Its never been easier to release a saas app. But getting to production is a longer road. Having built 2-3 SaaS apps recently to small profits, I wanted to bundle everything into a re-usable product. It is also an attempt to reduce token cost

Before LLm I used to use yeoman generators like `JHipster` it saved so much time from decision making and writing boilerplate. Most existing generators are not LLm friendly unless they make an effort to add some guidance or the LLm was trained on the codebase. There is also the problem of selecting the right tools which works for 1 developer/ solo founder and all the way to teams.

I chose the tools I use for my production SaaS apps now, they work well and cost nothing to start. all Self-serve, no sales people, no approval gating

This is just a first release but I imagine we can reduce token usage further. At the moment this base generator with Codex can reduce your usage by 80-90% and get you closer to launch.

I have included comments from some solo founders I follow i have met in person , so while TS/Nextjs would not be my choice (i come from Java/Python) it has made sense from a solo founder perspective. lessons learned the hard way. I dismissed the advice initially but some founders were right, Just Release It (possibly trademarked).

I have tried to let Codex and agents harness as much possible. If needed I will manually patch things.

How to use: The generator should give you a starting point of an app. Some configuration and then you can let Codex take over.

npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/@justlab/create-saas-stack

I have published to npm after a very long time please excuse any issues for now.

pnpm is used so i still need to update readme for that

quickstart `npm create u/justlab/saas-stack@latest my-app -- --yes` or drop the auto `--yes` and select options

what you get out of the box. Auth, payments, a structured project, local docker dev, Docker deployment (should be straightforward if you deploy to vercel, but i left it open), emails , authorization, basic DB structure for Supabase.

Agents that are built from ground up to help visualize market data and present information to drive investment decision making. Not only does it combine multiagent but uses real-time data for actionable insights. Soon we will also release some derivatives focused agents. Feedback is welcome

We are team of three people, we initially built this for enterprise. However we decided to start migrating the system to a self serve system so more people can try it.

You can sign up and use it today, it’s like lovable but for market data.

Looking for early feedback on what would help you personally to see, as it won’t be the same as enterprise.

As of now we can generate charts on the fly , you can prompt it to use other data sources.

We also have about a year of SEC filings indexed that you can query including comparing them. We can of course index further back.

Re:Ask HN: Explaining front-end frameworks to a designer on Tuesday November 24, 2015 @07:18AM (#10620304)
Framework is like a joke. If you have to explain it then its not that good. I know its irrelevant but I just had to put it somewhere.
Re:Seven habits of highly fraudulent users on Monday August 04, 2014 @01:32PM (#8132947)
this is crap. this describes almost every geek out there and chinese/rtl users who use numbers where they cannot type in their script. Looks like another self-proclaimed snake-oil-salesman-turned-security-guru bull shit.

honestly... frack the internet, you'r giving it too much weight

not necessarily. For e.g. I use GamingIOcom while others lllike Razer use their branding like @CultOfRazer or @TeamRazer

You can do the same. In fact you should make it more exciting than the domain name by using a combo of two words and not too long.

Like @GetSuper @SuperDuper @SuperThing @AllThingSuper

October 21st AWS EBS problems, how to avoid in future

I have highlighted this in my AWS setup posts that it is not a good idea to rely on EBS alone for all operations http://www.acmedata.in/2012/07/03/amazon-aws-website-deployment-part-1/ I clearly mention that EBS is prone to failures. There are several ways to keep service running even if EBS fails completely.
