Next.js SaaS Starter Kit

Visit Website
August 31, 2026 I got tired of rebuilding Auth and Billing for every side project, so I built a production-ready Next.js 14 boilerplate.

Hey everyone,

Whenever I start a new SaaS idea, I always lose my momentum because I have to spend the first two weeks configuring NextAuth, hooking up a database, designing a nice UI with Tailwind, and testing Stripe webhooks. It kills the excitement.

I finally decided to build the ultimate starter kit so I never have to do it again. I call it SaaSForge.

I focused heavily on modern architecture and developer experience. Here is the stack I used:

  • Next.js 14 (Strictly App Router & Server Components)

  • Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui for components

  • Framer Motion for premium UI interactions

  • Prisma ORM

  • Full Stripe subscription integration

You can check out the live demo here to feel the UI for yourself: 👉 [https://project-b63ht.vercel.app/] You can use this credential to sign in:

I also wrote up a complete breakdown of the architecture, the folder structure, and how it all connects in the documentation repository here: 👉 [https://github.com/TrustedTerminal/nextjs-saas-boilerplate]

I'd love to know what you guys think of the tech stack and if there are any other tools you consider "must-haves" for a modern Next.js boilerplate!

    The zero signups are actually less interesting than the one conversation that changed your hypothesis. I’d be careful not to treat that single migration pain as the ICP yet — curious whether you’re going to test it across several founders actively switching MoRs before narrowing ReStay around it.
