Django Boilerplate (Open Source Edition of SaaS Pegasus)
Django Boilerplate is an open-source project that provides a starter template for building Django-based web applications, inspired by the SaaS Pegasus framework. It includes pre-configured tools for authentication, deployment, and common SaaS features to accelerate development.
Background
Django is a popular Python web framework for building back-end applications, similar to Ruby on Rails or Laravel. SaaS Pegasus is a paid commercial starter kit for Django that provides pre-built common features (billing, user accounts, team management) to skip repetitive setup. This repository is an open-source subset of that commercial product — free for anyone to use or modify. It includes Docker-based local development, pre-commit hooks for code quality, and a minimal but functional starting point for Django projects. Developers who want the full paid features (like Stripe billing, team invitations, SaaS metrics) still need the commercial version; this repo gives them a taste or a simpler foundation to build on.
