Getting Started with Movefast

Building a SaaS product from scratch can be overwhelming. Between authentication, payments, email, and database setup, you can spend weeks before writing any actual business logic. That's where Movefast comes in.

What is Movefast?

Movefast is a modern Next.js 15 boilerplate designed to help you ship products faster. It comes pre-configured with everything you need:

• Authentication - Magic link and OAuth providers
• Payments - Stripe and Dodo Payments integration
• Database - Support for MongoDB and Supabase
• Email - Postmark, Resend, and SMTP support
• UI Components - shadcn/ui with Tailwind CSS

Quick Start

Getting started is simple. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/your-org/movefast.git my-saas
cd my-saas
npm install

Environment Setup

Copy the example environment file and configure your services:

cp .env.example .env.local

Fill in your credentials for:

1. Database connection
2. Authentication providers
3. Payment gateway keys
4. Email service credentials

Your First Feature

With the boilerplate ready, you can focus on what matters - your product. Here's how to add a new feature:

1. Create a Route

Add your route to the constants file:

export const ROUTES = {
  // ... existing routes
  MY_FEATURE: "/my-feature",
} as const;

2. Build the Page

Create your page component following the existing patterns:

import { checkAuth } from "@/lib/auth/page-auth";
import { AccessLevel } from "@/lib/types/auth.types";

export default async function MyFeaturePage() {
  await checkAuth({ access: AccessLevel.AUTHENTICATED });

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Feature</h1>
      {/* Your feature UI */}
    </div>
  );
}

Deployment

Movefast is optimized for deployment on Vercel:

1. Push your code to GitHub
2. Import the project in Vercel
3. Add your environment variables
4. Deploy!

Pro tip: Use Vercel's preview deployments to test changes before going to production.
