Hello everyone!
This post is about why am I getting into building another starter kit.
What's Electrik
Electrik is an open source Laravel starter kit. It provides all the essential functions required to get started with building your next SaaS application.
What's different?
Well for starters, Electrik does not have pay walls for premium features like other starter kits have. Another differentiator is its features, UI, etc.
Why another starter kit?
It's true that there are plenty of starter kits available out there. Some are good, some are bad. I am not saying that Electrik is the answer to all questions. But what motivated me to build Electrik is that I believe that if you are building an open source tool, then it should be 100% open-source with no paywalls for premium features. That's where Electrik is different. I have open sourced it with all the features that are required to build a SaaS application. As a developer, company, or an enterprise, you should not be concerned about trivialities of picking and joining multiple libraries and then configure them to make it workable. Electrik takes that pain away. And it helps in reducing the GTM time.
Is anyone using it?
Electrik has been around for around a year. And I have used it in multiple enterprise, bespoke applications. After seeing that it performs well, I decided to open source it.
Currently there are around 10-15 enterprises using Electrik
