Independent, Open-Source & Built to Scale
We believe founders shouldn't spend \$50–\$200/month on bloated site builders just to test a new business idea.
Our Mission
LaunchFlow was created to give entrepreneurs, consultants, and indie builders a clean, reusable web application starter project to test ideas with \$0 initial software costs.
Instead of locking you into proprietary drag-and-drop site builders like Showit or maintaining vulnerable WordPress installations, this project provides a clean codebase based on open web standards: HTML5, CSS3, modular JavaScript, and serverless edge functions.
Foundational Security Practices (Demo Baseline)
This starter implements baseline defensive practices, with clear requirements before handling live user data:
- 🛡️ Zero Hardcoded Secrets: No API keys, passwords, or credentials exist in the client repository.
- 🛡️ Environment Variables: Production secrets are managed via
.envor Cloudflare Dashboard. - 🛡️ Honeypot Bot Trap: Invisible form fields catch automated spammers without frustrating human users with CAPTCHAs.
- 🛡️ IP-Based Edge Rate Limiting: In-memory rate limiting reduces automated form spam (5 requests / 10 min).
- 🛡️ Security Headers: Pre-configured
_headersfile with HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security), X-Frame-Options (DENY), and X-Content-Type-Options (nosniff). - ⚠️ Production Review Required: Authentication and data stores in this starter are labeled demo mocks. Connect an external database and real identity provider before production launch.
