Gravity is a SaaS boilerplate that has everything needed to build a SaaS product in a single install. It's helped over 300 developers to save months of effort and launch their products at warp speed.
Brilliant Kyle. Love how dedicated you are to building tools that help people get started and building products. On that note, what are some examples of apps that have been built with Gravity?
Also, you should have a tip jar, for the value you are giving I still feel it's too cheap :)
@chrismcclelland Thanks for the kind words, Chris!
It's been used to build everything from homework apps to time management tools on construction sites and is even being used by a designer at Apple. Here's a few examples in the wild –

Hey Product Hunters, I built a SaaS boilerplate that has helped 330 developers launch their own SaaS products at warp speed.
I first launched Gravity on Product Hunt two years ago and a lot has changed in the new version that has added tonnes of new features from customer requests and $100k+ revenue.
🔥 PROBLEM
Launching a SaaS web or mobile application requires a huge amount of time, effort and money to build standardised features like: authentication, billing and user interface. Many developers underestimate how much time is required for these features and can easily burn months of runway before delivering a single feature that drives value to the end user.
🧪 SOLUTION
I built a SaaS boilerplate that includes everything needed to spin up a SaaS app in 5 minutes instead of 5 months:
• Billing (subscription payments)
• REST API
• Secure authentication
• Beautiful React UI with suite of pre-built components
• Email notifications
• Support for MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres and more
🆕 WHAT'S NEW
The new version introduces:
• Social sign ins
• Two-factor authentication
• Organisations and teams
• Mission Control for SaaS owners to manage users, logs and events
• Integration tests
• User feedback widget an analytics
• User onboarding flows
• User event and behaviour tracking
• iOS & Android boilerplate (React Native)
Gravity is being used by 330 engineers (including one from Apple) in 22 countries building everything from social listening tools to homework apps and construction site management tools.

As someone who is building his first commercial application and still has to exercise more basic skills, I'm immensely grateful to hand that responsibility off to a pro.
If you think about all of the things you are getting(admin interface, user management, transactional emails, payment, all the login features you will ever need, etc.), the time you will be saving and the best practices you will be adopting -> I can guarantee you, that it will save you money.
And if you're stuck you will find help on slack.
Go for it!
I had mapped out building a SAAS MVP to see when I’d be able to launch. It was a painful and long list of pieces I’d need to build and integrate and test. I like Stack Overflow as much as the next engineer but I’d rather save it for the juicy stuff! Then I found Gravity. I knew from my own task mapping how valuable it was and how much time it’d save me. Instant buy. I’ve used it to build 4 different SAAS products, and working on a 5th! Incredible value, great code patterns, and a little of everything you need. Rare find.
I first tried Gravity for one of my projects last year, and it allowed us to launch our MVP crazily fast. Gravity's Slack community were really helpful with any bugs/getting setup. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build their own product (with React)... Gravity gives you some great foundations to build on, which allows you to just focus on building your core product offering. Invaluable product.
Gravity has grown into a product that new SaaS founders can't avoid anymore. Or rather, they shouldn't, if they value their time and would rather build unique product features than things that have been built thousands of times before.
Thanks, Kyle, for giving founders a head start.
Used Gravity to get my SaaS off the ground in 30 days. Highly highly recommend. It takes away the stress of writing tests and getting auth or payment setup and lets you focus on your features and users
@randallkanna Thank you for the kind words Randall! It's been awesome watching you build CrowdFox with Gravity and seeing it come together so quickly :)
