DatastarKit — Premium Datastar component library & SaaS starter kit

One-liner: Production-ready UI components and Go SaaS boilerplate for Datastar. Like shadcn/ui but for the Datastar ecosystem.

Target market: Go developers building web apps with Datastar (growing community)

Monetization: $49 one-time personal / $149 team / $299 unlimited. Optional $9/mo for updates + new components.

Why us:

Einar is deep in the Datastar ecosystem and Go
First-mover in a growing framework
Can showcase through our own products (StatusCaster, EventLedger dashboards)

🔍 Market Context

Comparable	Pricing	Notes
shadcn/ui	Free/open source	React/Next.js. Huge community.
Tailwind UI	$299 one-time	Premium Tailwind components. Very successful.
SaaSStartupKit (Go)	Open source	Basic Go SaaS boilerplate.
DeploySolo	Paid Go SaaS kit	PocketBase + htmx.

Gap: Datastar has no component ecosystem yet. Being first with a polished kit = brand positioning + revenue.

Risk: Datastar adoption is still early. Market could be tiny if Datastar doesn't grow.

Time to MVP: 3-4 weeks

Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5) — High risk/high reward bet on Datastar ecosystem growth. Low ongoing cost. Good brand play.
