Vibe code your SaaS
from day one
SaaS-DNA is the production-ready starter template designed to work with AI. Clear patterns, consistent conventions, and setup guides that any AI can follow — so you can build your entire SaaS with Claude, Cursor, or your tool of choice.
👋 Hi, I'm Xavyr
For the past few years, I've been helping developers break into software engineering 💻.
What started as sharing snippets of private classes I was running online eventually grew into a community of 80k+ people on Instagram 📱 and a coaching program where I worked closely with aspiring engineers. Together we built real applications, sharpened technical skills, and focused on what actually gets people hired.
Many of those developers went on to land life-changing offers — cumulatively my clients have received well over $500k in compensation 💰.
But something about the process always bothered me 🤔.
Most of the projects we built had a single purpose: help someone get a job. Once they succeeded, the project was abandoned. On top of that, every new project meant rebuilding the same infrastructure, deployment setup, and boilerplate from scratch.
I kept thinking: what if one of these projects actually became something real?
Then the AI wave arrived 🌊.
Almost overnight, the cost and speed of building software dropped dramatically. Tools improved. Iteration became faster. The barrier to launching products is next to nothing. And at my W2 job, I've been interviewing devs that openly admit to vibe coding everything on thier resume. And I'm one of the last stages in thier interview process!
It felt like a shift from “build one careful shot” to “take as many shots on goal as you want” 🔥.
That realization made me step back for all of 2025 and rethink everything — how I coach, how I build, and what I want to create.
That led to this template 🛠️.
It's designed for developers and solopreneurs who want to move quickly from idea to product without rebuilding the same infrastructure every time. But it's also something I built for myself — because I want to spend more time shipping real products that I own.
🎯 As of March 5th, 2026, I've set a simple goal:
Build software that reaches $1k/month in recurring revenue.
When that happens, I'll come back and update this page ✍️.

The problem
Every solo builder hits the same wall
You have two options. Both set you up for failure.
“I'll build it myself”
Auth, payments, webhooks, middleware, database schema, error handling, deployment config… You spend weeks on infrastructure before writing a single line of business logic. Most solo projects die here.
“I'll let AI figure it out”
AI generates code fast — but without established patterns to follow, every prompt produces something different. Inconsistent auth checks, no error handling conventions, tangled imports. It works today. It breaks tomorrow.
The third path
Give AI a professional foundation to build on
SaaS-DNA gives you the architecture and conventions upfront — the same patterns a senior engineer would lay down. Your AI follows them on every prompt, so the code stays clean on day 1 and day 100.
Ship in days, not months
Auth, payments, database, webhooks, and deployment — already wired. Jump straight to your product's unique value.
AI stays on the rails
Established patterns mean every prompt produces consistent, production-quality code. No drift, no spaghetti, no rewrites.
Scales with your ambition
The same conventions that make day-1 easy make day-100 manageable. Add features without fighting your own codebase.
Built with the stack AI knows best
Point your AI at SaaS-DNA and start building
SaaS-DNA isn't just a template — it's a foundation designed so AI can understand it, extend it, and build on top of it without breaking things.
AI-guided setup
Paste the setup docs into Claude or ChatGPT and it walks you through configuring Better Auth, Stripe, Supabase, and Vercel step by step — for both web and mobile versions.
Describe what you want
Tell your AI “add a team invites feature” or “create an admin dashboard.” The established patterns — route structure, middleware, Prisma models, API conventions — mean AI generates code that fits right in.
Ship it
Auth, payments, database, and deployment are already wired up. You skip the weeks of boilerplate and go straight to building the thing that makes your product different.
Why SaaS-DNA is perfect for vibe coding
Every file follows the same conventions. Every pattern is repeated consistently. This is what makes AI-assisted development actually work.
Consistent API patterns
Every API route follows the same structure — auth check, validation, business logic, error handling. Tell AI to “create a new API endpoint like the existing ones” and it nails it every time.
Predictable file structure
Protected routes, public routes, API routes, components, and lib utilities are all where AI expects them to be. No guessing, no custom conventions to explain.
Type-safe from DB to UI
Prisma generates types from your schema. TypeScript catches mistakes at compile time. AI produces better code when the types are clear, and the feedback loop is instant.
Web and mobile ready
SaaS-DNA includes setup guides for both web (Next.js) and mobile (React Native / Expo) versions. Your AI can walk you through either path from the same codebase.
This storefront was vibe coded with SaaS-DNA
You're looking at it. This site — the auth, the payments, the GitHub access system, this landing page — was built by pointing an AI at SaaS-DNA and describing what we wanted.
What you see is what you get. And what you get is a codebase that AI already knows how to work with.
A structure AI already understands
Every folder, every file follows Next.js App Router conventions. AI tools already know where everything lives.
Protected routes are grouped
The (protected) folder wraps all auth-required pages in a single layout that checks for a valid Better Auth session. AI knows to put new authenticated pages here.
API routes mirror the domain
Webhook handlers, GitHub integration, and business logic each get their own folder under app/api/. Every route follows the same auth → validate → respond pattern.
Database schema is the source of truth
Prisma schema defines models and relations. TypeScript types are auto-generated. AI reads the schema and instantly knows your data shape.
Middleware guards the perimeter
A single middleware.ts file handles auth checks and route protection using Better Auth session cookies. Public routes are explicitly listed — everything else requires sign-in.
Every flow is mapped out
Auth, payments, and data sync follow clear, linear paths. Your AI reads these patterns and replicates them perfectly.
Authentication Flow
Every request passes through Better Auth middleware. Protected routes are automatically guarded — no auth code scattered across pages.
Payment Flow
Stripe handles checkout. Webhooks sync payment status to your database. Access to your protected routes is automatic, so you can simply start coding your business logic without worrying about subscription status.
Data Flow
Better Auth stores users and sessions directly in Prisma. Stripe webhooks link payments. Everything flows through typed models — AI never has to guess the shape.
One pattern. Every API route.
Tell your AI “create a new API route like the existing ones” and it produces correct, consistent code every time. Here's why.
Authenticate
Check Better Auth session. Reject if not signed in.
Validate
Parse request body. Check required fields.
Execute
Run business logic via Prisma. Type-safe DB operations.
Respond
Return JSON with appropriate status code.
Why this matters: When every route follows the same 4-step pattern, AI tools generate code that matches your codebase perfectly. No cleanup, no refactoring — just describe the endpoint and ship it.
