Show HN: Brick Starter – .NET SaaS starter kit to ship production apps faster

https://www.brickstarter.net
1•plakhlani2•1h ago
Brick Starter is a .NET-based SaaS starter kit designed to help teams ship production-ready applications faster by handling the “boring but hard” parts of SaaS: auth, multi-tenancy, billing integration, infrastructure, and a modern frontend stack.

It ships with a modular architecture on .NET Core 8, support for multiple frontends (Angular, React/Next.js, Vue, Blazor, ASP.NET Core), and patterns for background jobs, caching, configuration, and observability. The goal is to let you start from a solid, opinionated base with good defaults, instead of wiring together boilerplate for every new project.

If you’re building a new SaaS or modernizing an existing app, feedback on what’s missing or feels over-engineered would be especially useful

Hey HN, maker here – happy to answer detailed questions about the stack, trade-offs, and whether Brick Starter is a good fit for your use case.

What it includes today?

Backend: .NET Core 8 with a layered architecture (API, application services, domain, infrastructure) and patterns for dependency injection, validation, and background processing

Frontends: templates for Angular, React + Next.js, Vue, Blazor, and ASP.NET Core, all wired to the same backend API

SaaS essentials: multi-tenant support, authentication/authorization, user and org management, roles/permissions, and payments using stripe

Infrastructure concerns: caching (e.g., Redis), configuration, logging, and some “starter” patterns for deployment and CI/CD that you can adapt to your own cloud setup

Who it’s for? Teams or solo devs who are comfortable with .NET but don’t want to keep rebuilding the same SaaS plumbing for every new product

Agencies/consultants who repeatedly deliver SaaS-style projects and want a consistent, battle-tested baseline

What it is not? A no-code tool. A magic “click once and you have a SaaS” product; you still write plenty of custom code, but start from something opinionated and production-aware

If you’re using .NET and have strong opinions about architecture, multi-tenancy, or frontend stacks, would love to hear where this matches (or clashes with) how you like to structure projects.
