Frequently asked questions

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.

Email provider configuration

Configure transactional delivery and verify its independent outcome.

Setup and configuration

EMAIL_PROVIDER=local keeps deterministic delivery local. For configured production delivery, review the Resend or SES adapter and provide its server credentials. EMAIL_FROM must match the identity verified with the selected provider.

EMAIL_PROVIDER=local
EMAIL_FROM=supastack <hello@example.test>
# Production adapter configuration is listed in .env.example.

Implementation workflow

Authentication and completion messages use the transactional email boundary. Outreach workflows belong to the consuming product and remain separate. Never reuse this path as an unreviewed bulk messaging subsystem.

Record delivery separately from generation. A model result can be available while its completion message fails. Recovery must inspect delivery state instead of generating the same result again.

Verification and troubleshooting

Verify recipient restrictions, sender identity, and provider errors in a dedicated test environment. A local adapter result is not evidence of real email delivery. The opt-in smoke path restricts recipients through REAL_SMOKE_EMAIL_ALLOWED_DOMAIN.
