It is do-it-yourself Django + React Boilerplate for starting your SaaS application. In existing boilerplates for Django+React (or just for Django) there are very often too many features provided (do you really need traefik for MVP?). So before starting, you need to remove a lot of functionality that you don't need or simply don't understand.
I decided to create a simple Django+React boilerplate with step-by-step instructions how to build it. During building you can decide what you need or not. And for sure you learn a lot about Django and React. I hope it will provide good and quick starting point for creating SaaS applications. I would like to create real SaaS applications based on this boilerplate with step-by-step tutorials how they were created. They will be available at SaaSitive website.
