The Ultimate Laravel Starter Kit for Modern SaaS (VILT) with Shadcn Components (Vue, Inertia & Shadcn)
Larasonic is a Laravel SaaS boilerplate on the VILT stack (Vue + Inertia + TailwindCSS) with Shadcn components. It ships auth, teams, subscriptions, OAuth, magic links, and a Filament admin panel already wired together. Good for skipping the first two weeks of a SaaS project where you'd otherwise be gluing these things together yourself.
1. Tooling baseline is better than most starter kits: PHPStan, Rector, Pint, and ESLint are all pre-configured, so you get static analysis and consistent formatting from commit one.
2. The full Shadcn/Vue component tree is included — not just a handful of components but the entire set (~30+), which means you're not hunting for individual pieces or dealing with version mismatches later.
3. Magic link login alongside OAuth is a thoughtful addition. Most kits pick one; having both means passwordless login is ready without you building it.
4. Filament admin panel is wired in and functional. If you need a back-office for user management, that's a meaningful chunk of work already done.
1. Built on Jetstream with teams baked in, which is painful to remove if your SaaS is single-tenant. The team model bleeds into migrations, policies, and action classes — plan on hours of untangling if teams aren't your use case.
2. The 'AI Integration Ready' claim amounts to a config/prism.php and a ChatController stub. There is no actual AI feature here — it's scaffolding that implies capability without delivering it.
3. The README is a bullet list with zero architectural explanation. No guidance on when to use Octane, what the OAuth providers look like in practice, or how subscriptions map to Cashier. You'll be reading source to understand what you actually got.
4. Six months since the last push (Dec 2025) is a concern. Laravel, Inertia, and Vue all moved meaningfully in that window, and there's no indication this is actively maintained.
