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.
