NextStarter AI is a comprehensive boilerplate that includes everything needed to create SaaS applications and AI tools quickly. It saves developers 37+ hours on common implementation tasks and integrations.
Key areas covered:
Authentication: Google OAuth and Magic Link support via Supabase
Payments: Integration with both Stripe and LemonSqueezy (checkout sessions, webhooks, subscriptions)
Database: Supabase integration for data storage and management
AI Integration: RunPod and Replicate API integrations for AI capabilities
User Interface: App and landing page components including Canvas, Prompt Input, Animated Tabs, Font Selector
SEO & Marketing: SEO tags, Google Analytics, marketing guide with backlink opportunities
Email: Mailgun email integration for notifications and user communication
The boilerplate is designed to help developers focus on building their unique product features rather than spending time on standard infrastructure setup.
JavaScript excels in SaaS development due to its robust ecosystem, strong typing capabilities, and excellent library support. JavaScript boilerplates leverage language-specific features to provide type-safe database queries, efficient API routing, and optimized runtime performance. The language's maturity means you get battle-tested packages for authentication, payment processing, and background jobs that integrate seamlessly.
TypeScript
What makes TypeScript ideal for SaaS development?
TypeScript excels in SaaS development due to its robust ecosystem, strong typing capabilities, and excellent library support. TypeScript boilerplates leverage language-specific features to provide type-safe database queries, efficient API routing, and optimized runtime performance. The language's maturity means you get battle-tested packages for authentication, payment processing, and background jobs that integrate seamlessly.
Next.js
What Next.js-specific architecture patterns are implemented?
Next.js boilerplates leverage the framework's native architecture patterns including its routing system, middleware pipeline, and controller/handler structure. They implement Next.js's conventions for separating concerns, dependency injection, and service layer patterns. The codebase follows Next.js's best practices for organizing models, views/components, and business logic to ensure maintainability as your application grows.
Tailwind CSS
What Tailwind CSS-specific component architecture is used?
Tailwind CSS boilerplates follow the framework's component composition patterns with reusable, atomic design components. They implement Tailwind CSS's best practices for component structure, props handling, event management, and lifecycle methods. The component library includes authentication flows, dashboards, data tables, forms with validation, and navigation—all built with Tailwind CSS's native features like hooks (React), composition API (Vue), or directives (Angular).
Supabase
What Supabase-specific features are leveraged in these boilerplates?
Supabase boilerplates utilize the database's native capabilities including its transaction model (ACID for SQL, eventual consistency for NoSQL), indexing strategies (B-tree, GiST, full-text search), and advanced features like JSON columns, array types, window functions, or document queries. The schema design takes advantage of Supabase's strengths—whether that's PostgreSQL's JSONB, MySQL's full-text search, MongoDB's aggregation pipeline, or Redis's data structures.
Lemon Squeezy
What Lemon Squeezy API features are implemented?
Lemon Squeezy boilerplates implement the provider's complete API suite including checkout sessions, subscription lifecycle management, customer portal, webhook event handling, and invoice generation. They use Lemon Squeezy's latest API version with proper error handling, idempotency keys, and retry logic. The integration includes Lemon Squeezy-specific features like payment intents, setup intents, subscription schedules, and tax calculation APIs.
Stripe
What Stripe API features are implemented?
Stripe boilerplates implement the provider's complete API suite including checkout sessions, subscription lifecycle management, customer portal, webhook event handling, and invoice generation. They use Stripe's latest API version with proper error handling, idempotency keys, and retry logic. The integration includes Stripe-specific features like payment intents, setup intents, subscription schedules, and tax calculation APIs.
JavaScript
What JavaScript-specific tools and libraries are included?
JavaScript boilerplates include the language's most popular and production-proven tools. This typically includes testing frameworks, linters, formatters, build tools, and package managers specific to JavaScript. You'll get pre-configured toolchains that enforce best practices, automated testing pipelines, and development environments optimized for JavaScript development workflows.
TypeScript
What TypeScript-specific tools and libraries are included?
TypeScript boilerplates include the language's most popular and production-proven tools. This typically includes testing frameworks, linters, formatters, build tools, and package managers specific to TypeScript. You'll get pre-configured toolchains that enforce best practices, automated testing pipelines, and development environments optimized for TypeScript development workflows.
Next.js
How does Next.js's ORM/database layer work in these boilerplates?
Next.js boilerplates use the framework's native ORM or query builder (Prisma, Eloquent, Active Record, SQLAlchemy, etc.) with pre-configured models for users, subscriptions, teams, and common SaaS entities. They include optimized queries, relationships, migrations, seeders, and database connection pooling. The implementation leverages Next.js's specific features like eager loading, query scopes, and transaction handling for performance.
Tailwind CSS
How is state management handled in Tailwind CSS boilerplates?
Tailwind CSS boilerplates use the framework's recommended state management approach—whether that's React Context + hooks, Redux Toolkit, Zustand, Pinia (Vue), NgRx (Angular), or Svelte stores. They include pre-configured state slices for authentication, user data, subscriptions, and UI state with proper TypeScript typing. The implementation follows Tailwind CSS's patterns for global state, local component state, and server state synchronization.
Supabase
How is the Supabase schema designed for SaaS applications?
Supabase boilerplates include production-tested schemas for multi-tenancy, user management, subscriptions, and billing. The design follows Supabase's best practices for data modeling—whether that's normalized tables with foreign keys (SQL), embedded documents vs. references (MongoDB), or partition key strategies (DynamoDB). Schemas include proper constraints, default values, and relationship management optimized for Supabase's query engine.
Lemon Squeezy
How are Lemon Squeezy webhooks handled securely?
Lemon Squeezy webhooks are verified using the provider's signature validation to prevent spoofing attacks. The boilerplate includes webhook endpoints with proper Lemon Squeezy signature verification, event type filtering, and idempotent event processing to handle duplicate deliveries. Events are processed asynchronously with retry logic, and the implementation handles Lemon Squeezy's specific webhook events like subscription updates, payment failures, and customer changes.
Stripe
How are Stripe webhooks handled securely?
Stripe webhooks are verified using the provider's signature validation to prevent spoofing attacks. The boilerplate includes webhook endpoints with proper Stripe signature verification, event type filtering, and idempotent event processing to handle duplicate deliveries. Events are processed asynchronously with retry logic, and the implementation handles Stripe's specific webhook events like subscription updates, payment failures, and customer changes.
