Would you buy a boilerplate for electron.js apps?

1 pointsby sebestindragosabout 1 year ago
Saw a lot of people struggling to integrate things like shadcn components or even react into electron and was thinking of publishing a boilerplate.<p>For reference I recently went through all of these struggles while building https:&#x2F;&#x2F;first2apply.com<p>Seeing the success of other boilerplate projects like https:&#x2F;&#x2F;shipfa.st&#x2F; there seems to be a need for them in different tech stack and electron doesn’t have one yet.<p>The stack I used for f2a is: - electron.js (obviously) - electron forge to run builds - auto-updater - react - tailwind css - shdcn components - supabase for auth + db + edge functions to run custom backend code - nextjs for landing page - blog project also built using nextjs with proper SEO - stripe for accepting payments (subscriptions)<p>Some other points worth mentioning: - it also supports email confirmation + forgot password functionality via deep links - I deployed f2a to the MS store and would include docs on how to do that (the appx built was a pain in the ass to figure out)<p>So bottom line is you would buy a batteries included boilerplate to start a SaaS with electron (landing page, blog, actual electron app)<p>Thinking about pricing it at 199$.

How well does HN reflect the market segment for this type of product?<p>Keeping in mind that for many people who write comments on HN, commenting is the allure of HN...e.g. this comment, what channels will work to create awareness among likely buyers.<p>Good luck.
