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.

August 4, 2022 SupaNexTail is now free and open source

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!

January 19, 2022 Add a blog system to the boilerplate

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.

January 12, 2022 SupaNexTail first sales

I did 3 sales in december for http://supanextail.dev. It was the best month I've had in my indiehacker life ๐Ÿš€

I had several sites running with affiliate links, and I made at most 200โ‚ฌ/M.
Selling your own product, at a higher price, allows you to reach your goals with few customers ๐Ÿ’ฐ

The idea for me is to keep that in mind for 2022!

October 16, 2021 SupaNexTail is now available!

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!

August 11, 2021 Forcing myself to move to Typescript ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

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 ๐Ÿ˜Š

And you, have you taken the plunge? How was the transition to Typescript?

July 26, 2021 New design for SupaNexTail

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!

July 12, 2021 SupaNexTail - Closed beta ๐ŸŽ‰

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.

June 25, 2021 SupaNexTail 0.5 is up, v1 soon!

SupaNexTail is making good progress!

Since the launch of the homepage, here are the functional elements:

  • Auth and user management with Supabase
  • 7 fully designed pages (Landing page / Contact / Pricing / Dashboard / Login / Privacy Policy / Terms of service)
  • Dark theme

I'm working on the Stripe integration and once this is done, SupaNexTail will officially go to version 1.0!

June 22, 2021 I created SupaNexTail, the ultimate boilerplate

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 50โ‚ฌ but considering the price of a simple template without backend management, I wonder if it wouldn't be worth more...
