October 17, 2023 Added Usage-Based Billing

Last week, I shipped usage-based billing with Stripe to my SaaS boilerplate.

Each time I ship a new feature, I write a blog post but I'm trying to make it less salesy and add value for people who are not customers.

October 3, 2023 Added Dark Mode To My SaaS Boilerplate

Dark mode is reported to increase MRR by over 300% and reduce churn to 0%.

Just kidding.

However, you probably still want to add dark mode to your app to avoid blinding users at night.

I wrote a tutorial on how to add dark mode to a React app, or if that's too much work - Gravity now ships with dark mode included.

September 14, 2023 Reached 500 Customers

Crossed the 500 customer milestone for my SaaS boilerplate.

I've sold to customers in 44 countries which is an exciting metric for me. I'm just one guy working solo without any funding, employees or fixed location.

Super excited about the next 500 ๐Ÿš€

June 20, 2023 Added a Next.js Website Template To My SaaS Boilerplate

I recently implemented an interactive product roadmap to Gravity that empowers customers to have a voice and vote on new feature ideas.

One of the most popular suggestions was to decouple the website pages into a separate app.

Previously the web app boilerplate had some page templates bundled with the following pages:

/
/pricing
/terms
/privacy
/contact

The downside of bundling these in the web application (built with Create React App) is the reduced SEO performance. Also, it's a bad idea to keep the website and app running together (you don't want to ship an update to the landing page and take the app offline).

Now the website pages are decoupled into a separate Next.js app. It can be hosted separately and also provides better SEO performance.

The landing page template is viewable at https://demo.usegravity.app

May 17, 2023 How Gravity Helped a Customer Defend Against 300 Fake Accounts & Stolen Cards

Recently, one of my customers' products โ€“ CodeTutor (https://codetutor.ai) โ€“ began to take off and attract attention.

Attention isn't always good โ€“ one bad actor spammed her product with over 300 fake accounts and 30 fraudulent charges with stolen credit cards, prompting concerned emails from Stripe.

"Honestly, I was freaking out! it was so stressful seeing the notifications and worrying Stripe was going to freeze my account."

A similar situation happened to me years ago at my previous startup and almost cost us $18,000! So ensuring Gravity is secure has always been a top priority for me.

Fortunately, email verification was top of the list on the new feature voting roadmap I implemented for Gravity, and I shipped the feature just as Randall was having this issue.

She pulled the changes from the Gravity repo and, within minutes, ended the fake accounts and fraudulent charges.

April 12, 2023 Added Generative AI Image and Text To My SaaS Boilerplate

Never one to miss a hype opportunity, I'm riding the latest AI wave by adding AI support to my SaaS boilerplate ๐Ÿš€

I'm excited to announce that Gravity now ships with ChatGPT and Dall-E support out of the box to give anyone building an AI product a head start.

February 15, 2023 Launched 'How To Build a SaaS Product' Course

I first pre-launched the course in June to validate the idea and made $23k sales in the first month.

Now the course is complete with 25 hours of video content that detail how to build a SaaS product from scratch.

The example product is an Instagram-style photo sharing app that includes everything from authentication, subscription payments, file uploads and storage, security and lots more.

You can find out more, see the full curriculum and sample the course below.
