My SaaS Shortcut: Focus on What Matters, Skip the Rest

I used to be head over heels with my SaaS ideas—spending weeks building everything from scratch, only to launch and watch them flop. Then it hit me: not every product is going to be a hit, and the key is to ship fast to get real-world validation. You’ve got to speed up the process by focusing only on the core features.

That’s what I do now. I’ve built a toolbox with everything I need—user authentication (email and OAuth), database and file storage, and Stripe payments/subscriptions with server-side functionality. It’s all in one folder. I just pull in whatever utility I need, whenever I need it. Think of it like underscore.js, but instead of array methods like filter, map, or reduce, you’ve got user auth, Stripe integration, database, and file storage, all with server functionality.

I’ve packaged it up into a private repo: https://bravo.anthonycharles.work
