SAAS Builder

A simple framework or boilerplate that will provide everything you need in order to build a SAAS application.

Everything must be procedurally generated based on configuration.

Items required for a SAAS application:

  • Web application
  • Mobile application
  • Marketing Website
  • Sign-up and payment
  • Authentication
  • backend business logic
    • CRUD
    • Specialized views and queries
    • Actions a user can take
    • Regularly scheduled tasks
    • Rule based events - trigger an action on a preset state (could supersede the scheduled tasks)
  • Data storage
    • Access rules
  • File/Object storage
    • Upload/Download
    • Access rules
  • Integration with external application specific tools and services for ingestion (e.g. Domo Workbench, Weave Sync App, Parentlink Data app, etc)
  • Notifications - send to frontend
  • Send messages via email, SMS, Slack, or other chat applications
  • Event streams - for internal and external consumption
  • Audit logging - for user actions
  • System logging and monitoring
  • System monitoring for uptime and maintenance
  • User feedback system
  • Support systems - chat, phone, email, ticketing
  • Sales - lead gen, demoing, closing, onboarding

Can everything be based on a single 'Entity' object that gets augmented with features when the config calls for it?

Let's run through some examples.

Some examples of entities are:

  • users
  • pages
  • blog articles
  • tasks
  • Notifications
  • Photos
  • Permissions
  • Customers
  • Addresses
  • Passwords
  • SMS Messages
  • SMS Threads
  • Databases
  • DB Tables
  • Charts
  • Preferences
  • Forms
  • Form Fields
  • User Actions
  • System Actions
  • Micro Services
  • Support Tickets
  • Templates

I'm trying to think through how I'd go about building a page with dynamic content on it. Let's keep it simple first. And build a basic blog.

  • Create an entity and set its name to be a 'page'.
  • Properties for the page will include a name
  • Features would include a template that renders blog articles with pagination
  • Child entities would include blog articles

I asked ChatGPT to come up with some example page types that I would need to implement and here is what it came up with:

  • Login/Authentication Views: For user login, registration, password recovery, and multi-factor authentication.
  • Profile/User Account Views: For user settings, profiles, and account management.
  • Admin/Settings Views: For configuring application settings, roles, and permissions.
  • Settings/Preferences Views: For user preferences and application configurations.
  • Form Views: For data entry, including creating, editing, and submitting forms.
  • Wizard/Step-by-Step Views: For multi-step processes such as onboarding or checkout flows.
  • Wizard/Step-by-Step Views: For guiding users through a process with multiple steps.
  • Table/Grid Views: For displaying tabular data with sorting, filtering, and pagination.
  • Search/Filter Views: For advanced search functionalities with filtering options.
  • Notifications/Activity Feed Views: For displaying alerts, notifications, and activity logs.
  • Inbox/Message Views: For managing messages, emails, or chat interfaces.
  • Modal/Popup Views: For transient interactions like alerts, confirmations, and quick data entry.
  • Error/Empty State Views: For handling errors, no data, or empty states gracefully.
  • Calendar Views: For scheduling, booking, and time management features.
  • Charts/Graphs Views: For visualizing data with different types of charts (e.g., bar, line, pie).
  • Reports/Analytics Views: For detailed reports and analytics with drill-down capabilities.
  • Card Views: For summarizing information in a card format, useful for dashboards and overviews.
  • Map Views: For geographic data representation, such as location tracking or service areas.
  • Help/Support Views: For providing user assistance, FAQs, and support ticket submission.
  • Documentation Views: For displaying manuals, guides, and documentation.
  • Landing Page/Marketing Views: For public-facing marketing pages with promotional content.

Lower priority views

  • Kanban Board Views: For project and task management with drag-and-drop functionality.
  • Tree Views: For hierarchical data structures, such as file explorers or organizational charts.
  • Gallery Views: For displaying images or media content in a grid or masonry layout.
