Hi r/selfhosted,

I’m Matija, and I’m one of the maintainers and creators of
[OpenSaaS](https://opensaas.sh/). We’ve had this idea for a while, and
I’m happy we can finally share it with you and hopefully get your
thoughts and feedback.

OpenSaaS is imagined as an open-source and free alternative to all the
feature-rich boilerplate starters you’ve been seeing around lately
that often sell for north of $300. We believe there should be a free,
community-owned, high-quality starting point for developers to create
their apps.

​

>OpenSaaS is still in its early days, and this is the first time we
have shared it with anyone! Please keep in mind not everything is
polished yet, and hiccups may occur. We’re grateful for any bug
reports or suggestions - feel free to report them on our GitHub.

​

You can access the repository on GitHub at [https://github.com/wasp-
lang/open-saas](https://github.com/wasp-lang/open-saas). If you like
it and want to support it, we would appreciate you starring the
project! That would motivate us to keep going and bring this to more
developers.

OpenSaaS is 100% open-source, and easy to deploy to any platform. We
take special care not to depend on any proprietary deployment services
or 3rd party integrations whenever possible. This is the stack it is
built upon:

* React, Node.js & Prisma - powered by Vite & Wasp framework
* Plausible Analytics for privacy, or Google Analytics for ease
* Emailing with your own SMTP, SendGrid or EmailGun
* Administrator dashboard - powered by Tailwind/Tailadmin
* Blog - powered by Astro
