Draplo — Your next SaaS, architected by AI

Draft it. Deploy it. Open source.

Draplo is an open-source platform where developers describe their SaaS idea through a guided wizard, and AI generates a complete, deployment-ready Laravel project scaffold optimized for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider).

This is NOT a no-code builder. Draplo generates a professional developer scaffold — the same quality output a senior Laravel architect would produce in 2 weeks of planning. You still write the actual application code.

Features

• Guided Wizard — 6-step form with 25 industry templates pre-populated with models, roles, and integrations
• AI Generation — Claude (Anthropic) or Gemini (Google) generates 7+ project files: CLAUDE.md, PROJECT.md, todo.md, architecture, constants, patterns, decisions, migrations, routes
• Code Preview — Syntax-highlighted preview with CodeMirror 6, inline editing before export
• GitHub Export — Push to a private GitHub repo via Git Data API
• ZIP Download — Download your scaffold as a ZIP file
• BYOS Deploy — Bring Your Own Server: auto-provision Hetzner VPS or connect any server with Coolify

AI Provider Configuration

Draplo supports two AI providers. Configure via .env or admin panel:

AI_PROVIDER=anthropic          # or 'gemini'
AI_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-6     # or 'gemini-2.5-pro'
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
GEMINI_API_KEY=AIza...

Admin can switch providers at runtime via GET/PUT /api/admin/settings.

Self-Hosting Guide

Requirements

• Server with 2+ vCPU, 4GB RAM (Hetzner CX22 at ~$4/mo is enough)
• Your own Anthropic or Gemini API key
• GitHub OAuth app (for login)

GitHub OAuth Setup

1. Go to GitHub Settings > Developer Settings > OAuth Apps
2. Create new: Homepage URL = your domain, Callback URL = {domain}/auth/github/callback
3. Copy Client ID and Client Secret to .env

Production Deployment

1. Clone repo to your server
2. Configure .env with production values
3. composer install --no-dev
4. npm run build
5. php artisan migrate --seed
6. Configure nginx/Caddy to serve the app
7. Set up Horizon for queue processing: php artisan horizon
