Pay Once

Description

Gravity offers a robust foundation for developers looking to build Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications using Node.js and React. Established in 2018 and utilized by over 1100 users, this boilerplate significantly reduces development time by handling complex, standard features such as subscription billing via Stripe, multi-factor authentication (including social logins and magic links), and user management.

The toolkit includes a wide array of features like UI templates built with Shadcn, support for various databases (MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, etc.), REST API setup, transactional email systems, and even native mobile app templates using React Native. It incorporates AI helpers for OpenAI and supports tools like Cursor & Windsurf, enabling faster development. Gravity aims to let developers focus on building unique, revenue-generating features rather than reinventing common SaaS components, supported by documentation, community access, and direct support.
