If you're like me, you've probably done this more times than you'd like to admit:
- Open a new GitHub repo
- Set up Next.js
- Add Supabase or Firebase
- Struggle with auth logic, payments, dashboard layout
- Waste 2-3 days before you even write a line of product code
Why are we doing this to ourselves?
Time Is Your Most Expensive Resource
As indie hackers, we’re not short on ideas.
We’re short on time, money, and mental bandwidth.
The quicker you get to the “validation” phase, the better.
But when you spend 70% of your time setting up email, image uploads, routing, and payment integration — you burn out before you even launch.
That’s exactly what kept happening to me.
The Turning Point
A couple weeks ago, I decided to stop reinventing the wheel.
I built myself a SaaS boilerplate with everything pre-integrated:
- Supabase auth + database
- Lemon Squeezy payments (way easier than Stripe)
- Resend for transactional emails
- Cloudinary for media uploads in blogs
- Clean dashboard layout + Next.js App Router setup
- Pre-written unit tests so I don’t ship garbage accidentally
And guess what? I finally shipped something.
SaaSRocket Was Born
I packaged that boilerplate into a product called SaaSRocket.
It’s what I now use for any new SaaS idea I want to launch quickly.
It’s lightweight, fast to set up, and honestly saved me from the graveyard of “almost-shipped” ideas.
Not Just for Me
I priced it at $49 (with a crossed-out $119) so other indie devs — especially those in lower-income regions — can skip the grunt work too.
If I had this a year ago, I probably would've launched 4–5 SaaS products already.

Or build from scratch again... if you like pain 😅
Have you found or built any boilerplates that actually saved you serious time? Would love to hear your stack 👇
