The AWS CDK boilerplate with all you need to launch and market your idea! Comes with email collecting / sending capabilities for only $1/10,000 emails - WAY BETTER than any other email provider out there.
I've launched and worked super hard on a couple ideas in the past. FINALLY when launch day came, I LAUNCHED them and I made a total of... $0.
After all that hard work, I had nothing to show for it. Over time I've decided to make a change to LAUNCH AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! With whatever crazy ideas I come up with, I wanted to get a website up and running really fast.
Shopping around, I found that a ton of services like Squarespace, Mailchimp, etc didn't offer a super simple solution of just a website and email launch page for a reasonable price. They had free trials, but only for a month or so! After that, the cost starts at $20/month or so and beyond. This doesn't seem too bad, until you want to start 10 ideas up in parallel all at once. All of sudden, you're bleeding $200/month for JUST the base service.
Enter ValidateFast - an AWS CDK which lets you deploy your idea onto the AWS cloud! AWS provides a very generous free tier, so as long as you aren't going above 10,000+ signups, it's practically free! Even if you do, costs are only by usage, so it should still be extremely cheap (we're talking under $1 per month).
Sending emails is even cheaper! With AWS SES, you can send emails out at $1/10,000 emails. This is WAY CHEAPER than anything else out there. Mailchimp's cheapest tier for example is $26/10,000 emails (26x the cost!)
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to deploy your website and get rid of the headaches, ValidateFast is for you!
