Introduction

What is Creator?

Creator is a production-ready Next.js boilerplate that gives you everything you need to launch a SaaS product. Instead of spending weeks wiring up authentication, billing, email, and admin dashboards, you start with a working foundation and focus on building your product.

What's included

• Authentication — Email/password with OTP verification, Google and GitHub OAuth, JWT sessions, role-based access (user/admin)
• Billing — Stripe and Lemon Squeezy integration with webhook handling, subscription management, and one-time payments
• Email — Transactional emails via Resend or Mailgun with pre-built templates for OTP, welcome, password reset, and more
• Admin Dashboard — User management, revenue charts, subscription analytics, and site configuration
• Storage — File uploads via Cloudflare R2 or Supabase Storage
• Database — PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, type-safe schema, and pre-built queries
• Rate Limiting — Upstash Redis with sliding window, three tiers (auth, sensitive, API)
• Monitoring — Sentry error tracking for server and edge
• Analytics — Google Analytics, Plausible, or custom script support with cookie consent
• UI — shadcn/ui components (New York style), Tailwind CSS v4, dark mode, responsive layouts

Who is this for?

Creator is built for developers who want to ship a SaaS product without rebuilding common infrastructure from scratch. Whether you're launching a solo project or building a startup MVP, Creator handles the boilerplate so you can focus on your core product.
