Example SaaS Launch Checklist for Your New Project
Use this example article to verify the ShyShorts blog, metadata, sitemap, llms.txt, and structured data pipeline before writing product-specific content.
A useful SaaS launch checklist starts with the smallest paid workflow: a working sign-in path, billing gate, database schema, product dashboard, legal pages, analytics, and one clear public page that explains who the product is for.
The first job of a SaaS starter is to remove setup drag without pretending your product already exists.
ShyShorts gives you the app shell, billing route, auth route, public site, blog pipeline, legal pages, and package boundaries. Your next step is to replace the generic dashboard with the smallest workflow a real user can finish.
Minimum launch path
Start with the path that proves the business can work:
| Area | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Auth | A user can sign in with Google and reach the dashboard. |
| Billing | A signed-in user can start checkout and return to the app. |
| Database | Your first product table exists in schema and has generated migrations. |
| Public site | The landing page explains the product in plain language. |
| Legal | Terms, privacy, and refund pages are updated for the actual company. |
Replace template placeholders
Before launch, update the product name, domain, legal company details, Open Graph image, logo, billing plan copy, and this example article.
Open the app dashboard when you want to test the authenticated starter flow.
Keep the first feature small
Do not begin by adding every table you might need. Add one user-visible workflow, make the route useful, and keep the package boundary clear: reusable contracts in packages/*, app composition in apps/*.
Launch readiness
You are ready to replace this article when the generated project has:
- Google sign-in configured.
- Dodo test-mode checkout configured.
- A generated Drizzle migration for your product schema.
- Updated legal pages.
- A product-specific landing page title, description, and CTA.
Questions this article answers
These answers are visible on the page and mirrored in structured data.
No. Replace it with product-specific content before launch. It exists to prove the blog rendering, schema, sitemap, and llms.txt pipeline works in a new project.
No. This starter ships Drizzle schema only. Add your own domain tables first, then generate migrations for the generated project.

The best AI video generator for YouTube Shorts depends on the job. Choose prompt-to-video for faceless channels, clip repurposing for podcasts or webinars, avatar tools for talking-head ads, and editing-first tools when you already have footage.
To make YouTube Shorts with AI, start with one viewer problem, write a tight script, generate or collect vertical visuals, add a natural voice, use readable captions, export in a Shorts-friendly vertical format, and review the final video before publishing.
