What is TinyShip?

TinyShip is a modern full-stack SaaS development starter that lets developers quickly build commercial-grade SaaS applications. It adopts the dual-framework approach of Next.js plus Nuxt.js, so both React and Vue developers can use it. It comes with ready-made features like authentication, payment, ai integration, and internationalization, living up to the meaning of "although it is a small ship, it can carry you on a long voyage."

TinyShip is not a low-code platform; it is enterprise-grade development infrastructure. The code is written following the best practices for production environments and is of high quality. Buy it once and use it forever. It adapts well to both domestic and international markets, using the WeChat ecosystem domestically and the OAuth and Stripe ecosystem internationally.

TinyShip Features

• Dual-framework support: The Next.js version features App Router, SSR/SSG, server components, and TypeScript integration. The Nuxt.js version uses Vue 3 Composition API, Nitro server engine, with auto-imports. Both versions share the same libs core libraries and infrastructure.

How to Use TinyShip

1. Environment preparation: Install Node.js and PNPM; Docker is optional. Configure a PostgreSQL database.

2. Project initialization: Clone the project and install dependencies using pnpm install. Then configure environment variables by editing the .env file, including database connections, payment keys, and AI API Keys.

3. Start development: Start the Next.js or Nuxt.js application using pnpm dev. Alternatively, use Turborepo to manage multiple applications simultaneously with pnpm turbo dev.

4. Core configuration process: First, learn about the project introduction and environment setup, then quickly start the first application. Then configure the authentication system, use Drizzle ORM to operate the database, modify UI components and themes, and configure internationalization. Afterward, learn about advanced topics like payment integration, permission systems, and AI development.

5. Deployment: Supports containerized deployment with Docker. It can be deployed to cloud platforms such as Vercel, AWS, and Alibaba Cloud.
