There is absolutely a market for this kind of product. If it saves someone a few days of work, the ROI is clear.

However, in my experience (have a similar product geared towards API backends: https://apibakery.com), many developers will stop at "boilerplate", think "cookiecutter", and balk away.

The most vocal complaints for me were:

- it's just boilerplate, therefore how dare you charge

- I can do that in an hour (all devs are optimists :)

- why should I pay a recurring fee for a one-off use (valid, and made me rethink my pricing strategy)

Ultimately, I suspect your users will mainly be founders who just want to get the ball rolling as quickly as possible. If you haven't already, engage with communities such as IndieHackers and r/SaaS.

Good luck!
