The story behind BoilerplateList and why we built it.
Updated
I'm Oliver — a developer and indie hacker. BoilerplateList was the first site I built in the boilerplate space, and it's still the heart of everything else I've made since.
It started with a familiar scene: ten open tabs, three pricing pages, a handful of GitHub READMEs — and still no idea which boilerplate to pick. That was me at the start of every new project. The information was all out there; it was just scattered across the internet and impossible to compare
at a glance.
BoilerplateList is my answer to that. A single, well-organized directory of boilerplates and starter kits across every major stack — not a link dump, but a proper directory where you can filter by framework, language, use case, or pricing model and actually find what you need in minutes instead
of hours.
What makes it useful
- Curated: Every entry is hand-picked — only templates that are actively maintained and actually worth your time.
- Filterable: Find the right fit fast by stack, use case, or pricing. No scrolling through noise.
- Up to date: New boilerplates are added regularly so the list stays current as the ecosystem evolves.
Whether you're kicking off a SaaS, a landing page, or a full-stack app: the right starting point is already out there. This site helps you find it.
