I'm launching a Boilerplate - ShipSaaS
Mike Codeur
🚀 Introducing ShipSaaS.now — The AI-powered Boilerplate to Build Your SaaS Fast… and Right
🧩 The Reality
Here’s the truth: 90% of developers who start building a SaaS will never finish it.
Not because they lack ideas.
But because they waste weeks rebuilding the same stuff over and over again:
- Authentication
- Stripe setup
- Roles & permissions
- Transactional emails
- Database schemas, ORM, migrations…
And for the few lucky ones who actually manage to launch something with AI’s help…
it usually ends up as a messy, unmaintainable, insecure project.
I’ve seen it dozens of times.
And I’ve lived through it myself — even after 20 years of coding.

💡 The Hidden Problem
Today, with Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or Vercel’s v0, you can generate code at lightning speed.
But what AI still can’t do is design a robust, scalable, and secure architecture.
👉 You can ask your AI “build me a SaaS with subscriptions and a dashboard”…
and it will generate something that looks functional.
But you’ll quickly realize:
- there’s no clear layer separation (the codebase becomes chaos fast),
- no structural consistency,
- no real security standards,
- and after a week, it’s almost impossible to maintain.
In short: you save time upfront, but you pay the price later.
⚙️ Why I Built ShipSaaS.now
I spent the past few months building the boilerplate I always wished I had —
a complete, scalable, and AI-ready foundation designed for AI-native solo founders who want to ship fast but clean.
I wanted a base that could work for:
- a freelancer delivering SaaS projects quickly,
- a solo dev launching their first profitable product,
- or a small startup team that needs a solid foundation without wasting 3 months on setup.

In 2025, you no longer have to choose between speed and quality.
With the right tools, you can have both.
AI helps you move faster.
A good boilerplate helps you move smarter.
Together, they’re the difference between:
a side project that dies in 3 weeks
and a SaaS that actually generates revenue.
