[quote author="Developer13" date="1306016827"]I don't think you're going to find much of a market for that here because these forums cater to developers, and developers tend to have fun writing things on their own and in their own way.[/quote]
Thanks for taking the time to post.
Sure, developers like to write things but the objective of a paid for web app is to make money. It's a business. The primary goal is not fun. So any time savings you can make are invaluable. They get you onto the market quicker, they increase momentum and in turn motivation. Getting your Minimum Viable Product to market and acquiring your first paying customers is the most important thing for a startup. Your idea is validated, or disproved, as you get feedback from real users who challenge or confirm your assumptions. From here you can iterate your idea or pivot if a better business model or idea becomes apparent.
Personally if the 'web app kit' had good testimonials from others I would be prepared to pay. I take your point that developers like to do things in their way, but to me the time saving is far more valuable, and offsets the learning curve to familiarise yourself with someone else code. After all this is the reason why we use frameworks like CI.
