wave VS awesome-saas-boilerplates

Wave - Open source and based on Laravel.

I knew it would require a membership management system, payment processor, etc, and despite thinking Wordpress is great for what it does and who it's for, I absolutely hate working in it with a passion. I also knew trying to build each of theses website functions (even with pre-made things to help) was going to take more time than I had to get going, so I ultimately ended up going with Wave, which is just a SaaS starter kit thing, built on(with?) Laravel that has everything I needed (membership manager, payment processor, db integration, etc). It's done really well.

Google for related frameworks. Maybe these will help set up things faster. For example, https://devdojo.com/wave is a free Laravel-based SaaS setup that takes care of users, login, admin, basic pages, blog, etc. You can install that and begin building on top of that. Maybe there is a similar solution for your tech stack.

I'm using a pre-built thing called Wave that uses Laravel, and a few other things like Voyager to have a functioning member-ready site. It works really well, but something about it does not seem to jive with Cloudways, and my only thought is that it could be something about the database configuration or something, but I have no clue. I tried a brand new Wave install just to test, and it still happens on all fresh everything.

Last question (sorry for asking so much) In the git instructions there are a couple of commands that say something about database migration, do you know if I will need to do these commands still if I'm running this db separately? I wasn't sure if this was only needed if it was going to be built into the app, or if this is also needed regardless. https://i.imgur.com/jJFGY0m.png Thank you again so much for being helpful. I'm still learning the basics and it's hugely beneficial.

Side note - we are using Wave as a template for our app which has helped us with most of the backend so far with payment + user authentication, etc.

Dev Dojo's Wave - https://devdojo.com/wave - a complete solution with user profiles and payments.

For those confused, I just want something like https://devdojo.com/wave but with support for Stripe or Paypal. It has to be free, I don't mind if I have to self-host.

Amazing to see more options in the market! Consider adding your solution to: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates .

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).

Don’t worry about technology too much. Google for “SaaS boilerplate” and use one that suits your existing skills. Example: https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates collects such frameworks, it lists 4 for Rails.

If you end up building one, please add it to https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates

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.

https://github.com/smirnov-am/awesome-saas-boilerplates There are also some golang based

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.
