I built plainform.dev after getting tired of rebuilding the same SaaS setup over and over again.

Every project starts the same: auth, payments, backend, emails, SEO, UI, before even touching the actual product.

So I bundled everything into one starter so I can start building immediately instead of wasting days on setup.

It’s basically a full SaaS foundation with everything already wired.

I know this space is crowded and people hate boilerplates, so go ahead.

Hey, looking for a proper roast.

I built plainform.dev after getting tired of rebuilding the same SaaS setup over and over again. Every single project I end up rebuilding auth, payments, backend, emails, doing SEO, blog and UI.

The idea is simple: everything is already wired so you can start building your actual product features on day one instead of spending weeks on setup.

It's a Next.js starter with:

• Auth (Clerk);
• Payments (Stripe);
• Backend (Supabase, PrismaORM, PostgreSQL, AWS S3);
• Emails (Resend, Mailchimp);
• SEO;
• Blog (MDX);
• UI Components (ShadcnUI, Tailwind.css).

Basically the stuff every SaaS needs but nobody actually wants to rebuild.

I know this space is crowded, so I am trying to figure out if this actually stands out or not.

Current state:

• Live product + docs available;
• Early users testing it;
• Still refining based on feedback.

What I want brutally honest feedback on:

• Does this feel like just another boilerplate ?
• Is the value actually clear or just "sounds useful" ?
• Would you pay for something like this or just roll your own ?
• What would stop you from using it ?

Also, if this looks like a terrible idea and I'm missing something obvious, tell me straight, do not hold back.
