What does it take to build a SaaS
Hey friends,
I have just released version 2 of my SaaS starter kit https://supastarter.dev and what better place to ask for feedback and ideas to optimize it than a community full of amazing founders and indie hackers!
Currently the starter kit offers the following features:
- Authentication & Multi-tenancy
- I18n
- Database & API Layer
- Billing & payments
- Mailing
What I would like to know is what it takes for you to build a SaaS and what features are missing in here or how I can optimize the starter kit, so that it would be more fitting for your case.
Looking forward to your feedback!
When you can't build a successful saas, sell shovels instead!
Hey Jonathan,
I'm planning to build a project that's kinda similar to supastarter[1], and I found myself referencing this video on what services / features are needed in a SaaS, you can check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbiHPHT1FQs&t=2s
P.S. It's my first time hearing of supastarter, you just got yourself a new follower :). And congrats on the v2 launch.

Thanks, that means a lot!
And also thank your for sharing the video, will have a look into that!
Well done Jonathan, I have always been a fan of supastarter
Thanks Foluhash! Any feedback on the stack?
Jonathan -- This is pretty impressive. I'm not altogether sure I see what the business model is... There's a free tier that uses the free tiers of the three major infrastructure pieces you're using, but above that tier do you also charge or what? In any case, your template certainly has the right primary pieces, auth, payment, etc.
supastarter is a one-time purchase and it basically gives you the starting point for your SaaS.
