Environment setup, build optimization
Plus 6 pre-built Claude Skills for domain-specific development:
Remix Full-Stack Pattern
Multi-Tenant Architecture & RLS
Stripe Billing Integration
Admin Dashboard Building
Email Template Creation
API Design & Implementation
Load a skill with @/Stripe Billing Integration and Claude knows your entire billing architecture.
From Zero to Deployed MVP: The Timeline
Hour 1: Initialize + Database
├─ npx create-launchsuite my-startup
├─ launchsuite generate model Project
└─ launchsuite generate model Task
Hour 2: Authentication & Authorization
├─ BetterAuth pre-configured (just customize)
├─ Google OAuth setup (3 ENV vars)
└─ Multi-tenant organization setup
Hour 3: API Endpoints
├─ launchsuite generate api endpoint projects
├─ launchsuite generate api endpoint tasks
└─ All endpoints have RLS + validation
Hour 4: Admin Dashboard
├─ launchsuite generate dashboard page analytics
├─ Charts showing users, revenue, active projects
└─ Real-time metric updates
Hour 5: User-Facing Features
├─ Open Cursor IDE
├─ "Create project creation form with real-time validation"
├─ Cursor generates: component + API + database logic
└─ All auto-aligned to your architecture
Hour 6: Deploy & Monitor
├─ npm run build
├─ npm run deploy
├─ Application is live with:
│ ├─ Real authentication
│ ├─ Real billing (Stripe ready)
│ ├─ Real multi-tenancy
│ ├─ Real admin dashboard
│ └─ Real API endpoints
That's a production-ready SaaS. Not a demo. Not a prototype. Something you can charge money for immediately.
Developers using LaunchSuite report 3-5x faster feature development compared to starting from scratch.
For Indie Developers Specifically
If you're building solo or with a small team:
You can't afford to rewrite authentication. LaunchSuite's BetterAuth is battle-tested.
You can't debug ORM issues for weeks. Drizzle is pre-configured.
You can't hire a DevOps engineer. Deployment is automated.
You can't build admin dashboards twice. They're included.
For indie devs, a boilerplate isn't a convenience. It's the difference between shipping and not shipping.
The AI Angle: Why This Matters Now
In 2025, every developer worth their salt uses Cursor or Claude Code or Windsurf. These tools are force multipliers.
But only if your codebase cooperates.
_Most boilerplates create codebases where AI tools struggle:
Inconsistent patterns
Unclear conventions
Scattered configuration_
LaunchSuite is different. Its architecture is deliberately simple and consistent. AI tools understand it immediately. When you prompt Cursor, it generates code that fits, not code you have to refactor.
This cascading benefit:
You write fewer prompts (the AI understands your intent)
Generated code works first try (it's architecturally aligned)
You iterate faster (less refactoring)
Your codebase stays clean (consistency compounds)
Who Should Use LaunchSuite?
✅ Indie SaaS founders - You need to ship before your runway ends
✅ Full-stack developers - You want architecture that scales
✅ AI tool enthusiasts - You want your codebase to work with Cursor/Claude
✅ Developers sick of boilerplate - You want conventions, not configuration
✅ Startups bootstrapping - You can't hire 3 senior engineers
✅ Enterprise teams - This is built for rapid iteration, not enterprise governance (Available in Enterprise Variant)
✅ Monolithic legacy projects - We're optimizing for new projects
The Bigger Picture
The boilerplate market is consolidating. The winners aren't the ones with the most features—they're the ones that prevent debt while enabling velocity.
LaunchSuite's bet: Developers want intelligent scaffolding + architecture that scales + AI integration that works.
We're building for founders who:
Have shipped before (understand what "production-ready" means)
Use modern AI tools (Cursor, Claude, Windsurf)
Care about long-term maintainability, not just week-one speed
Want to outsource plumbing, not compromise on quality
The Philosophy
LaunchSuite isn't a template.
Templates are stale the day you publish them. They're snapshots of one developer's opinion, frozen in time.
LaunchSuite is a living system. It evolves. It has opinions about architecture, but those opinions are reversible. You can eject from any pattern and replace it with your own.
We're betting on Remix. We're betting on Drizzle. We're betting on progressive enhancement. We're betting on server-centric architecture.
But these are choices, not prison sentences.
If you want to switch ORMs in 6 months? The architecture supports it.
If you want to add GraphQL? All the tooling is there.
If you want to move to a different hosting platform? Remix handles it.
**We're building for developers, not for lock-in.
Try LaunchSuite. Give it a day. Build something small. See how fast you can move.**
bash
npx create-launchsuite my-startup
If it clicks, you'll save weeks per project. Multiply that by the number of products you'll build in your career, and you've saved years of engineering time.
Ship Your SaaS at Warp Speed.
