What is ShipFast?

ShipFast is a compendious NextJS boilerplate that empowers web developers to launch startups, SaaS, or web applications in record time. Developed by Marc Louvion, one of the most well-known indie hackers in recent times. It provides a robust set of pre-built features, including user authentication, payment processing, email integration, and more, allowing developers to focus on building their core product rather than spending time on repetitive setup tasks.

What makes ShipFast unique?

• Saves time and focus on what matters: building a business
• Avoids headaches like emails ending in spam or handling Stripe subscriptions
• Gets you profitable fast; the more you ship, the more you learn, the more you earn

The boilerplate is available in both JavaScript and TypeScript, and supports both the /app and /pages routing approaches, giving developers the flexibility to choose their preferred development workflow. ShipFast is regularly updated and maintained, ensuring that developers have access to the latest tools and technologies to build their projects.

Marc even includes tips to write copy that sells.

Who can benefit from ShipFast?

• Indie makers building AI tools, SaaS, or any other web app
• Newbie coders who want to ship projects quickly
• Experienced entrepreneurs looking to launch startups faster
• Anyone who wants to get profitable online in record time

If you’re a TailwindCSS lover, the biggest selling point is probably the daisyUI component library. That alone will save you 8 hours of work if you want to customise the app to match your branding.

ShipFast users have built successful products like Capgo, AI Directories, The 100k Database, WrapFast, and DataFast.
