nextjs/saas-starter

This is a starter template for building a SaaS application, a software-as-a-service product where users sign up, pay a subscription fee, and access your web app. Rather than building from scratch, you clone this template and start with the foundational pieces already wired together. Out of the box, it includes a marketing landing page, a pricing page connected to Stripe (the payment processing service), and a dashboard for logged-in users. It handles user authentication with email and password, manages subscription payments and billing through Stripe's customer portal, and supports basic team roles (Owner and Member). There is also an activity log that records user events. The tech stack is Next.js (a popular framework for building web apps) on the frontend, PostgreSQL as the database (a standard database system), Drizzle as the ORM (a tool that lets you interact with the database using code instead of raw database queries), and shadcn/ui for the visual interface components. Payments are handled by Stripe. Getting started involves cloning the repository, running a setup script that creates the configuration file, migrating the database (setting up the tables), and starting the development server. The README walks through testing payments with Stripe test card numbers and deploying to Vercel (a hosting platform) for production. This is aimed at developers who want to launch a subscription web product quickly without spending weeks on boilerplate infrastructure.
