  kit setup on cleansaas.dev (still 7days until release at the moment of posting)

Inspiration

I figured selling shovels while I'm digging myself is not a bad idea. could be a steady small income while I'm focusing on my own projects

What it does

it gives you the same template I'm using for most of my web apps, while it allows you to configure everything that's specific to your app (app name, domain name, founder's email, terms and conditions, and tens of other public variables, as well as private variables such as api keys for stripe, sign in with google, monitoring with sentry etc.)

How I built it

with love, because I'm using it myself used svelte for front-end, which is also the 1st choice in the kit for your frontend too but since the cleansaas app itself (the website you're buying the kit from) is so simple, I used flask and sqlalchemy. I didn't feel like using the kit itself to built cleansaas.dev would've been worth it. I mean, all the website does is show you the options to customize your kit, then you pay for it and then you download it, plus a minimal blog for SEO

Challenges I ran into

creating a templated kit where you have to write a parser is slightly challenging. I wanted to be able to reference other variables in the kit builder interface, and also use something like:

FOUNDER_FRIENDLY_NAME = "Jimmy"
FOUNDER_FRIENDLY_NAME_LOWER = "{||FOUNDER_FRIENDLY_NAME.lower()||}"

(this is actual code from the kit's configuration page that you're supposed to personalize)

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

it works! and it's extremely useful to me, so I can't imagine this won't provide value. it's just about pricing and distribution, I guess

What I learned

hetzner is goat

What's next for cleansaas

• finding PMF and pricing, marketing on various platforms. I won't do a Product Hunt yet, as past experiences were underwhelming
• hosting your own project.cleansaas.dev, kind of like vercel does, but much simpler. btw, a demo app created with this kit is already online at https://cleansaas.dev/live-demo
