Code + NoCode = Perfect SaaS?

Hi everyone,

while thinking about realizing a recent SaaS idea, I came to the conclusion, that I only want to code the core of my SaaS but not all the stuff around. Let me explain that:

I don't want to build and maintain all of the stuff that would usually come with a boilerplate like Authentication, usermanagement, subscriptions, team functionalities and things like this. I only want to build the core functionalities of my app.

I thought about using a boilerplate but wasn't able to find one that suits my needs (I was looking for something Python based, because I'm not willing to learn any new language like PHP or Ruby right now). Also I don't really wan't to spend much time maintaining the boilerplate.

So I started researching for some No-Code Solutions and came across Outseta but I'm not sure how to integrate it in an webapp.

Do you have any advice for me? How are your experiences with outsourcing everything but your SaaS core functionalities? Is this even possible?

    This is one of the reasons I built Divjoy, but of course like you mention, there's going to be some ongoing maintenance work if you are managing the boilerplate code yourself. Long term I'm super interested in the idea of hosting all the SaaS boilerplate for users but somehow giving them full code access to a specific part of the UI.. Sounds like Outseta might do that, but I'm also having trouble finding how that works.
