10 days ago, I gave myself a challenge:
💡 Build a SaaS product and make $1000 in revenue in 50 days.
I knew I didn’t have time to build something huge. I needed leverage.
So instead of building a SaaS, I built a SaaS boilerplate — the thing every SaaS builder needs before they build. SaaSRocket
The Problem
Every time I started a new idea, I’d waste days:
- Wiring up Supabase or Firebase
- Setting up auth, dashboard pages, SEO
- Integrating email, image uploads, payments
- Writing the same boilerplate over and over again
- Or scrolling through GitHub trying to find the “perfect starter”
So I built the thing I kept needing.
What I Built
I call it SaaSRocket — a plug-and-play boilerplate that gives indie devs everything they need to go from “new repo” to “launch day.”
- 🔥 Supabase Auth + Database
- 💳 Lemon Squeezy payments (no Stripe docs to drown in)
- 📧 Resend email setup
- 🖼️ Cloudinary for blog/media support
- ✅ Pre-written unit tests
- 🧠 SEO & Next.js 14 App Router ready
- 🧪 Tested. Documented. Packaged.
It's built for devs like me — who don’t want to spend 2 weeks writing code just to get the basics running.
Why It’s $49
I know most boilerplates are $150+. Some are $300+.
But I priced SaaSRocket at $49 because:
- I wanted to make it accessible, especially for indie hackers in countries like mine.
- I wanted to compete with free by being so low-friction that it feels like a steal.
- And let’s be honest — I want it to fund my master’s degree in Japan.
What I Learned
- There’s a real gap between open-source and premium SaaS starters.
- Shipping fast gives you insane clarity. I built this in 9 days.
- Pricing low can spark interest, but positioning matters even more.
- Marketing is 10x harder than coding (and that’s saying something).

Isn't the manifestation that you built it in 9 days devaluing your product? I am not a target, so it's possible that I don't understand something.
