Why most first SaaS attempts stall<br>It's rarely the idea. It's the plumbing between you and a working product.

Stack paralysis<br>Endless decisions before you write a line of product code — which framework, which database, which host.

Integration plumbing<br>Wiring Stripe to your database, sending email, handling webhooks, deploying — the unglamorous work that stops you.

Stranded after the download<br>Most boilerplates hand you a ZIP and wish you luck. No path from “files on disk” to “live product.”

Up and running in four steps<br>No stack to assemble and no config maze. Download, open, and run one command — then the guided journey takes you the rest of the way to launch.

1Download the ZIP<br>Grab the boilerplate from your account — one file, no setup wizard.

2Open it in Cursor<br>Unzip it and open the folder in your editor. Everything inside is already wired together.

3Run one simple command<br>Type pnpm dev and your app opens at localhost:3000, running right on your own computer.

4Follow the guided journey<br>The in-app Onboarding Journey walks you through GitHub, Vercel, Supabase, and Stripe — all the way to launch.

A guided path, not a bare boilerplate<br>Eight stages take you from installing a code editor to a product deployed in production. Each stage is one focused step.

0Get the boilerplate running<br>Install your editor, download the boilerplate, and run it locally.

1Your project<br>Name what you're building and who it's for.

2Foundation<br>Connect Supabase — your database and auth backend.

3Payments<br>Connect Stripe so you can charge customers.

4Email<br>Connect Resend so you can send transactional emails.

5Branding<br>App name, color, and logo — what users see first.

6Launch prep<br>Legal pages, refund policy, and a launch checklist.

7Deploy<br>Push it live and tell the world.

What's included<br>Step-by-step guided journey from setup to launch<br>Locked architectural decisions — no stack choices to make<br>Configuration GUI for branding, pricing, and email templates<br>Feature flags and an admin panel, ready to use<br>Built-in MDX blog with SEO and sitemap

Built for AI-assisted development<br>Every Coding Capybaras project ships with the context your AI coding assistant needs to navigate, modify, and extend your code without breaking the architecture.

CLAUDE.md & .cursorrules in every region<br>Out of the box, your AI assistant gets context: how the codebase is structured, what conventions to follow, what changes are safe, and where the guardrails are. No more “my AI rewrote the auth flow when I asked for a button color change.”

Three regions, clear boundaries<br>platform/ (auth, billing, admin), website/ (marketing pages), product/ (your customer-facing app). AI tools know which region to edit when, so changes stay isolated and the plumbing keeps working.

AI_INSTRUCTIONS.md + starter prompts<br>Day-one templates for talking to your AI coding assistant — what to ask, how to phrase changes, and the safety rails that prevent it from refactoring everything when you wanted a small tweak.

Tour the three regions

Built for creators. Free to ship.<br>Anyone with a software idea should be able to bring it to life. So the boilerplate that powers codingcapybaras.com is yours — free, no strings.<br>The stack it runs on has $0 monthly overhead too: Vercel, Supabase, and Resend free tiers scale to real customers, and Stripe only takes a fee when you actually get paid. Enough to launch a real product and earn real revenue without ever paying us a cent.<br>Pro ($97 one-time) is for builders who want extras — lifetime updates, expanded admin GUI, additional integrations, and email support. Business plans available for custom needs.

This site is built with the boilerplate it sells<br>codingcapybaras.com runs on the same auth, the same Stripe integration, and the same guided-journey engine you'll download. If it can ship this, it can ship yours.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know how to code?It helps, but you don't need to be a pro. If you can read code and follow instructions, the guided journey plus AI coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor do the heavy lifting. You direct the work — you just don't write every line yourself.<br>See: install Cursor or VS Code →
