I built a Next.js starter so you can skip 120 hours of boilerplate and ship your SaaS on day one

Hey makers,

Every time I started a new SaaS project, the first few weeks always looked the same:

• Set up auth (email + OAuth)

• Wire up email verification and password reset

• Build multi-tenant workspaces and RBAC

• Integrate Stripe and handle webhooks

• Set up file uploads

• Add CI, linting, git hooks, environment validation

• Scaffold tests

None of that is your product.
It’s just the tax you pay before you can start building.

So I built TheShipStack — a production-ready Next.js starter that comes with all of it pre-wired:

What’s included:

• Auth (email/password + Google OAuth + email verification)

• Multi-tenant workspaces with role-based access control

• Stripe billing (subscriptions, webhooks, per-plan limits)

• File uploads (Backblaze B2 in production, MinIO locally)

• Transactional email (Resend + React Email templates)

• Full UI with shadcn/ui + dark mode

• CI pipeline, Vitest unit tests, Playwright E2E

• Docker Compose for local development (Postgres, MinIO, Mailpit)

• Environment validation, git hooks, conventional commits

You clone it, rename a few things, and start building your actual product.

Happy to answer questions about any of the technical decisions.
What are you building?
