I am going to open source my SAAS and offer the source code for FREE
The tech stack is node.js, mysql, ejs, hugo static generator (for the blog) and a bootstrap theme I purchased from themeforest. It has your standard features, login, registration, password reset, email confirmation, authenticated protected routes, "wiring up the theme", form validation, a clean data access layer using plain SQL (no magic code anywhere).
You can see it up and running at https://staticIP.io This will save you a few months of grunt work.
Please indicate your interest below and I will post the repository url here on indie hackers in the next few days.
That would be awesome, and honestly something I would be willing to help maintain.
Will you be able to open source the theme though? That might not be supported by the license.
That would be amazing. It would help many people learn.
Hi Geoffrey
I'm cofounder of Budibase and we are in the same industry. We're also open source and I've looked into it a lot. From our perspective, we are having to build all our themes from the ground up.
I'm positive you can't open source another person's theme (unless the license stipulates you can).
By giving it away for free you are potentially stealing that persons income/hard work.
I'm not trying to be an ass about it, I'm just looking out for the licensee.

He would need to study the license agreement around modification and redistribution. I'm sure if he makes modifications it will be fine, but from his post, I didn't get that.
This would be my direction in this use case.

I would really love to see it. I have been working on mine for a few months while building my first product, and it would be incredibly helpful to see another one in action :D
Also props to you for doing this! since as you say this is literally months of grunt work. I will release mine too as soon as its ready in a few weeks.
Yes! It would even be a good resource to reference when implementing similar features. I recently spent a few months doing that grunt work...
