       | than alternative react + auth boilerplates. Maybe this can be
       | differentiated by adding some common SaaS features - eg billing
       | plans, checkout, multi-tenancy

       | this. There doesn't seem to be anything here that is unique and
       | not freely available, with the support of a community of
       | developers already working on it.
       | 
       | If I'm wrong, please let me know, but I'd suggest if you're going
       | to take this approach, ask yourself why somebody would use (and
       | pay for) whatever you're thinking of building, instead of what is
       | already out there. Then, tell us what that is! Because that
       | doesn't seem to be on the page.

         | I personally think these things have a future, but everyone is
         | just marketing them at the wrong people. They're marketing them
         | wrong, if you look at ecommerce, it's clear there is lots of
         | companies that want to buy instead of build. For the majority
         | of generic companies, it's literally not possible. It's not
         | even possible to build the majority of the
         | tooling/framework/generic business logic. I think projects that
         | target developers as their core market will fail. Developers,
         | even at companies, just don't have the budget to buy these
         | things at the costs it would require to make them sustainable.
         | They don't even have the authority to make such a decision,
         | again look at ecommerce and look who decides what software gets
         | bought and built upon; it's generally not the CTO. It's the CEO
         | and COO. But of course, you need to have a professional level
         | of support to make it worthwhile for the company to buy it. The
         | upselling on this is also reasonably good again as seen by
         | ecommerce and other areas.
         | 
         | Oh and one other thing, I think any solution that isn't as vast
         | as the ecommerce solutions are to ecommerce will also fail.
         | Most of these are generally very small and don't tackle any
         | issues companies will have after the MVP stage.
         | 
         | (Disclosure, I'm working on such an application/business
         | framework.)

       | Also, it may just be me but the fact I would have to use Firebase
       | scares me off this. I've heard more horror stories of seemingly
       | minor Firebase usage generating massive bills than I have from
       | the entire AWS system.
