Idea

Indie hackers repeat the same setup work (billing, auth, emails, landing pages) for every new SaaS. A template library with pre-built, copy-paste components for common SaaS features lets developers launch in days instead of weeks. Target: solo founders and small teams.

Why this is interesting

The boilerplate fatigue problem is real and has gotten louder as solo founders ship faster cycles — tools like Cursor and v0 have raised the baseline expectation for how quickly an MVP should come together, making week-long setup work feel even more wasteful. The closest incumbent is Shipfast (now Shipfa.st), which has already proven willingness-to-pay in this exact niche and crossed $1M+ in revenue, so the market exists but is not uncrowded. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is realistic for a template library only if it's sold as a one-time or annual license rather than pure subscription, since developers resist recurring fees for static assets. The biggest risk is commoditization: Shipfast, SaaS Pegasus, and a growing pile of GitHub starters mean a new entrant needs a sharp differentiation angle — framework-specific depth, a particular stack, or a strong distribution channel — or it gets ignored.
