🧑‍💻For Indie Hackers: Why EasyLaunchpad is the Smartest Way to Build Your Next Project

Being an indie hacker means wearing many hats — developer, designer, marketer, support, founder — all in one.

And if you’re a .NET developer or prefer building your SaaS ideas on a .NET stack, you already know one thing: the setup time can kill your momentum.

You have an idea. A validated concept. A weekend to build it.
But you spend most of that weekend setting up authentication, configuring email, building an admin dashboard, and integrating payments.

Sound familiar?

That’s why EasyLaunchpad exists. It’s a production-ready .NET boilerplate built specifically to help solo founders and indie developers build faster and smarter — without cutting corners.

đź’ˇ Why Indie Hackers Need a Boilerplate (That Actually Works)

Let’s break it down.
As an indie hacker, your biggest challenges aren’t:

  • Writing core features

  • Marketing your product

  • Getting users

Your biggest challenge is time.

Rebuilding the same things over and over for each new idea — authentication, admin panels, payment integration, email systems — can cost you weeks of your most precious resource.

That’s where EasyLaunchpad steps in to save you:

  • ⏱ Time — Launch in days, not months

  • đź§© Modularity — Plug in features only when needed

  • đź§° Essentials included — Auth, email, Stripe/Paddle, dashboard, jobs, logs

  • đź§Ľ Clean codebase — Built to grow, not rot

⚡ What Makes EasyLaunchpad Ideal for Indie Hackers?

âś… 1. You Can Launch in Days, Not Weeks

Whether you’re building a paid tool, an API wrapper, a small SaaS, or a dashboard product — EasyLaunchpad gives you:

  • Prebuilt user auth (including Google login + captcha)

  • Full admin dashboard

  • Modular payment system (Stripe + Paddle)

  • Queued email notifications

  • System settings, logging, and background jobs

That’s 2–3 weeks of development work — done.

You can validate faster, iterate faster, and ship faster — all critical for the indie hacker mindset.

âś… 2. No More Copy-Pasting from Old Projects

Most indie devs reuse parts of older projects.
But over time, those projects are out of date, tangled, or tied to specific business logic.

EasyLaunchpad gives you a clean, modular, and modern codebase based on:

  • .NET Core 8.0

  • Razor Pages + Tailwind + DaisyUI

  • Entity Framework Core

  • Serilog

  • Hangfire

  • Autofac

It’s structured with separation of concerns, making it easy to understand, maintain, and extend — even if you revisit it 6 months later.

✅ 3. It’s Not Just a Template — It’s a Launchpad

There’s a big difference between a UI template and a true MVP boilerplate.

EasyLaunchpad includes real, functional systems:

Built-in features —

Auth system (email + Google)âś…

Admin dashboardâś…

Stripe & Paddleâś…

Email engine with templatesâś…

Job schedulerâś…

Logging + error trackingâś…

Packages/plans managerâś…

You’re not getting an empty shell. You’re getting a scalable base application you can build a business on.

âś… 4. Designed to Sell From Day One

As an indie hacker, you’re also the monetization lead.

With EasyLaunchpad, you can:

  • Add plans and packages via the admin pane

  • Sync with Stripe or Paddle using existing integrations

  • Use email templates to send receipts or onboarding flows

  • Control access by role or plan — all out of the box

You can literally make your first sale before writing a single feature.
