What Starter Kits are you using?
Hello all,
I'm working on a list of Starter Kits to share/talk about on One Hour SaaS.
I have a list of about 10 already, stuff like Spark and DivJoy, but I'm sure there are many that I don't know off.
What starter kits are you using, or have explored?
If you haven't already please include my product SaaS Pegasus! I know that Laravel, Rails, and Node are more popular frameworks for Indie Hackers, but we Python/Django lovers need our little space here too! :)
P.S. I have compiled a list of 20+ of these while doing research for Pegasus if you want to hit me up offline. Basically there are a bunch for Rails and the JS ecosystem, and a one or two for most other frameworks. There was a recent IH thread on this here where several were linked.
Hey Cory.
Yep, had Pegasus on my list already, but thanks for sharing and the link to the IH thread!
It is a fantastic project. I had a look at it the other day and I like that you have video documentation for each feature.
I would suggest adding more tutorial. For example, how to add a new app or model and link it with the user registration system.
Thanks! And good idea re: adding a video for the process of adding new apps, etc. Will add to the backlog!
I recently bought Jumpstart Pro by @excid3.
Haven't started using it yet, but as someone who wants to get into Rails I'm pretty excited about it.
💪 I'm excited to hear what you think once you start using it!
Awesome, thank you adding it to the list!
Not a full starter kit, but I've been using Creative Tim's Argon Dashboard with Rails.
Thanks for sharing.
I know some time ago someone shared that they built a few front end starter kits: https://mui.dev and https://tailwind.build - looks like they have a few others on the sites as well. Haven’t used it myself but thought I’d share.
Interesting, thanks!
Hey Mubs, I built an open-source starter kit for Chrome/Firefox extensions: https://github.com/dkthehuman/extension-starter-kit
Awesome thanks!
https://tailwindui.com/ and https://undraw.co/ have both saved me so much time, effort, and money.
Thanks for the reply.
TailwindUI will definitely be on the list.
Hadn't thought about Undraw as a starter kit, but can see how it might! Will think more on that one.
I've been working on ChromeExtensionKit which is a series of Chrome extension starter templates (for various use cases) that I built for myself over time that I turned into a product.
The idea is that it helps you get started instantly on your own extension products since you don't have to worry about the regular time-consuming config / setup.
Thanks, looks great!
I've done enough apps on my own that I use my own template.
Rails-API based backend.
Frontends are Flutter (mobile) and Svelte (web).
Definitely doable, but for people short of time like I was for my one hour saas challenge, getting to market quicker with a starter kit could be a really good idea.
If you've been building stuff long enough, you end up having your own sudo starter kit, but it's interesting to see what the published options are.
