I need your thoughts on SaaS Boilerplates
Initially, boilerplates were free and were called scaffolding; things like create-react-app were trendy back then.
However, we have seen major successes in the boilerplate market, and it’s tempting to enter it.
Because of these, I decided to go deeper into understanding why startup founders should use SaaS boilerplates.
Here are my top reasons:
- Speed - Cost-effectiveness - Standardization and Best Practices - Flexibility and customization
I also detailed when to use boilerplates for your startup and when not to use them.
I created a blog post around it that covers it in much detail.
Here’s the link: https://boilerplatesearch.com/blog/why-you-need-a-boilerplate-for-your-next-saas-project
I’m still exploring further on this subject. Let me know if you have anything to add.

Ask HN: Anybody notice how Dropbox disabled direct access to files in their App?
Did anybody notice how Dropbox seems to have disabled access to files in the Dropbox (ios) app? Previously, when looking at/selecting files, there was an obvious way to use the built-in "share-to" feature to get files into other apps, share the file itself via e-mail, messengers, open in other software etc. Now, the only thing Dropbox will ever do is create a publicly viewable link to be able to share a file. It will do so automatically, with virtually any sharing button. I presume it's a kind of anti-feature that's supposed to get everybody to use Dropbox, because the receivers will get Dropbox links instead of the files directly.
But it means sensitive files are constantly shared view public links, and you cant get access to the data to use in other apps. I wonder whether the negative sentiment created by hiding direct access to data and constantly trying to publish sensitive private data inside some kind of ad-link is more harmful than the attempt to get more users onto the platform via those links.
