• Launchpad to quickly start a SaaS business?

  Hey, thanks for the mention! I'm the creator of Nodewood, and I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has on it, or really anything else in the space I can help with. Source: over 1 year ago

• Build Your Own Web Framework

  This is largely why I built Nodewood [1]. Every time I wanted to start a new project, almost always a SaaS idea, I'd skip over the "boring stuff" like building user management, subscription management, teams, admin, all that, to get to the meat of the business logic, to make sure I had a valid idea. But I still needed all that stuff eventually, so I'd have to lose time later building it all in! So I decided to... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Fresh is a new full stack web framework for Deno

  This is actually part of why I created Nodewood [1], because every new Node project required pulling all that together, and every new SaaS idea I had had the same basic requirements (user management, subscription management, teams support, etc). Then I figured, if I found this useful, surely others would too, so I packaged it up and have had a few happy customers since then, who have helped me refine it, which... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Side projects that are making money, but you'd not talk about them?

  Well, I've spoken about this before, and on here no less, but only really in response to posts like this. I don't do any advertising or speak about mine except in interviews, since it's usually indicative of the kind of requirements they're looking for. I created a SaaS bootstrap for Javascript called Nodewood [1]. It actually started as just a template for me, because there's a lot of setup for each new JS web... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Best SaaS Boilerplate?

  Disclaimer: I'm the author of the following boilerplate. Nodewood (https://nodewood.com/) is a Javascript SaaS boilerplate built to take advantage of using Javascript on the server and in the UI. Models, Validators, and other business logic can be re-used in both builds, so you don't have to write, rewrite, and maintain that logic in both places, or in different languages. It has built-in subscription management... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Easiest way to build a CRUD app

  I specifically wrote a starter kit/framework to solve this problem -- at least for me, and hopefully for others: https://nodewood.com/ Since you'll be running JavaScript in the browser, it also uses Node.js for the backend. This allows you to use the same code for validation, business logic, etc, and it specifically has multiple patterns to encourage this. It's all one bundle that you run locally (or on one... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs

  I mean, this is why I wrote Nodewood: https://nodewood.com/ I strongly prefer the explicit nature of JS programming, where you don't have to know a bunch of Rails-y magic to know where a certain symbol is coming from, it's just defined in the file you're working in (to pick one example). But I completely agree that the time from Start to CRUD in Rails is a killer app. I keep kicking up new projects in my spare... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2022 – Show and tell

  I make Nodewood: https://nodewood.com/ It's a SaaS starter kit/boilerplate written in Node.js and Vue 3. Made almost _exactly_ $500/month last year. Would have/should have made more with proper marketing, but I've been doing probably too much engineering instead. The next release should be the one to take it out of "beta" (honestly, an arbitrarily-chosen label, especially compared to some competitors with fewer... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2021 – Show and tell

  I made Nodewood (https://nodewood.com/), a SaaS starter kit/boilerplate. An unlimited-app license is around $500, so a single sale a month puts me into this territory. It could probably be higher, if I were any better and/or more persistent about marketing, but right now I'm focusing on the last two releases I have scheduled on the roadmap before releasing "1.0" (easy scripting and an easy deploy system), then... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• What would be your choice for setting up a new SaaS project for 2022?

  Okay, well, I'm biased because I literally make a SaaS starter kit/boilerplate based on Node.js and Vue called Nodewood: https://nodewood.com/ I built it from Node.js and Vue because I knew them very well and found that they made it very easy to do the kind of work I wanted to. Even still, there was still a lot of extra stuff I had to set up each time, like the basic scaffolding, user authentication, subscription... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What's the best SaaS starter kit?

  So, if you're pretty open for the language, I'd love to recommend checking out Nodewood (https://nodewood.com/, disclaimer, I'm the creator). One big peeve I have of working on apps is that frequently, the backend and frontend are in different languages requiring different libraries and code for common business logic. Nodewood specifically tries to minimize this by using JavaScript for both, and even doing things... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What's the best SaaS starter kit?

  Hi, author of Nodewood (https://nodewood.com/) here! Thanks for bringing it up! I'm actually in the middle of a pretty big revision of Nodewood from Vue 2 to 3 (you would not believe the number of packages that were abandoned at Vue 2 and never updated to 3, it's like Python 2->3 all over again), but then I'm planning on doing another big blitz with it. I'd hope you come and check it back out again when that goes... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• What's the best SaaS starter kit?

  For price & ease of use, https://divjoy.com/ would probably be where I'd start. The community and support are great. https://nodewood.com/ Is another option that I've come across. I've seen usegravity previously but the price is outrageous. As a developer I don't want to pay that much of a premium for stuff I could do myself. Saving a little bit of time, sure. But not at that price. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Deploying Nodewood

  I recently deployed a vanilla instance of Nodewood, a JavaScript SaaS Starter Kit, to the cloud. I picked Render.com but this might help with other platforms (PaaS). - Source: dev.to / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

  I've settled into a stack that I like for building web apps with Node/Express on the back-end and Vue on the front-end. However, I still ended up re-implementing common things every time, like build automation, my Docker setup, user authentication, payments, all that basic stuff. So instead of writing all that custom each time, I wrote a SaaS starter kit to build from, and decided to polish it up and also release... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• Ask HN: What novel tools are you using to write web sites/apps?

  I really enjoy NodeJS/Vue for web apps, but I got sick of having to connect together all the packages from scratch each time, set up ESLint, testing, database connections, write the user auth/management, all that common stuff. So instead, I put together a boilerplate with all my common practices and basic app features: Nodewood (https://nodewood.com). I figure, it ultimately saves me time on all future web apps,... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
