Hey Product Hunt! I’m one of the co-founders of AppStarter.co — thanks for checking us out. We built AppStarter after repeatedly running into the same problem: every new app or SaaS idea started with too much setup and too little momentum. So instead of reinventing the wheel each time, we created production-ready app starters and templates that help founders and developers: launch faster 🚀 follow best practices out of the box focus on building features, not boilerplate Our goal is simple: help you go from idea → real product with confidence. We’d genuinely love your feedback: What do you usually struggle with most when starting a new app? What stack or features would you want to see next? Anything missing or confusing? We’ll be in the comments all day — thanks again for the support and for being such an amazing community 🙏

there are so many templates out there already, what is your difference from others?

@peter_v_v Thank you for your question. It is a very valid question, and I am sure lots of people have the similar/same question. :)

Unlike frontend templates that stop at UI, AppStarter gives you authentication, backend integration, and a scalable app architecture — so you can launch a real product, not just a prototype.

Key Differences vs Other Frontend Templates

1. Full-stack foundation (not just UI)

AppStarter

  • Includes authentication, authorization, user management

  • Backend + frontend wiring already done

  • Opinionated app structure for real products

Most frontend templates

  • UI only (pages, components, dashboards)

  • No real auth, no data model, no business logic

  • You still spend weeks “making it real”

👉 Big difference: AppStarter is closer to “clone → customize → launch”, not “design → rebuild everything”.

2. Product-first, not marketing-first

AppStarter

  • Built for SaaS / internal tools / real apps

  • Focus on workflows, roles, data, permissions

  • Less “demo fluff,” more production logic

Landing-page or admin templates

  • Optimized for visual polish

  • Great for screenshots, weak for real-world flows

  • Often break down once requirements get complex

👉 AppStarter optimizes for engineering velocity, not Dribbble aesthetics.

3. Opinionated architecture

AppStarter

  • Clear conventions for:

    • App structure

    • Auth flows

    • Feature boundaries

  • Reduces decision fatigue for teams

Typical starters

  • Either too bare (“just React + Vite”)

  • Or too bloated (500+ pages, impossible to refactor)

👉 This makes AppStarter attractive to teams, not just solo hackers.

4. Designed for iteration, not throwaway code

AppStarter

  • Built to evolve with:

    • New features

    • New roles

    • New business models

    • Encourages long-term maintainability

UI templates

  • Often become technical debt after one month

  • Hard to extend without rewriting core pieces

Who AppStarter Is Best For

  • SaaS founders who want to launch fast but correctly

  • Product teams who hate rebuilding auth every project

  • Startups tired of “template that becomes a rewrite”

  • Teams that want consistency across apps

Who It’s NOT For

  • Static landing pages

  • Designers looking only for UI kits

  • One-off marketing sites

In summary, AppStarter is a production-ready application foundation, not a frontend template—so teams can ship real products faster, not just screens.

Hope that answers your question! Thanks again!
