About ShipFast
ShipFast is a Next.js boilerplate built to help indie developers and founders launch a new SaaS product in days instead of weeks, by providing all of the repetitive infrastructure every new SaaS product needs already wired together, including authentication, subscription payments, a database connection, transactional email, and basic SEO setup, so a developer can start building their actual product's unique features on day one instead of rebuilding the same foundational plumbing from scratch for the third or fourth side project in a row. The boilerplate comes pre-configured with a payment processor for handling one-time payments and subscriptions, including webhook handling for events like a successful charge or a canceled subscription, which is usually one of the more error-prone and time-consuming pieces of infrastructure to get right when building it manually for the first time. Authentication is set up with common login methods ready to go out of the box, and the codebase includes example UI components and page templates for common SaaS pages like pricing, a landing page, and a dashboard, giving a starting visual foundation rather than an empty project. Because it's a one-time purchase of a codebase rather than an ongoing hosted service, developers own the code outright and can modify it freely without an ongoing per-seat or subscription cost tied to the boilerplate itself. ShipFast is aimed at solo developers and small teams who want to minimize the time between having an idea and having a live, payment-accepting product.
