This starter exists to give learners and indie hackers a real, working reference for how a modern SaaS app fits together — auth, Stripe billing, multi-tenancy, and email, wired end-to-end on Next.js. Rather than leaving email as an afterthought, it uses Mailtrap to handle sending, so transactional messages actually land reliably from day one. It's blank-slate scaffolding, not a finished product: clone it, drop in your own logic, and you're shipping within the hour.
One thing that would make this even more useful is a built-in example of webhook handling for Stripe events, like subscription cancellations or payment failures. A lot of people get stuck wiring that up correctly, and seeing it done well in the same starter would save hours of debugging.
honestly this looks super useful for people like me just getting into saas stuff, the mailtrap integration being baked in from the start is genuinely smart. one thing i'd love to see added is a basic audit log table for the multi-tenant setup, basically tracking which user did what across tenants so debugging permission issues becomes way less painful. would save a ton of headaches down the line.
Solid pick for anyone trying to see how all the SaaS pieces actually fit together. One thing that would make this even more useful: add a tiny example showing how to swap in a different email provider (like Resend or Postmark) alongside Mailtrap, just so people can see how cleanly the abstraction is designed. Would help a lot of us evaluating it before committing.
Cloned it yesterday and was sending real auth emails within 20 minutes, the multi-tenant routing is cleaner than most paid starters I've poked at.
