Self Starter
A Ruby on Rails template for creating your own crowdfunding website, allowing you to collect pre-orders and payments.
What is Self Starter?
Selfstarter is an open-source Ruby on Rails application that serves as a template for building custom crowdfunding websites. It allows projects to collect pre-orders and process payments independently, solving the need for an alternative to platforms like Kickstarter. The template is highly customizable, enabling creators to tailor the site to their specific product and campaign needs.
Developers, startups, or creators who want to run their own crowdfunding campaigns without relying on third-party platforms and have the technical ability to deploy and customize a Ruby on Rails application.
It provides full control over the crowdfunding process, including payment processing and customer data, while being free and open-source. Unlike proprietary platforms, it avoids fees and restrictions, offering a flexible, self-hosted solution that can be extended with additional features as needed.
