+
+Peter is the creator of [**TurboReel**](https://turboreelgpt.tech/), an open-source platform with a paid SaaS layer, that transforms how creators generate short-form video content. With just a prompt, users can produce polished TikToks and YouTube Shorts in moments.
+
+But like any SaaS founder, Peter faced the challenge of turning his vision into reality without getting bogged down in repetitive technical setup. That’s where [**Wasp’s Open SaaS boilerplate**](https://opensaas.sh/) came in.
+
+In this post, we'll cover three main things: what gave Peter the idea, how he chose the tech stack to build on, and finally, how he made his first $100. Let's dive in!
+
+## The Starting Point: Open SaaS Boilerplate
+
+Peter’s journey to Open SaaS began with a simple Google search for SaaS boilerplates. 
+
+> *"I was looking for something that could save me time,"* Peter recalls. *"I came across a few options—some were free but basic, and [others were paid but didn’t feel worth it](https://docs.opensaas.sh/blog/2024-12-04-open-source-saas-boilerplate-vs-paid/). Then I found Wasp’s Open SaaS boilerplate."*
+
+What stood out to Peter wasn’t just that it was free, but that it was **open source**. *"I liked the idea of building on something maintained by a community, not locked behind a paywall,"* he says. Intrigued, Peter explored [Wasp](https://wasp-lang.dev/) further and discovered an engaging community that offered exactly what he needed to start building TurboReel.
+
+Here’s a video presenting Open SaaS, generated with TurboReel 🐝
+
+<VideoPlayer src={opensaas} />
+
+## TurboReel’s Tech Stack
+
+TurboReel lets users generate short explainer videos with minimal effort. Starting with a single text prompt describing the video’s purpose (e.g., “Create a video on building your SaaS with OpenSaaS”), users can produce professional-grade TikTok and YT shorts without needing any video editing skills.
+
+<VideoPlayer src={interface} />
+
+The platform’s **open-source foundation** unlocks development potential, while the **paid SaaS layer** helps with funding.
+
+Here’s a closer look at the tech stack behind TurboReel:
+
+- **Open SaaS - a free, open-source React & Node.js SaaS starter**
+  - Powered by [Wasp](https://wasp-lang.dev/), a full-stack web framework for JavaScript.
+  - Combines **React** for the frontend and **Node.js** for backend.
+  - [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) handles the database.
+- **OpenAI**
+  - Used for generating scripts and scenes in the videos.
+- [**Pollinations**](https://pollinations.ai/)
+  - Open-source platform for image and text generation.
+  - Provides creative assets to enhance video quality.
+- [**Revideo**](https://re.video/)
+  - Library for programmatic video creation, replacing the previously used **MoviePy**.
+
+## Building Faster With Open SaaS Boilerplate
+
+*"The first thing that impressed me with Open SaaS was how much time it saved,"* Peter says. *"I could start with `wasp new saas` and immediately have a functioning boilerplate. It gave me the foundation I needed to focus on my product, not the setup."*
+
+The boilerplate included everything he needed:
+
+- **Authentication via email, GitHub, and Google**
+- **Running background jobs via pg-boss**
+- **Database management**
+- **Frontend-backend communication via a type-safe RPC layer**
+- **Deployment of the app with a single CLI command**
+
+One feature that particularly stood out was **Wasp’s deployment commands**. 
+
+> "Usually, deployment takes time to set up properly," Peter explains. "But with Wasp, it was as simple as running `wasp deploy fly deploy`."
+
+Here’s what Wasp's config file looks like, showcasing full-stack auth in a Wasp app:
+
+```wasp
+app myApp {
+  wasp: {
+    version: "^0.15.0"
+  },
+  title: "My App",
+  auth: {
+    userEntity: User,
+    methods: {
+      gitHub: {},
+      email: {
+        fromField: {
+          name: "My App Postman",
+          email: "hello@itsme.com"
+        },
+        emailVerification: {
+          clientRoute: EmailVerificationRoute
+        },
+        passwordReset: {
+          clientRoute: PasswordResetRoute
+        },
+      },
+    },
+    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Out-of-the-box Stripe Integration
+
+Another significant advantage for Peter was how Open SaaS handled third-party integrations. Setting up services like [**Stripe for payments**](https://docs.opensaas.sh/guides/payments-integration/) often requires a lot of effort, but Wasp’s Open SaaS streamlined the process—just add your API key and you're good to go.
+
+> *"Payments are usually a huge headache,"* Peter says. *"But Open SaaS made it so smooth. I didn’t have to spend weeks integrating Stripe—it just worked. That gave me more time to focus on TurboReel’s core functionality."*
+
+## The Power of Open Source
+
+Both TurboReel and Wasp share a commitment to open source.
+
+> *"The video generation space is complex,"* Peter explains. *"There aren’t many established solutions for what I’m trying to do. [By making TurboReel open source](https://github.com/TurboReel), I’m inviting smart people to collaborate and help push the project forward."*
+
+## Getting First Users
+
+Peter found interesting subreddits on Reddit and shared his product with users. He enabled everyone to sign up and create a few videos to get feedback early. Many in the creator community loved it, and based on their feedback, he iterated, improving the UI and workflow. 
+
+Within days, he secured his first paying customers, validating that his MVP was heading in the right direction. Plans for the future? The sky is the limit!
