Getting started with Open SaaS
When building AI Blog Articles, I decided to get started as fast as possible. So I looked for a free boilerplate and stumbled upon Open SaaS, which used YC-backed Wasp. It is a full-stack React + NodeJS + Prisma that takes 8 hours to get started with.

In addition, their CLI can help you start faster too. By running wasp new, you can get yourself a custom template that fits your needs. For example, if you’re building up a new SaaS, you’ll probably find a fit with OpenSaaS or if you’re creating a more specific solution, an AI code generator can help you start quickly if nothing else fits.

🎉 Our web framework reached 9,000 stars on GitHub! ⭐️ 9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ ⭐️
9,500 stars and almost 3 years later, here we are today. Wasp is getting close to entering the elite 10,000 stars club on GitHub, next to the giants of the industry. The framework we started, and developed further with the invaluable feedback from the community, is being used by all kinds of developers - from weekend projects, to startups and top enterprises. Startups made with Wasp have been acquired. I just saw a job ad today on Upwork, where a company is hiring for Open SaaS (an open-source, free boilerplate starter for React & Node.js, powered by Wasp) developers 🤯.

Web frameworks we are most excited for in 2024
Although some people could consider Wasp’s opinionated stance a negative thing, it is the driver behind Wasp’s numerous full-stack features. With Wasp, starting a full-stack project for a single developer or a small team is much easier, especially if you use one of the pre-made templates or OpenSaaS as your SaaS starter. Because the core of the project is well-defined, it is very easy to get started with a project and potentially, make your own full-stack SaaS in a couple of days! What’s also cool is the fact that most of the pre-existing knowledge of web developers for most of them still applies here, because the technologies that Wasp uses are established.

Django SaaS Package
I'm obviously biased, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I also probably know more about this space than ~anyone else. I'd say that your characterization is pretty accurate. There are many similar products to Pegasus (you can find a pretty comprehensive list here: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates) but most of them are either more focused on infrastructure/setup (e.g. cookiecutter-django or - as you noted - far less mature/maintained (most of the others on that list).

Why can't I buy the foundations of a SaaS web app off-the-shelf?
I think what you're describing is an entire product category, often referred to as a "SaaS boilerplate" or a "SaaS Starter". There are a huge number of them, and you can find lists of them on github as well as places like starter.place.

Ask HN: What do you think about growth through collaboration?
Skip team features until a customer (or somebody ready to pay) is asking for it. In our B2B SaaS we have Fortune 100 companies as customers and even they are so far fine with individual accounts. We implemented two-factor-auth after customer requests but it's shocking how few of our users actually switch it on, definitely not relevant to grow or get more sales.
Start with a framework that includes authentication. It will save weeks of work. https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates
Good luck for your MVP/launch.
