## 👨‍💻 The Story Behind Saaskey

Hi, I'm **[@xijaja](https://x.com/xijaja)**.

I am not a Computer Science major. **I am a Product Manager with 8 years of experience.** In May of this year, I left my job to teach myself coding and become a full-time Indie Hacker.

**My Journey:**
At first, I fell in love with **SvelteKit** for its simplicity. But as I tried to build complex SaaS apps, I hit a wall: the ecosystem just wasn't big enough yet. So, I bit the bullet and moved to **Next.js**.

**Why Open Source?**
Originally, I planned to sell this as a paid boilerplate. But I realized two things:
1.  I don't want to spend my days doing customer support. I want to build products.
2.  I believe the best way to learn is to share. I learned the hard way so you don't have to.

I've stripped away the overly complex logic and kept the core: **A beautiful UI, rock-solid Authentication, and a modern Database setup.** It is a clean canvas. You can focus on your unique value proposition without wrestling with configuration.
