Production-ready SaaS scaffold in 5 minutes is huge for developers who want to skip boilerplate and focus on building. Getting auth, billing, and infra set up instantly is a real time saver.
@chaudharyarun5797 thanks for the visit!
I built SaaS Init because repeating the same setup for every new SaaS is exhausting. One command: npx saas-init my-app And you get: ā Next.js 15 ā Auth (Clerk/NextAuth) ā Stripe payments ā PostgreSQ
@hello3162 Can I get Next.js 16 instead?
@gregory5997 for sure, the update is coming, also will be possible to select between n15 vs n16
@gregory5997 new version is live with n16 support!
