MEAN Stack with Taiga-UI Boilerplate - Skip 40 hours of setup. The ultimate Angular 21 starter kit.

👋 Hey Product Hunt! Ricardo here, the maker of the MEAN Stack Taiga Boilerplate. A few months ago, I built a custom web app for a local tree service to barter for some landscaping work at my house (because removing trees is expensive!). The app came out great, but I realized I spent the entire first week just writing the exact same boring backend code I always write: configuring MongoDB, setting up secure HttpOnly JWT auth to prevent XSS, wiring up Google OAuth, and fighting with Docker Compose files. I wanted to just write business logic on day one, so I stripped that app down to the studs and built the ultimate "Start Here" commercial-grade boilerplate for the MEAN stack (Angular 21 + Node/Express). What's inside: 🔐 Production-ready Auth flow (Access + Refresh cookies) 👥 Role-Based Access Guards (User vs. Admin dashboards) 🌍 Dynamic i18n Language Switcher built-in 🐳 Full Dev & Prod Docker parity (Nginx ready) 🎨 Beautiful Taiga UI components using Angular 21 Signals I packaged it up for any dev or indie hacker who wants to skip the first 40 hours of a new SaaS project and just start shipping features. I'd love to hear your feedback on the architecture, the Docker setup, or how you handle auth in your own stacks! Happy to answer any questions below. Cheers! 🍻
