## What it is
Wave is an open-source SaaS starter kit and framework built on Laravel, Livewire, and Tailwind CSS. It ships with authentication, billing and subscriptions (Stripe/Paddle), roles and permissions, user profiles, an admin panel, blog, changelog, themes, and a plugin system so developers can launch a SaaS product quickly.

## Use cases
- launch a SaaS product with subscriptions and billing
- build a Laravel app with auth and Stripe payments out of the box
- start a SaaS with an admin panel and user roles
- create a subscription-based website with plans and billing
- ship a SaaS MVP without rebuilding boilerplate features
- add a blog and changelog to a SaaS product for SEO
- extend a SaaS app with a plugin and theme system

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Laravel codebase with auth, billing, subscriptions, and admin already wired in
- you prefer PHP/Laravel, Livewire, and Tailwind CSS for your stack
- you need Stripe or Paddle subscription billing with plan-based roles
- you want themes and plugins to customize the look and functionality quickly

## When to avoid
- you are not building a SaaS-style product with users and billing
- you use a stack other than PHP/Laravel
- you need full control over architecture and would rather assemble your own components
- you require a headless or API-only backend without server-rendered views
