About vibestrap
Why we built this scaffold.
We're indie hackers who got tired of rebuilding the same authentication, payments, and i18n layer for every new AI product. The good Next.js boilerplates out there (ShipAny, MkSaaS) get you 80% of the way — but they were built before AI tool-stations became a category, and they bolt AI on as an afterthought.
vibestrap is the answer we wanted ourselves. Phase 1 ships the boring-but-essential SaaS plumbing using the exact same proven stack the others picked. Phase 2 (v0.2) is where we differentiate — first-class AI provider abstraction, token-level cost observability, prompt versioning. The features no one else has, but every AI startup needs.
Pricing is one-time, with two written promises: you'll never be charged again, and every update we ship is yours for free. No subscription on the scaffold itself — we hate them as much as you do.
What we stand for
Speed beats perfection
Better to ship in minutes and iterate than to spend weeks on the perfect template.
You own the code
Full source, no DRM, no per-seat license. Modify anything. Ship anywhere.
No vapor
If a feature is in v0.2, we say v0.2. We don't sell features that don't exist yet.
