It's not a secret that people have been making a _ton_ of money off SaaS boilerplates. This isn't a bad thing. They've put together a time saving product, and as such - should be able to demand a premium for it. However - I think there's probably value in walking through the process of creating a SaaS product, against a readily available **open source** SaaS boilerplate. Disclaimer: This is going to be _a lot_ of content. It's not likely that this is something you can read in one sitting. It will be a mix of principles, tactical guides and code snippets. Principals: - Whenever possible, we will depend minimally on external tools that have associated monthly subscription costs i.e. we will use free tiers and open source where possible. - We will minimise the cognitive load for the implementer, by providing useful abstractions, or at the very least - starting points for them customising the project. - The project should be LLM-ready. Note to self: What does this mean?
