New opensaas walkthrough vid needed.
Opensaas devs please do a new walkthrough detailing how to personalize the opensaas template and detail debugging steps for whatever errors may arise. Integration of an llm other than openai's chatgpt llm would also be helpful as it would be so easy to deploy a useful saas if only the learning curve wasn't so steep. If I have a guide start to finish with debugging examples I would be good.

Hi @Recapdb. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I understand you're looking for more comprehensive guidance on customizing the OpenSaaS template. Based on the knowledge sources, there isn't a specific walkthrough video mentioned, but I can share what information is available about personalizing the OpenSaaS template.
Current OpenSaaS Documentation
The OpenSaaS template is a starter template for Wasp that includes features like Stripe Payments, OpenAI GPT API, Google Auth, SendGrid, Tailwind, and Cron Jobs. You can create a new project with it using:
There are some documentation resources available:
- Authentication guide: OpenSaaS Authentication Docs
- Deployment guide: OpenSaaS Deployment Docs
Customizing OpenSaaS
From the discussions in the knowledge sources, the recommended approach for customizing OpenSaaS is:
1. Start with the full template and remove parts you don't need, rather than building up from scratch
2. For the admin dashboard, you can find all the code in
src/client/admin Discord
For adding new pages and actions (which seems to be a common pain point), you can refer to the Wasp tutorial on queries: Wasp Queries Tutorial
Common Issues
Several users have encountered issues with:
- Docker setup for the database
- Authentication methods (username/password vs. email)
- CORS issues when running in environments like Gitpod
- Integrating with different LLMs
Feedback from the Community
There's been feedback that more detailed tutorials would be helpful, especially for:
- Adding new pages and actions on top of OpenSaaS
- Integrating third-party APIs
- Customizing the UI with existing React templates
The Wasp team seems receptive to improving documentation and has asked for specific suggestions on what would be most helpful.
While I don't have information about a new walkthrough video being planned, your request for more detailed guidance on customization and debugging is aligned with feedback from other community members.
I hope this helps provide some context on the current state of OpenSaaS documentation. If you have specific questions about particular aspects of customization, I'd be happy to try to help with the information available.
