Hey all! Excited to share! I built SlimSaaS, a full stack, SaaS-featured Django + React starter kit. Motivation: Boilerplates today try to differentiate themselves by piling on more features than the next guy. The result is hundreds of features that need to be deleted or configured before launch, making it harder to build with a kit than without. I wanted to change that and built a starter kit that prioritizes a few things: 1) Performance First. At launch, the kit ranks 99/100 on page insights. We did this by building a completely custom Astro static site for the landing page and a markdown blog to maximize SEO. 2) User Experience: The Astro site and React spa are built entirely with DaisyUI/Tailwind to allow you to leverage 32 themes out of the box (check it on in the nav). We prioritized reducing friction with payment and registration flows as much as possible. Clear error handling, and creating a consistent and cohesive experience across the site. 3) Your Experience: Out of the box, SlimSaaS leverages docker to set everything up including things like reverse proxies to keep everything on one domain, Automatic SSL during deployment with Let's Encrypt, a full documentation site, and MailCatcher to send mail on localhost without having to set up your email configrations (for dev). And easily deployable on a $10 VPS, no better way to quit a project than a $300/mo infra just to test PMF. All you need to do is copy the .env file and "docker compose up" to start. Thanks for taking the time to check it out. And please reach out if you want to connect!

@akdevelop Hey man! Congrats! Do you have an affilaite program? And do you have an X Account I can contact you? Would love to feature your boilerplate on BoilerplateHub.

Kudos to @akdevelop for creating SlimSaaS! πŸš€ A performance-first approach is exactly what we need in the SaaS space. Love the focus on UX and the simplicity with Docker for deployment. Can’t wait to give this a spin and see those 99/100 scores in action! Upvote all the way!
