Ask HN: Boilerplate SaaS app for Python?

9 pointsnotastartup5 comments

I am looking to create a SaaS application. It needs to let users register, login, subscribe to a plan by paying with stripe, cancel plan, upgrade plan....etc., it feels awfully like I'm reinventing the wheel. Basically I am looking for something like https://github.com/RailsApps/rails-stripe-membership-saas but for Python. I am using django and flask, but find that someone must have solved all these generic problems. The closest thing I found was https://github.com/zhaque/django-saas-kit but it hasn't been active for quite some time. Anyone have a suggestion? Basically I am looking for a boilerplate SaaS python application I can use for my own project which comes with the basic features like user authentication, subscription management.

Flask-Security [0] . Takes care of the following: Session based authentication Role management Password encryption Basic HTTP authentication Token based authentication Token based account activation (optional) Token based password recovery / resetting (optional) User registration (optional) Login tracking (optional) JSON/Ajax Support Many of these features are made possible by integrating various Flask extensions and libraries. They include: Flask-Login Flask-Mail Flask-Principal Flask-Script Flask-WTF itsdangerous passlib Additionally, it assumes you’ll be using a common library for your database connections and model definitions. Flask-Security supports the following Flask extensions out of the box for data persistence: Flask-SQLAlchemy Flask-MongoEngine Flask-Peewee Using stripe with Flask [1]: Follow this guide on stripe's docs.
