A SaaS Template Built for the Solo Founder
As a solo founder your scarce resource is attention. This template gives you Stripe, auth, a member app and admin in code you can read in an afternoon — so you spend your time on the product, not the plumbing.
Indie hackers and solo founders win or lose on focus. A heavy framework or a JavaScript boilerplate hands you a toolchain to maintain, a dependency tree to keep green and a hosting bill to watch — overhead that is fine for a team and a tax when it is just you. Simple Stack is sized for one person: a flat PHP + SQLite app you can hold in your head, deploy by copying files, and hand to your AI coding agent to extend. The boring 80% — billing, auth, admin — is done, so your hours go to the 20% that is your idea.
- Ship faster, aloneBilling, auth, a member app and an admin app are already wired — start on your product, not the scaffolding.
- Small enough to hold in your headA flat codebase with no framework to learn, so you can read and trust the whole thing.
- No toolchain to babysitNo build step, no node_modules to upgrade, nothing in CI to keep green between releases.
- Your agent can extend itThe whole app fits in an AI coding agent context, so it can add features and deploy from the docs.
