Template Marketplace

Full-stack app templates with Postgres schema, Hasura metadata, and Flutter starter. Browse, install, and publish from the CLI.

Templates are full-stack app packages you can install in one command. Each one includes a Postgres schema, Hasura metadata, seed data, and an optional Flutter starter app.

Browse at nself.org/docs/templates or from the CLI.

Install a template

nself init --template saas-starter ./my-app

The CLI downloads the template from the registry, verifies the SHA256 checksum, and extracts it into ./my-app. Then install the required plugins and start:

cd my-app
nself plugin install auth notify cms
nself start

Browse available templates

nself template list
nself template list --category saas
nself template list --free
nself template info saas-starter

Paid templates

Some templates cost a one-time fee. They require an active ɳSelf+ license:

nself license set nself_pro_<your-key>
nself init --template marketplace-starter ./shop

Template manifest

Every template ships a template.yml at its root:

slug: saas-starter
display_name: SaaS Starter
description: Multi-tenant SaaS with billing, auth, and dashboard
version: "1.2.0"
price_usd: 0
category: saas
required_plugins:
  - auth
  - notify
  - cms
preview_url: https://saas-starter-demo.nself.org
cli_min_version: "1.0.9"

Update a template

After installing a template, apply incremental schema migrations when the template author releases an update:

nself template update --dry-run   # preview pending migrations
nself template update              # apply additive migrations
nself template update --force      # allow destructive migrations (with confirmation)

Publish your own template

Package your project as a template and earn 80% revenue share on paid templates.

Create template.yml at your project root.
Build the tarball:

tar -czf dist/my-template.tar.gz schema/ metadata/ seed/ flutter/

Validate and prepare for submission:

nself template publish --tarball dist/my-template.tar.gz

Track the submission with nself template status (see Templates).
