Launch your SaaS MVP yesterday

This project is no longer active.

I'm working on a new and improved boilerplate. It will be available at https://github.com/confuzeus/bango

Time to market is of essence when developing your MVP.

If you take too long, you lose motivation and potential market advantages.

With this project template, you'll be able to launch your MVP not today, nor tomorrow, but yesterday!

Usage guide

Memberships use Group from django.contrib.auth.

1. Configure MEMBERSHIP_GROUPS in settings.py.
   • It's a dict of dicts.
   • Some samples have been set already.
2. Configure VIEW_PERMISSION_GROUPS.
   • It's a dict that takes a unique str view id as key and a list of allowed groups.
3. Configure UPGRADE_URL.
   • This is where users who don't have access to a view will be redirected to.
   • Preferably, this should be the page where users are asked to upgrade their membership.
4. Decorate your views with group_required from the core package.
   • This decorator takes a unique str view_id.
   • This is the view id that must be used in VIEW_PERMISSION_GROUPS from above.
5. Configure a DEFAULT_MEMBERSHIP_GROUP.
   • This is the group that new users will be added to by default.
6. Configure UPGRADE_PATHS.
7. Run the init_membership management command.
   • This command adds all current users who aren't part of any membership groups to the default one you specified above.

Some example settings have been set already and you can find some dummy views in the accounts app.
