Welcome to KnightsForge!
KnightsForge is a private SaaS factory designed to streamline the entire process of building, launching, and scaling SaaS applications. This system curates essential resources across development, design, deployment, and marketing, allowing for rapid creation of SaaS projects with minimal friction. While this is a private venture, I will be selectively sharing public resources, including templates and tools, to support the wider developer community.
KnightsForge is my personal system for quickly and efficiently developing SaaS applications. The factory approach integrates every stage of a SaaS lifecycle, from coding and design to deployment and marketing, all while ensuring scalability and automation. This framework is tailored to suit my needs as a solo entrepreneur and developer.
- Modular Components: Build SaaS applications using pre-built modules for essential features like authentication, payments, user management, and more.
- Automation: Includes automated CI/CD pipelines, testing suites, and deployment mechanisms using Docker and cloud platforms.
- Reusable Templates: Standardized templates for different types of SaaS applications (e.g., CRM, e-commerce, analytics dashboards) to speed up the development process.
- UI/UX Resources: Pre-designed assets and components using modern frontend frameworks (React, Tailwind CSS, etc.) to maintain design consistency.
- Marketing and Launch Resources: Tools and templates for landing pages, SEO, and email marketing automation to ensure a smooth launch.
KnightsForge is a private project that I am developing for my own use. However, as part of my commitment to the developer community, certain templates, scripts, and resources will be made publicly available for others to use and adapt.
KnightsForge is divided into several key modules, each addressing different stages of SaaS application development and launch. Here’s an overview of the modules:
- Frontend: React with pre-built components, ensuring a rapid development workflow.
- Backend: Node.js/Django with authentication, database integration, and API management tools.
- Database: Support for both SQL (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB) databases for flexibility.
- Automated builds and deployments using GitHub Actions and Docker.
- Kubernetes for scalable deployment in production environments.
- Pre-configured CI/CD pipelines that run automated tests and deploy updates seamlessly.
- Authentication: Secure, JWT-based authentication system with support for OAuth2.
- Payment Integration: Ready-to-use Stripe and PayPal payment processing templates for subscription-based services.
- User Management: Role-based access control (RBAC) and user profile management.
- Pre-designed UI components using Tailwind CSS and React for rapid prototyping.
- Figma templates for UI/UX design customization.
- Pre-built landing pages optimized for conversion and SEO.
- Email marketing automation with pre-built sequences (Mailchimp, ConvertKit).
- Integrated analytics via Google Analytics and Hotjar.
- Code Generators: Tools for scaffolding entire projects or individual modules.
- API Management: Auto-generated API documentation with OpenAPI and Postman collections.
I will periodically release templates and tools to assist other developers in creating their own SaaS applications. Some of the resources you'll find include:
- Authentication templates (OAuth, JWT)
- Payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal)
- User management modules
- Pre-designed landing pages
- API management tools
These resources can be found under the /public-resources folder in this repository.
