Congrats on the release! I think marketing it as a general alternative is a little bit misleading. People have their favourite technology they care about and almost every current stack already has an open source boilerplate, no?

I too built my own boilerplate, Rails + blogging + Kamal deployments, and call it Business Class. Not free, but worth it:)

Thanks for sharing, Business Class looks really cool! As I mentioned in other comments, I think the situation in JS is similar to other technologies - there are a lot of oss boilerplates, but most of them don't offer the same level of polish and features as the paid alternatives. Also, a good portion of them is outdated or not actively maintained.

And that's exactly what we are going for, just with an open-source, community-driven approach.

I can imagine you had the same motivation when you created your boilerplate starter (not the oss/community thing, but above)?
