Shipped

Shipped is a comprehensive Next.js SaaS Boilerplate created by software engineer and indie maker Luca Restagno. It is designed to solve a common problem for developers and entrepreneurs: the repetitive and time-consuming tasks associated with building a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application. By providing a robust foundation with all the essential features pre-built, Shipped allows creators to bypass months of foundational coding and focus directly on their unique product logic, enabling them to launch their SaaS in days.

The boilerplate is built on a modern, powerful tech stack including Next.js 14 and TypeScript, ensuring performance, scalability, and a great developer experience. It has been trusted by over 300 indie founders and has a strong community, offering support and collaboration opportunities.
