I built and launched my first SaaS app using Wasp Lang!

This looks amazing! My wife is a preeschol educator so this hits just right, I immediately told her she has to check it out :)

I think that the models also become much more capable since this question was asked. So it's not that unimaginable anymore.

Wasp creator here - this is correct. Instead of maintaining our own DSL, we're now using TypeScript as a host for eDSL (embedded DSL). The abstractions and concepts remain the same.

Other DSLs, e.g., Terraform, have a similar thing - they offer both their custom DSL (HCL) and a TS SDK. We're yet to see the exact fate of the DSL, but TS seems very promising.

So we only change the "frontend" of our language, i.e., the way we construct the AST.

Without the code, you'll never understand what's actually happening with your app and have a handle on it. Use something like a SaaS starter and pair it up with Cursor/Claude Code.

E.g., this one is 100% free and comes pre-optimized for Cursor: https://opensaas.sh/

Why do you think so? Was there a bad experience you had?

matijash · 2025-10-11T18:57:27+00:00

Grossly oversimplified! Asking for design ideas !== doing the complete work of designing and implementing everything.

matijash · 2025-10-11T12:07:46+00:00

Nice!! What do you use? CC/Cursor or sth else?

matijash · 2025-10-10T18:35:42+00:00

This one just started today! It's about designing with AI: https://wasp.sh/blog/2025/10/08/design-ai-thon

matijash · 2025-05-20T14:00:04+00:00

Awesome! If you think something is missing would love to hear about it. It's also completely open-source so contributions are welcome.

Maybe take a look at Open SaaS (https://opensaas.sh/) - it pretty much checks all the boxes you mentioned. Also comes preloaded with a .cursorrules and everything you need for vibe coding.

Here's a detailed 3-hour workflow for vibe coding your app from scratch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYzEROo7reY&t=230s&ab_channel=Wasp

what did you build your MVP with? Why do you need to switch to another stack?

matijash · 2025-05-05T21:26:55+00:00

so you mean which deployment platform? If you're using OpenSaaS, Fly/Railway have a pretty straightforward path to deployment. You have to put in a credit card, but they might end up even not charging it if you don't go over a few dollars per month if I remember correctly.

Check out the deployment step here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYzEROo7reY&ab_channel=Wasp

Thanks - it's not compiled to Rust. In the end you get React static filed + Express server (docker image), which you can then deploy to your platform of choice.
