Shipped

Shipped is a comprehensive Next.js boilerplate designed specifically for busy founders.

It's not just another template.

It's a full-fledged toolkit that gives you everything you need to launch your startup. Fast.

But here's the kicker:

Shipped doesn't just save you time. It saves you money.

How?

By eliminating the need to hire expensive developers for basic setup tasks.

Let's break down exactly what Shipped offers and why it's a game-changer for startup founders.

1. Landing Pages That Convert

First impressions matter. Especially in the startup world.

Shipped gives you:

• A fully customizable landing page
• A waitlist page for building anticipation
• A pre-sale page to validate your idea
• An affiliate program page to supercharge your growth

These aren't just any pages. They're designed to convert.

And the best part?

You can have them up and running in minutes, not days.

2. Payments Made Simple

Ever tried integrating a payment system from scratch?

It's not fun. Trust me.

Shipped takes the headache out of payments by integrating with Lemon Squeezy.

Why Lemon Squeezy?

It's a Merchant of Record.

Translation: You don't have to deal with international taxation. (Cue the sighs of relief from founders everywhere.)

You get:

• Checkout sessions
• Webhooks to update subscriptions
• A modern, conversion-optimized checkout UI
• A ready-to-go pricing page

3. User Authentication That Just Works

User authentication is one of those things that seems simple... until you try to build it yourself.

Shipped leverages NextAuth and Supabase to give you:

• Sign up & login pages
• Magic link authentication
• Social login (Google, Apple, X, Facebook, and more)
• Automatic user database storage
• Private API calls and a private section for logged-in users

No more wrestling with OAuth or worrying about security best practices.

It's all handled for you.

4. Email Marketing on Autopilot

Email is still the king of marketing. (Yes, even in 2024.)

Shipped comes ready to integrate with popular email services like MailChimp and Loops.

You can:

• Create and manage your product newsletter
• Send transactional emails based on specific events
• Set up product update emails and drip campaigns

All without writing a single line of email-specific code.

5. Database Management Made Easy

Databases can be a major headache for non-technical founders.

Shipped uses Prisma, an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool that simplifies database operations.

What does this mean for you?

• You can choose your preferred database (MySQL, Postgres, MongoDB, and more)
• You don't need to write complex SQL queries
• Data transactions are simplified and optimized

It's like having a database expert on your team, without the hefty salary.

6. Design That Delights

First impressions matter. And in the digital world, design is your first impression.

Shipped doesn't skimp on design. You get:

• A library of React components
• Integration with ChakraUI for beautiful, responsive designs
• Built-in TailwindCSS support for easy customization
• A customizable theme to match your brand

No more cobbling together mismatched UI elements. Shipped gives you a cohesive, professional look out of the box.

7. SEO-Optimized Blog

Content marketing is still one of the most effective ways to grow a startup. (It's how I built Backlinko, after all.)

Shipped includes a markdown-based blog with:

• Social preview cards for increased social media engagement
• Easy meta tag management for SEO optimization
• Embeds for YouTube, Loom, and Tweets
• Automatic sitemap generation for faster Google indexing

It's everything you need to start ranking on Google from day one.

8. One-Click Deploy

Once you've built your startup, you need to get it online.

Shipped makes this dead simple with one-click deployment to Vercel.

No more fumbling with server configurations or deployment scripts.

Just click and go live.

The Human Element: Meet Luca, the Brain Behind Shipped

Now, you might be thinking: "This sounds great, but who's behind it?"

Meet Luca, the creator of Shipped.

Luca isn't just another developer. He's a serial entrepreneur who's launched 5 startups in the last two years, generating over $150k in revenue.

And he did it all while working a full-time job.

How?

By building and refining the system that would eventually become Shipped.

Luca created Shipped out of necessity. He found himself repeating the same tasks over and over:

• Creating landing pages
• Integrating payment systems
• Setting up email lists
• Configuring authentication

Sound familiar?

Luca decided to package all of this knowledge and code into a boilerplate that other founders could use.

The result? Shipped.

But Luca didn't stop there.

When you purchase Shipped, you're not just getting code. You're joining a community.

Every purchase comes with access to an exclusive Discord community where you can get support, share ideas, and connect with other founders.

It's like having a team of experienced startup founders in your corner.

The Real Value: Time Saved

Here's where Shipped really shines:

It saves you an estimated 74 hours of development time.

Let that sink in.

That's nearly two full work weeks you get back.

Two weeks you can spend on:

• Refining your product
• Talking to customers
• Building partnerships
• Or, you know, actually sleeping

Time is the most precious resource for any startup founder. And Shipped gives you more of it.

Is Shipped Right for You?

Now, I'll be straight with you:

Shipped isn't for everyone.

If you're a seasoned developer who enjoys building everything from scratch, you might not need it.

But if you're:

• A non-technical founder looking to launch quickly
• A developer who wants to focus on product, not boilerplate
• A serial entrepreneur aiming to launch multiple projects
• Anyone who values their time and wants to get to market faster

Then Shipped could be a game-changer for you.
