About

Hi, I'm Oliver

I'm a developer, indie hacker, and the creator behind BoilerplateNews.

Glad you stopped by!

The boilerplate and starter kit ecosystem moves fast. New templates launch every week, frameworks evolve, pricing changes, and tools that were the gold standard six months ago get replaced by something better. Keeping up with all of that while actually building products felt like a part-time job — and not a fun one.

Why I built BoilerplateNews

I was tired of missing important updates. A boilerplate I relied on would release a major new version, or a new starter kit would launch that would have saved me weeks of work — and I'd only find out weeks later by accident. There was no single place that tracked what was happening in this space.

So I built BoilerplateNews. It's a focused news hub for everything happening in the world of boilerplates, starter kits, and developer scaffolding tools. Launches, updates, comparisons, and community highlights — all in one place.

• Timely: Coverage of new launches and major updates as they happen.
• Focused: No noise, no off-topic tech news — just what's relevant to developers who build with boilerplates.
• Honest: Real takes, not just press releases. If something is worth your attention, I'll tell you why.

Whether you're actively looking for a new template or just want to stay informed, BoilerplateNews keeps you in the loop without overwhelming your reading list.
