DeploySolo – The SaaS boilerplate for engineers. (Pocketbase/ Htmx)

Hacker News

Golang is an incredible language for web development. That being said, indie developers and small businesses will likely miss extensive resources found in other projects like Django. Although building an application from the ground up using the standard library is possible, it can be error prone and time consuming. Pocketbase has almost everything an indie developer needs, supporting database, authentication, and file storage into a single, easy-to-deploy executable. Combined with HTMX, and you can created a full stack web application without bloated front end frameworks. That being said, its a relatively new project, without extensive hands on resources for new developers to dive in and create full projects. This is why I'm building DeploySolo. On the surface, its a SaaS boilerplate carefully crafted to leverage the best of these technologies. Looking further, it is my mission to create cook books and resources for indie hackers and small businesses to build real world apps using this stack without feeling lost.
