    From the README

    SeaNotes is a SaaS Starter Kit — a simple, production-ready notes app built with modern tools and fully integrated with DigitalOcean services.

    This repository gives you everything you need to build and launch a real SaaS app on DigitalOcean App Platform. It’s designed to help you get started fast — whether you’re developing locally or deploying to the cloud. SeaNotes includes a complete implementation of a notes app to show how common SaaS features like auth, billing, and storage come together using DO’s infrastructure.

    This is a production-ready SaaS Starter Kit for developers who want to build and launch real products quickly. It includes:

    SeaNotes is both a clean, flexible starting point for your own SaaS and a real-world example of best practices, and how all the core pieces fit together on DigitalOcean.

    The included notes app functionality serves as a practical example of how to build business logic on top of this foundation. It also works really well with tools like ChatGPT or Claude. You can literally point your LLM at this repo and say:

    "Build me something like this, but for [my idea]"

    ....and it'll scaffold your app using similar patterns — auth, billing, storage, GradientAI Serverless Inference API, etc., all running on DigitalOcean.
