Hey everyone! Brayden here :)
I love seeing open source projects made by IndieHackers. They're so inspiring and always give me new ideas for what I could work on.
Post you open source project that includes:
Upvote and comment on your favorite ones that you see.
Can't wait to see what you all have in store! 👏
SaaS boilerplate
Boilerplate to build your SaaS with React and Python (Flask)
https://github.com/saasforge/open-source-saas-boilerpate
https://www.saasforge.dev
how is it open source if you sell it?
How do you manage the way your customers have access to the code? (curious)
This might be obscure—but open source doesn’t necessarily mean free as in free beer. You can sell open source code (there’s actually a lot of WordPress plugins that are open source, for instance).
Dual licensing is a whole strategy around having open source code but selling licenses. (Some purists aren’t fans of dual licensing).
This model is known as Open Core, where there’s a second version that is closed source with additional features.
I have 2 versions of the boilerplate: open-source and a paid one. I sell the second one. I added the link to the Github repo to my comment.
To have access to the code, user registers, pays, and goes to the dashboard to add his/her github username and get access to the private Github repo. It's very convenient because you can extend the code as much as you want and grab all the updates, and merge them easily. It was not even possible before Git.
I love this model. Very interesting. Glad to see it's working for you :)
It's working, the only problem is I currently don't do anything to develop and market it, too many more interesting things and projects around :-0
Hi! This looks cool. Do you keep some features exclusive to the paid version? Or is the open source version fully featured?
The payment is implemented only for a paid version.
Looks solid dude 💪😄
Thanks!
Awesome! The landing page looks sleek ✨
Thank you!

I don't include any designs at the moment, but sounds like a cool idea!
Do you have an open source HTML themes that you'd be willing to contribute? I'd be happy do the coding to integrate them into the boilerplate.

Thanks Brayden for starting this thread. Here is mine:
This is non-trivial software and it is only growing as I talk to more early adopters. It's hosted on-premise and there is a subscription for the license. There are a growing number of moving parts (SQLite for internal features, Redis, Search server, RabbitMQ soon) so I feel most business will be happy to pay license and let my deployment automation take care of installs/backups and updates.
Yeah no problem! Thanks for sharing!
