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.

Task API and recovery

Recover an uncertain submission without creating a new task.

Setup and configuration

POST /api/ai/tasks requires an authenticated workspace and active entitlement. A keyed request reserves an immutable task before dispatch. Idempotency-Key accepts 16–128 ASCII letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens.

POST /api/ai/tasks
Idempotency-Key: a-stable-client-submission-key

Recovery body: { "resume": true }
Status: GET /api/ai/tasks/{taskId}

Implementation workflow

Persist the recovery key before submitting. After uncertain dispatch, reuse the same key and the resume body; the server loads the original input and retries the same task-scoped Trigger identity. Changed input under the same key returns 409 idempotencyConflict.

HTTP 202 after an ambiguous enqueue means dispatch is uncertain. It does not prove Trigger accepted the work. Already running or terminal tasks return saved state without another enqueue. Recovery still requires authentication, ownership, and entitlement.

Verification and troubleshooting

Exercise a lost response, changed-input conflict, foreign-workspace request, and refresh restoration. There is no automatic outbox dispatcher or end-to-end exactly-once guarantee. Do not reset a running task to queued without investigating its side effects.
