A Next.js boilerplate with Supabase, TailwindCSS and Stripe
I created SupaNexTail because I was tired of doing the same thing over and over every time I started a new project. I had the same stack and wanted to build something that will save me a lot of time.
Creating a website can be complicated, maintaining a website is even more so!
Why switch from a paid to a free model? I think SupaNexTail was interesting a few months ago, but more and more boilerplate, more complete, more professional, are available. I don't have time to maintain it properly anymore and I prefer to focus on other projects.
But I think it can still be useful for some people, that's why I prefer to open the repo to everyone!
I've been wanting to integrate this into SupaNexTail for a long time but it's done, a blog system is now provided to users!
I see more and more SaaS keep a blog, it allows to stay close to its customers but also to improve its SEO.
The system is very simple, it is a blog without CMS, working with markdown and MDX. This allows a great ease of writing, everything is very fast because generated during the build, and with the mdx support you can easily use React components within the markdown files.
I did 3 sales in december for http://supanextail.dev. It was the best month I've had in my indiehacker life ๐
I had several sites running with affiliate links, and I made at most 200โฌ/M.
Selling your own product, at a higher price, allows you to reach your goals with few customers ๐ฐ
The idea for me is to keep that in mind for 2022!
4 months of work and SupaNexTail is now available!
It was a really interesting experience and in the end I am very satisfied to have done this, even if I don't make any sales!
I started SupaNexTail for my personal use first, and it is a great help to start a project quickly. I've often left out ideas because the basic setup was very expensive.
SupaNexTail makes this first step effortless.
I can't wait to use it in practice and start other projects!
I hesitated for a long time, I even started the work 2 weeks ago before abandoning it, but this time it's the good one, I convert my Javascript project into Typescript.
For SupaNexTail, it's the right thing to do, but as a solo webdev, having only worked on small projects, it's very hard to see the use of Typescript.
So I hope to change my mind along the way of the migration ๐
And you, have you taken the plunge? How was the transition to Typescript?
Still polishing the release for SupaNexTail. The beta brought several good ideas and I want to incorporate them before the launch!
Among these improvements, the design of the site has greatly changed and is a bit more modern than the old version.
Do not hesitate to give me your opinion!
I think I'm almost there!
The main idea was to allow everyone to create the basis of a SaaS in less than half a day.
After weeks of work I think the mission is accomplished for the chosen tech stack (Next.js / Supabase / TailwindCSS / Stripe).
I'm still looking for one or two beta testers, if you are interested, send me a message! I think I'll launch SupaNexTail before the end of August. Beta testers will have lifetime access to the repo.
SupaNexTail is making good progress!
Since the launch of the homepage, here are the functional elements:
I'm working on the Stripe integration and once this is done, SupaNexTail will officially go to version 1.0!
Well, maybe not the ultimate, but my ideal boilerplate!
I was tired of doing the same thing over and over when I started a new project and I wanted to build my own boilerplate a long time ago.
So I created SupaNexTail!
Authentication system, payment system, database, css, I don't want to forget anything for what I consider to be the foundation of a successful project.
So I chose several technologies on which I base my projects for some time now.
Supabase for the authentication system and the database. It is for me an evidence for some months and they improve day by day.
Stripe for the payment system, attached to Supabase, and you have a perfect subscription system for your Saas.
TailwindCSS with DaisyUI for the interface design. I haven't found a better solution yet and it's what saves me the most time.
All this will be configured and you can easily plug it in by changing some environment variables.
As a bonus, the site is fully responsive, has a dark theme, a functional dashboard for the user, and 5 pages already designed (landing page, contact, dashboard, pricing, login).
I started SupaNexTail at the beginning of the week so I still have some work to do on it, but I hope to sell it quickly!
I have a question for the IH community, how much would you be willing to buy a template like this? I was thinking about 50โฌ but considering the price of a simple template without backend management, I wonder if it wouldn't be worth more...
