Building a SaaS tasks application with Makerkit | Next.js and Firebase

Get a head start on your app development with our Makerkit SaaS boilerplate, built with Next.js and Firebase. Follow our step-by-step guide for an easy setup.

This tutorial is a comprehensive guide to getting started with the Next.js and Firebase SaaS template to build a basic tasks application, from fetching the repository to deploying the application.

By the end, you'll have a fully working application with the minimum basics a SaaS needs:

  1. Landing Page and Marketing pages (blog, documentation)
  2. Authentication (sign in, sign up)
  3. Payments (Stripe)
  4. Profile and Organization management

Prerequisites

To get started, you're going to need some things installed:

  1. Git
  2. Node.js version
  3. npm 7 or greater
  4. A code editor (VSCode, WebStorm)
  5. If you'd like to deploy your application, you'll also want an account on Vercel (it's free and easy to use)

Experience with React, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Firebase would be advantageous but not strictly required. The codebase can also serve as a way to learn these topics more in-depth.

If you have all the above installed, I guess we can get started!
