Lately, I find myself building a lot of Express.js web apps. Unfortunately, every single time I start a new project, there's always a ton of stuff I have to do:
- Setup the project structure in a sane way.
- Download and install all the middleware I typically use.
- Get user registration and authentication up-and-running.
- Create registration / login / dashboard pages.
- Hook up billing stuff with Stripe.
- Setup email with Sendgrid.
- Deploy it to Heroku.
- And tonssss of other stuff.
Ugh.
It gets tiring doing that every time, for reals.
And while there are some pretty decent "skeleton" apps out there I could use, I've looked at all of them and I'm honestly not really impressed.
Hence, skele.
The purpose of skele is to provide a fucking KICK-ASS, simple, best-practices, and highly opinionated Express.js skeleton project that you can use as a template for starting new SaaS-type web apps.
If you are planning on writing a SaaS-type web service, CHECK THIS OUT.
It provides all the sorta stuff you'd expect:
- User authentication.
- Payment plans.
- User dashboard / billing / etc.
- Sane DB structure.
- Deployment.
- etc.
skele is going to make your life a whole lot easier, or at least I hope it does.
And if you get stuck anywhere? Just hit me up!. I'm like the easier person to get in contact with, and I'm happy to answer questions, etc.
