User authentication for saas
Hi everyone, I have identify a potential problem that many developers might have when starting to build a saas. I have a pretty good codebase that handles user registration, password reset and email confirmation when creating an account and I am thinking to sell this as a saas boilerplate. It could easily save you 3-4 weeks of development time. Would you be interested?
The project is using node.js and React.
Give me some feedback if this would be useful for you. Thanks!
I'm not sure it's 3-4 weeks of development time having spun up a few. The other issue is the strong user desire for social logins with google, facebook twitter, etc... The pain point there is using passport or similar packages, you still need to have dev accounts and keys for each app, so it's hard to outsource this. I know Nylas has tried to commoditize this api-as-a-service, but they're pricey and ultimately don't really save a ton of time over building yourself.
Now, if you could become the paddle.com of user management, taking all of that off a developer's hands (especially no or low code founders who are looking to quickly test an idea) it could be cool. Of course then your real product would be analytics since you'd be the first hop for all of the different products using your boilerplate.
Interesting idea :)
