Wouldn't it be great to just:

   import authentication
   import authorisation
   import admin-dashboard
   import payments
   import backups
   import marketplace-ecommerce-frontend
   import email-provider
   import job-queue
   import database
   import ./mysaasmodel
   import analytics
   import omnichannel-notifications # email, web chat, post, notifications
   import code-hosting
   import business-rule-engine
   import subscriptions
   import landing-page
   import blog
   import government-tax-reporting
   import accounting
   import business-registration
   import business-banking
   import pricing-page
   import newsletter
   import server-vendor
   import product-database
   import enterprise-resource-planning
   import website
   import mobile-application

And everything just ties itself together. You could wrap each service on a market exchange and they could all talk, negotiate on an event bus.

EDIT: Integration and costs are painful, if I could do things based on "rates", rates could scale? Sorry to hijack your announcement, just a thought about SaaS kits, I always worry about their sustainability and maintenance into the future. It would be good if computing had some stable foundations. (The nobody got fired for picking X)

I guess i am only 20% there with authentication/authorization/rest/db :(

Wouldn't that be much overhead? I was thinking just having a CLI where you'd choose the things you want, and the boilerplate gets scaffolded automatically with those.

The frontend js ecosystem has dead code elimination, so when it’s built, only what you actually called comes along.

+153, I love being able to use regular English spelling instead of being pushed into using US spelling.

[mixmastamyk]

Little known fact but almost all “US spelling” came from Britain or was derived more directly from Greek (s/z). Also some incursions from French were dropped. Further, it was the British that changed during the 18/19th century in accent and spelling, around the decline of the British Empire.

So avoiding the differences on purity grounds is not particularly logical.

Not forgetting Noah Webster - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webster%27s_Dictionary#Noah_We...

[mixmastamyk]

Indeed, from that paragraph:

"He was very influential in popularizing certain spellings in America, but he did not originate them."
