Startupbolt's answer:

It is a Next.js boilerplate that can be used to launch SaaS products fast. With StartupBolt, you can avoid the usual roadblocks like payment integration, authentication, and landing page design, which often prevent entrepreneurs from ever launching. Focus on what truly matters — your core product — while we handle the rest. With StartupBolt, you can launch fast—even in 30 minutes if your business logic is ready.

Boring Database's answer

There are plenty of saas boilerplates out there, but none designed to make it easy to launch a Data-as-a-service business.

You don't have to worry about setting up data-tables, filtering, sorting, csv export or uploading your dataset. That is all handled for you!

Startupbolt's answer:

I’ve built it while addressing many of the flaws in existing boilerplates:
- Almost all components are server components, while our competitors often use client components, which add to the JS bundle size and slow the website.
- It has a credit system to give access to products rather than a single boolean provided by our competitors. This means you can use it to create AI apps—for example, if a person pays $100, you can give them 1000 credits, which can be reduced as they use AI features (like API calls to Replicate, OpenAI, or your custom AI pipeline).
- It has native implementation for Meta Ads (conversion API and pixel with deduplication), X Ads, Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Clarity.
- StartupBolt comes with shadcn for theming, which is the current benchmark for Next.js app developers.

Boring Database's answer

I started Boring Database because I needed an easy way to launch these data-as-a-service business ideas quickly without repeating myself everytime! I'm sitting on a list of over 20 ideas that I would love to build and boring database is going to make that super easy!

Startupbolt's answer:

I graduated from IIT (the same college as Sundar Pichai) and dove into startups in 2014.

Over the years, I launched multiple web apps, each taking over a year, and when they failed, it hurt. But I didn't give up. After years of building apps that took too long and didn't work out, I figured things out.

Since 2017, I've generated over $4 million in revenue, consistently hitting $2,000 daily. I ran a lot of ads for my products. The key lesson? Launch quickly and get profitable fast.

I built StartupBolt to solve a problem I kept facing: repeating the same code and processes for each new project.

With StartupBolt, you can: 1. Launch fast - even in 30 minutes if your business logic is ready. 2. Start simple and iterate based on real user feedback. 3. Avoid common technical pitfalls that slow down most founders.

It's the tool I use for all my launches now, and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

I chose Remix as the application framework. For newcomers I believe Remix has the simplest mental model for understanding complex server logic. Boring database is setup so you only have to make small code changes for content and copywriting. However if you decide to make bigger changes, the way Remix lays out server and client logic will make it simple for you understand.

Stripe is used for payments. Resend and React Email for transactional emails (although react-email make this very easy to swap with another provider, mailgun, postmark etc...)
