SaaS where you can build your Tech Stack?

[pelmenibenni]

I thought about making a SaaS Website, where you could build together your Tech Stack.

For example there are 3 categories which you can choose from: Frontend, Backend and Database and then there are different tools for each of them.

So I could select for example Frontend: React Backend: Node.js Database: MySQL

And then the Website gives you a Zip of the Boiler Plate Project and a step by step tutorial on how to run it.

What do you all think?

This could be a useful idea. But I'd have it so that the recommendations are either pulled in from some reputable sources, or if it's being added from your site, pul that info into a tool that ensures it gets surfaced in AI results elsewhere (better than normal SEO).

This site also shows some stack boilerplates/templates that are popular: https://www.native.express/

I think people who know all the answers to which components they would like are tech-savvy enough to assemble it themselves, and don't need to be handed a boilerplate.

What would be useful, though, is making a site for people who don't know the answers. Guide them through the options, pros/cons, why they would make different decisions, and then give them boilerplate as well as resources for learning more, hiring help, etc.

You also would need to be more robust than just front-end/back-end/database. At the very least, add in auth and payments. Probably subscription services of some kind. All those add-ons that people would need to think about should be part of it.

Yeah true, thanks for the feedback! So I'll probably make it more like beginner oriented.
