Recently, I was building my own SaaS product like any other indie maker and it took me 5 months to build it from scratch, which was way more time than I expected at the beginning. So, for my next projects, I was thinking on how to reduce this time by 80% or more.
Instead of focusing on my SaaS product and on the things that matter, I was losing a lot of energy on some time-consuming things:
🔥 Authentication
🔥 Dashboard UI
🔥 Landing Page
🔥 Form management
🔥 Subscription
Thinking of saving my future development and design time, as well as that of other indie makers who might face similar issues, I've built Nextless.js, a full-stack React SaaS Boilerplate Template with all the features mentioned above.
https://nextlessjs.com isn't just another SaaS Boilerplate, I wanted to have something more. As a passionate developer, I built Nextless.js with Developer Experience in mind:
❤️ Type checking with TypeScript
❤️ Linter with ESLint
❤️ Code formatter with Prettier
❤️ Editor configuration for VSCode
❤️ Local development and Debugging session
These are something that you don't see in other SaaS Boilerplates. But, this isn't enough for me, I want to go even further. Nextless.js has been built for production:
🚀 One command deployment for backend
🚀 Infrastructure as code, also deploy in one command
🚀 Highly scalable with Serverless
🚀 Low maintenance: no server maintenance, no Docker, no Kubernetes
Nextless.js also comes up with:
⚡ Code example with a To-da SaaS application
⚡ Documentation
⚡ Code updates
⚡ Email support
With Nextless.js, you don't need a UI/UX designer or an Ops engineer anymore! Concentrate on your own SaaS project as a developer and Nextless.js handles the rest for you!

Open to any feedback about Nextless.js. Don't hesitate to roast my landing page, my copywriting, or this post. I'm here to learn.
I have also one question: Do you see any other features to be added to the next version? Something I didn't think about?
Thank you for your help.
Congrats. This looks like a great kit to start a saas product!
Thank for your message, really appreciate!
Congrats! How are sales going?
Is it tied to a particular hosting provider/CDN/etc?
Thank you for your message!
For the frontend, you can host on various providers: Amplify Hosting, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, etc. all static hosting service.
For the backend, it's tied to AWS with Lambda, API gateway and AWS Cognito.
Cool man, keep up the good work. The more flexible it is to work with different providers the better IMO.
