ScalePulse SaaS

A fully working, simple SaaS starter: customer feedback boards with voting.

What works

• Email/password signup and login
• Organization/workspace auto-created at signup
• Subscription status gate: free users can collect up to 3 feedback items; Pro unlocks more
• Public feedback board per workspace
• Dashboard to create, vote, track, and resolve feedback
• SQLite persistence with a schema that can move to Postgres later
• Smoke test that verifies signup, auth, dashboard, public board, feedback creation, and voting

Run

cp .env.example .env
npm install
npm run init:db
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000

Demo Pro toggle

This starter intentionally uses a mock billing upgrade route for local development. Click Upgrade to Pro in the dashboard. Replace POST /billing/upgrade with Stripe Checkout before production.

Scale path

1. Move SQLite tables to Postgres.
2. Swap session storage to Redis.
3. Replace mock billing with Stripe webhooks.
4. Add row-level org permissions to every future table.
5. Deploy behind HTTPS with SESSION_SECRET set.
