Show HN: I open-sourced my Go and Next B2B SaaS Starter (deploy anywhere, MIT)

A founder just flung an MIT-licensed “build-a-business” kit onto the internet—plug‑and‑play login, billing, AI, and more, powered by Go and Next. It promises a one‑line setup and “deploy anywhere.” Cue the crowd: some applauded (“Awesome project!”), others squinted at the fine print. One fan loved learning about Polar.sh as a Merchant of Record (a company that handles subscriptions, taxes, and invoices), but the htmx crew wished for a lighter, old‑school web vibe instead of a big React party. The spiciest thread? Lock‑in. A commenter called out avoiding Supabase (a hosted backend) only to land on Stytch, a proprietary login/permissions provider: is it freedom if your keys are still with someone else? Another hot seat: “Do you even need a separate backend?” One voice asked where the tipping point is for a “proper” server versus keeping everything simple in one place. Then came the roast: an eagle‑eyed skeptic sniffed “another template shipped in a single commit,” complete with “For now do this” comments—classic Hacker News bingo. Still, plenty said they’ll copy ideas, eyeballing out‑of‑the‑box AI (via OpenAI) and OCR (from Mistral) while side‑eyeing the consulting upsell. It’s part excitement, part “show me receipts,” all peak dev drama.
