What is Shipixen?

Shipixen is like a magical assistant (read: desktop app!) that takes the hassle out of building SaaS websites. With just a few clicks, you can generate a beautifully designed, SEO-optimised codebase that’s tailored to your brand. Developed by the illustrious Dan Mindru, it’s the perfect solution for busy developers and entrepreneurs who want to focus on their ideas, not the technical setup.

You get a git repository and/or a zip file with the code. You can then modify the code as you want and deploy it to any host that supports Next.js.

The most amazing thing is it comes in the form of a desktop app. It works on macOS and Windows, with potential for more platform support in the future.

What makes Shipixen unique?

• Skip the config & create thousands of different starters
• Unlimited codebases - No hidden costs. No subscriptions
• 1-click deploy to Vercel
• AI content generation
• Customise logo, theme, branding & favicon
• Pre-built themes
• Beautiful landing page components

Shipixen is more than just a boilerplate - it’s a powerful tool that lets you create unlimited custom websites, all with your own branding, theme, and content. And the best part? You own the code, so you can make it your own and take it wherever you want.

Who can benefit from Shipixen?

• Beginners who are creating their first website or learning web development
• Freelancers who build numerous websites for clients and utilise a CMS to deliver projects
• Advanced developers or freelancers with limited design skills
• Developers who are interested in creating a blog without subscribing to a CMS, preferring self-hosting
• Indie makers without existing products who are starting their building journey
