SaaS Pegasus—the original Django boilerplate—now has an open source edition
Hey r/django
Cory from SaaS Pegasus here. I’m very excited to announce that SaaS Pegasus now has a free and open source (MIT-licensed) edition!
What you get out-of-the-box is the core of Pegasus: a ready-to-use Django project foundation built for the modern era. This is the same project setup that has powered thousands of production apps built on the proprietary version of Pegasus—with sensible, modern default tooling (uv, vite, ruff, mypy, agent skills, etc.), and the essential batteries included (auth, Tailwind, DRF, Celery, etc.).
You can view the repo on Github here: https://github.com/saaspegasus/django-boilerplate/
If you want to customize anything about the generated project you can do that by creating a free account on https://www.saaspegasus.com/. There’s even an agent-friendly CLI to manage your projects from Claude Code/Codex. :)
Check it out and let me know if you have any feedback! I’m super excited to finally be able to share this project publicly for the first time. Also happy to answer any questions/comments here.
