NowTs
Next.js TypeScript SaaS starter, one-time purchase
- Best for
- Developers who want a straightforward, opinionated Next.js/TypeScript starting point from a solo maker rather than a large feature-heavy kit.
- Skip if
- You want a kit with a large public track record or a free tier to evaluate first.
NowTs is a paid Next.js and TypeScript SaaS starter from indie maker Melvyn Malherbe, sold as a one-time purchase starting at $197. Positioned as a straightforward, opinionated foundation rather than a feature-maximalist kit.
Pros
- TypeScript-first positioning appeals to developers who want strict typing from day one.
- Solo-maker product, which for some buyers means faster, more personal support.
- Straightforward positioning as an opinionated foundation rather than trying to cover every feature.
Cons
- No public repo, demo, or independent reviews found for this listing - facts here come from a single source page.
- Solo-maker products carry maintenance risk if the maker moves on to other projects.
- $197 price with no visible feature breakdown makes it hard to compare against competitors on value.
