No credit card · No Docker · No Kubernetes · Just a €5/month server.
Why ZeroFluff
Most "launch fast" frameworks still assume you want 47 dependencies, a CI/CD pipeline, and a Slack channel for your side project. ZeroFluff doesn't. It's the system a 10-year dev uses when they finally want to keep the upside.
Ready-made Bootstrap template. Drop in your copy, point your domain, start collecting emails. Done.
A tight validation checklist: landing page, €50 in ads, 20 signups or kill it. No sunk cost, no ego.
Every project is structured for a clean exit. Email list, MRR metrics, readable code. Buyers want boring.
PHP + Bootstrap + vanilla JS. Runs on shared hosting. Handoff-ready without a README the size of a novel.
What we deliberately left out
React, Next.js, Tailwind, Vite, TypeScript, or any build step
Docker, CI/CD pipelines, staging environments
Investor decks, TAM slides, roadmaps nobody asked for
A 40-page onboarding doc before you can do anything
How it works
Five steps. Run them once, learn the rhythm. Then run them again on a different niche.
You don't need the perfect idea. You need a testable hypothesis. ZeroFluff gives you a 10-question niche scorecard to find ones worth €50 in ad spend.
Clone the template. Swap the copy. Set up a form that fires to your inbox. Buy the domain. Ship it. You now have a real URL and a real test.
Google Search, exact match, your core keyword. You're measuring email signups. 20 in two weeks = green light. Under 5 = kill it, no regrets.
PHP, one file, SQLite or MySQL, Bootstrap. Solve exactly one problem. No admin panel, no user roles, no API. Charge before you add features.
At €500/month MRR, it's listable. At €2k/month, you choose. Acquire.com, Flippa, or hold it. ZeroFluff projects are structured to be attractive to buyers from day one.
Early access is free. No pitch, no upsell. Just the system.
No credit card. No Docker. Just zerofluff.tech in your inbox.
