}Included Features
Production-ready structure
Indie builders launch fast.
Then regret it later.
Shipping fast is not the same as shipping well.
Broken auth
Bad DB structures
Insecure APIs
Stripe horror stories
Untracked usage
Runaway AI costs
Scaling pain
Endless refactors
Rewriting entire systems
Fixing these later always costs more than building it right the first time.
What ShipSafe Is
(and what it's not)
What It Is
- Complete architectural system for serious builders
- Opinionated: clear decisions, no ambiguity
- Structured: predictable, maintainable architecture
- Production-first: built for real products, not demos
- Security-first: 7-layer security architecture
- Domain-driven: clean separation of concerns
- Type-safe: full TypeScript coverage
- Documented: comprehensive guides and examples
"Ship like a professional, even if you're solo."
What It's Not
- A template: generic, one-size-fits-all code
- A starter kit: basic scaffolding, missing pieces
- Demo code: toy projects, not production-ready
- A tutorial: step-by-step learning material
- A framework: opinionated runtime constraints
- A library: reusable code snippets
- Duct tape: quick fixes and workarounds
- A course: educational content, not production code
No fluff.
No toy projects.

Defense in Depth
Seven layers
Each one runs in sequence
•If one fails, the others stand guard
•Defense-in-depth security
•Production-ready from day one
This layered approach means you don't need to configure security yourself.
It's all built-in and active from day one.
Built-In Protection
✓No security configuration needed
✓Works out of the box
✓Production-tested in real applications
All traffic is encrypted from the start. Automatic HTTP to HTTPS redirect in production ensures no unencrypted connections. This is the first line of defense, ensuring all communication between clients and your application is secure and cannot be intercepted.
Simple Terms
Like sending mail in a locked box instead of a postcard. Everything is encrypted so even if someone intercepts it, they can't read it.
IP-based rate limiting prevents abuse and protects your API endpoints from being overwhelmed by malicious requests. This layer automatically throttles excessive requests from a single source, preventing DDoS attacks and ensuring fair resource usage across all users.
Simple Terms
Like a bouncer at a club. If someone tries to enter too many times too quickly, they get temporarily blocked. Keeps the bad actors out.
Blocks invalid requests before they reach your route handlers. Validates request structure, prevents malformed payloads, and filters out suspicious patterns. This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring only properly formatted requests proceed to your application logic.
Simple Terms
Like a security checkpoint. Bad requests get stopped at the door before they can cause any trouble inside your application.
Double-submit cookie pattern prevents cross-site request forgery attacks. Webhooks are excluded from CSRF protection (they use signature verification instead). This ensures that requests originate from your legitimate application, not from malicious third-party sites.
Simple Terms
Like a secret handshake. Only requests from your actual website are accepted. Prevents fake requests from other sites pretending to be you.
Complete HTTP security headers including CSP (Content Security Policy), HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security), XSS protection, and more. Hardened defaults for maximum security. These headers instruct browsers on how to handle your application securely.
Simple Terms
Like safety instructions for your browser. Tells it exactly how to protect your users from common web attacks automatically.
Complete event tracking for monitoring and compliance. All security events are logged with timestamps, IP addresses, and request details. This provides visibility into security incidents and helps with forensic analysis when needed.
Simple Terms
Like a security camera system. Records everything that happens so you can see who did what and when. Essential for catching problems early.
Protected routes requiring authentication. Returns 401 Unauthorized for API routes, redirects to login for pages. Guards your application endpoints and ensures only authenticated users can access protected resources.
Simple Terms
Like a VIP section. Only users who have logged in can access protected areas. Everyone else gets redirected to the login page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers before you buy. No fluff.
1/ A production Next.js TypeScript starter: Firebase Auth + Firestore, Stripe Checkout and Billing Portal, Resend email, Zod validation, DaisyUI templates, and a 7-layer security middleware.
2/ Full documentation for install, Firebase, Stripe, security, and deploy. Start at /docs.
3/ You own the code. Pay once, ship unlimited projects under the license.
It is built for that workflow.
You get a complete, opinionated codebase so your AI editor has real context: folder structure, naming, auth, billing, and security patterns already in place. Ask for a feature and it can extend what is already there instead of inventing a random stack.
Cursor prompts and workflow notes ship with the repo (Cursor AI workflow).
No. Templates give you marketing sections. ShipSafe is an architectural system for SaaS: auth, payments, email, validation, and security middleware that runs on every request.
You also get reusable UI and landing blocks (pricing, FAQ, hero, forms) so you can ship the product and the site without starting from zero.
Those tools are great for a landing page or a quick mock. They do not give you a battle-tested auth, Stripe, webhook, and security foundation you reuse across products.
- ShipSafe is a complete SaaS foundation, not a one-off generated page.
- It gives Cursor (and similar tools) durable context so features stay consistent.
- You reuse the same stack across projects instead of relearning a new output each time.
Most starters bolt security on later. ShipSafe starts with a 7-layer stack: HTTPS, rate limiting, API firewall, CSRF, security headers, audit logging, and auth guards.
Patterns are production-tested in live apps (ThinkMate, ShipStreak, Priora, ActivityProof, and more), not demo-only tutorials. See security docs.
Yes, if you are comfortable with React and Next.js. The architecture is yours to change.
Integrations are modular. You can swap email providers, databases, or billing later. The win is starting from hardened defaults (session auth, CSRF, Stripe webhooks, Zod) instead of wiring that from scratch.
Core (€99): the full security-first SaaS boilerplate (auth, Firestore, Stripe, Resend patterns, UI, middleware, Zod, docs).
AI-SaaS Core (€149): everything in Core, plus the AI-SaaS toolkit: OpenAI integration patterns, usage tracking, AI endpoint rate limits, and a ready-to-extend AI app structure.
Details on the pricing page.
Yes. Pay once. Build unlimited projects. No ShipSafe subscription fee.
You still pay your own vendors (Firebase, Stripe fees, Resend, hosting) as usage grows.
Hosting on Vercel has a free tier for many early projects. Firebase and Stripe have free or pay-as-you-go tiers so you can launch lean.
Resend has a free tier for transactional email. Stripe takes standard payment processing fees on sales. Exact costs depend on traffic and volume.
Yes. You get lifetime updates to the repos you purchased: security fixes, stack bumps, and improvements used in real products.
You own your fork. Merge updates when you want. The stack is maintained because it powers products that ship in production.
You get GitHub access to the private repo(s). Clone, install, set env vars (Firebase, Stripe, Resend), run locally, then deploy.
Follow Installation, then First Steps, or jump to Ship in 5 Minutes.
