    SaaS boilerplate
    Boilerplate to build your SaaS with React and Python (Flask)
    https://github.com/saasforge/open-source-saas-boilerpate
    https://www.saasforge.dev

    1. 2

      how is it open source if you sell it?
      How do you manage the way your customers have access to the code? (curious)

      1. 2

        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.

      2. 2

        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.

        1. 1

          I love this model. Very interesting. Glad to see it's working for you :)

          1. 1

            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

            1. 1

              Hi! This looks cool. Do you keep some features exclusive to the paid version? Or is the open source version fully featured?

              1. 1

                The payment is implemented only for a paid version.

    2. 2

      Looks solid dude 💪😄

    Thanks Brayden for starting this thread. Here is mine:

    • dwata
    • Software for Startup teams to understand, monitor, analyze or manage their own data like Customers, Sales, Shipments, Payments, etc. without knowing SQL, APIs or writing code
    • https://github.com/brainless/dwata

    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.
