    Would you consider to use a premium marketplace code template for your next adventure?

    I am building a high quality FE/BE code template to sell, following the industry best practices. I would like to know your opinion by responding if you would be interested or not, so I can decide if it is worth it or not. I just found Product hunt community and I believe I could have a nice feedback from you :D Note: why a marketplace code template? because is one of the most difficult business to build, and I want to set up an high barrier in my proposal.

    I appreciate any feedback from you! :D More context: I'm using Next.js for the FE, taking advantages of the SSR for performance and SEO. And I'm using Node.js, Typescript and Postgresql for the BE. This means that I'm building a Backend for Frontend approach. Why having a BE if I could handle everything from Next.js as a fullstack tool? because I want to have: 1. More flexibility decoupling the FE and BE. 2. Easier and faster to scale. 3. It's still JavaScript/Typescript language, so no need of a different programming language. 4. I can build a mobile app that integrates with the BE. 5. Deployment independency. Of course, this is a tradeoff which comes with more complexity, having to maintain two different codebases, the communication between the FE and BE engineers usually is something to solve when developing using this BFF approach. But having the cost-benefit trade off, I believe it worth.
