What is supastack?

supastack is a modular foundation for building AI-powered SaaS products. It brings together common infrastructure so you can focus on product-specific features.

Does it support web and mobile?

Yes. supastack includes Next.js and Expo apps as starting points for web and mobile experiences.

What authentication is included?

Better Auth covers email/password, OTP, and social sign-in. Personal workspaces are provisioned with the account so product records stay scoped from day one.

How does it support AI?

supastack includes configurable multi-provider AI, usage tracking, budgets, and encrypted bring-your-own-key support.

How are subscriptions handled?

For products built on the kit, Stripe billing, subscriptions, and entitlements form the paid-access foundation. Provider secrets stay server-only.

Where does my product-specific code live?

Product-specific features remain in a separate codebase while the product configures and integrates supastack’s foundation modules.

How does supastack pricing work?

The kit is a one-time purchase with lifetime updates: One Framework at $249 or All Frameworks (Next.js, iOS, Android) at $499, plus $75 per extra developer seat. No kit subscription. Checkout on this site is not connected yet.

How do workspaces scope my data?

User-owned records are scoped by workspaceId. Identity, entitlements, AI usage, billing events, and audit entries stay inside the personal workspace boundary.

How do background jobs work?

Trigger.dev is the explicit job runtime. The JobRunner contract only promises enqueue, status, and cancel—workflow semantics stay Trigger.dev-specific and explicit.

How is email different from outreach?

Transactional email covers product workflows such as completion notices. Cold outreach and campaigns are product concerns outside this kit’s email module.

Can mobile expose Stripe Checkout?

Not yet. Mobile must not present Stripe Checkout until RevenueCat exists. Web can use Stripe for subscriptions and entitlements when billing is configured.

Where do AI provider keys live?

Bring-your-own-key credentials are encrypted and stay server-only. Keys are redacted from logs; usage and budgets remain visible at the workspace level.

Mobile / Getting started

Mobile overview

An Expo surface connected to the same server-owned foundation.

Share contracts, keep native presentation

The Expo application lives in apps/mobile. It consumes the shared foundation through an API rather than embedding server credentials. Native authentication, session storage, deep links, and entitlement presentation have their own client modules.

Configure the API and app scheme

Set EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL to an API origin reachable by your emulator or physical device. Localhost on a phone refers to that phone, so use the appropriate reachable development host. EXPO_PUBLIC_APP_SCHEME identifies the app’s deep-link scheme.

Review apps/mobile/app.config.ts and the authentication configuration before testing callbacks. Public Expo values are bundled into the client and must contain no provider secrets.

Verify on the target device

Run deterministic session-storage, deep-link, and entitlement tests first. Then verify the actual sign-in return path, session restoration, and sign-out in the intended native build.

Physical-device and provider acceptance are separate from the local web golden path. Track them explicitly for each release target.
