Why I Built My Own Boilerplate

I've spent the last 2 years building projects, shipping MVPs, and... well, scrapping most of them halfway through.

What I realized? I was spending 80% of my time doing the same boring stuff every single time:

  • Setting up Supabase auth
  • Connecting email services like Resend
  • Struggling with Stripe or Lemon Squeezy integrations
  • Making yet another dashboard layout
  • Stressing about SEO or image handling

It wasn’t fun. It wasn’t efficient. And it damn sure wasn’t helping me ship faster.


Enter: SaaSRocket 🚀

So I built SaaSRocket — a battle-tested SaaS boilerplate that gives indie devs everything they need to launch a SaaS in a few days, not weeks.

It comes with:

  • 🔐 Supabase authentication
  • 📧 Resend email integration
  • 💳 Lemon Squeezy for payments
  • 📸 Cloudinary for blog media
  • 🧠 SEO best practices out of the box
  • ✅ Pre-written unit tests
  • 📦 Production-ready with Next.js + Tailwind

And yeah — I priced it at $49 because indie devs deserve better than $200 boilerplates.


What It Looks Like

A Message to Fellow Builders

I'm not some YC-funded rocket startup. I’m just a 21-year-old indie hacker trying to fund my master’s in Japan.

This boilerplate helped me break out of “rebuild hell” and finally ship. If it can save even one dev 20+ hours of grunt work, it’s worth it.

You can check it out here: https://www.saasrocket.pro

And if you like it, feel free to share or give feedback — I’d love to connect.


TL;DR

Stop wasting hours wiring the same 5 tools together.

Build your SaaS with everything already connected.
