Progressive SaaS starter template

Stop configuring.
Start shipping.

A working SaaS starter that progressively unlocks features. Clone once, then run one script per tier -- auth, database, payments, email, AI -- only when you actually need them.

terminal
$bash tiers/auth/apply.sh
Clone repoSee what's inside

5 tiers. One script each.

The base clone ships a marketing site, dashboard, and mock auth. Run a tier script to wire the real thing -- review the diff, then install.
