I need your thoughts on SaaS Boilerplates
1 points by kaperskyguru 779 days ago
Initially, boilerplates were free and were called scaffolding; things like create-react-app were trendy back then.

However, we have seen major successes in the boilerplate market, and it’s tempting to enter it.

Because of these, I decided to go deeper into understanding why startup founders should use SaaS boilerplates.

Here are my top reasons:

- Speed - Cost-effectiveness - Standardization and Best Practices - Flexibility and customization

I also detailed when to use boilerplates for your startup and when not to use them.

I created a blog post around it that covers it in much detail.

Here’s the link: https://boilerplatesearch.com/blog/why-you-need-a-boilerplate-for-your-next-saas-project

I’m still exploring further on this subject. Let me know if you have anything to add.
