Can someone explain to me why there are _SO_ many boiler plate projects being created in the last year? Why do you need 300 different boiler plates? I use one that I know very well and can build quickly in.

Like holy shit, Reddit is a cesspool of "SaaS boilerplates". It's like some influencer made a viral side hustle "Heres how I make $349,000 a day doing boilerplate side hustle".

Theres already great OSS options, I've been in love with https://github.com/CriticalMoments/CMSaasStarter but theres many for Vue and React as well.

I think boilerplates are a great way to get projects started. The issue for me was that a lot of them don't always have my preferred tech stack. ShipKit is designed to give you more options. It lets you mix and match the technologies to create right boilerplate for your project.
