Jump Start Your SaaS

I've been trying to come up with a product idea for awhile now. After, speaking with friend through twitter I had an idea. What if there was a service that generated an api for your SaaS products. This API would only be for the boilerplate items you need for any SaaS product. Authentication, Invoicing, Permissions, Account Emails, Support Ticket System, and a very basic CRM. Maybe, even more items depending what customer needs are.

The idea is you sign up for this service and boom you have an api that you can easily use on your frontend to get your SaaS product up and running. This would allow devs to focus more on developing their product other then building their basic SaaS features.

What are your thoughts?

    We are also building a similar product that targets React and Serverless Stack on AWS. We are close to launching our MVP.

    There are no not many apps like this. I know there is something similar https://developer.okta.com/ but it's mostly for auth and user management.

      I used to work at Okta, and don’t see how this is even remotely related? Okta is 100% focused on SSO, they are also really tailored for Fortune 500 companies. I’d say at least look arbitrary Auth0 over Okta. But even Auth0 is still focused on authentication, a typical SaaS requires a lot more functionality than just authentication.

    Good idea, You may also want to check RapidAPI.com to get what are the common used features.

    This is kinda like what Firebase provides, but more custom for SaaS apps, I imagine? Would your target be devs? Like many of the others who have chimed in here, we're working on something similar at Midtype, haha.

      I think this is pretty close to what I imagined. Have any ideas of bring on more hands?

      1. 1

        Haha, thanks! Right now it's just two of us and until/unless we raise some serious funding, we probably won't be able to hire. I'd love to chat though and see how else we can work together. Can you shoot me an email at nilkanth@midtype.com?

      Just saw you on the productized services group :-)
      Was going to mention SaaSbox. There are a few others out there depending on what framework is in use. It's not a bad idea.

      Nice looks like a nice product. What made you throw in the graphical side or it instead of generating an API? Is it to also Target non devs?

          There is a large movement for no-code applications. How would you application differ from content management systems?
