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.

Web / Customization

Locales and copy

Use the en/de/es/fr dictionary scaffold for marketing chrome, settings IA, mail, and notification events.

Setup and configuration

Locales live in @starterkit/i18n with SUPPORTED_LOCALES, LOCALE_COOKIE, resolveLocale, getDictionary, and localePath. Proxy sets x-starterkit-locale and handles canonical English redirects; LanguageSwitcher updates the cookie and preserves active sub-paths. Key app routes (/dashboard, /settings, /billing, /chat) work directly under /[locale] prefixes alongside the soft /{locale} marketing home.

Dictionaries cover marketing nav, settings section labels, organization settings chrome, transactional mail (invite/OTP/magic-link/AI/billing), notification preference labels, and in-app notification event copy.

import { getDictionary, resolveLocale, LOCALE_COOKIE } from "@starterkit/i18n";

const locale = resolveLocale([
  cookieStore.get(LOCALE_COOKIE)?.value,
  headers.get("x-starterkit-locale"),
  headers.get("accept-language"),
]);
const copy = getDictionary(locale);

Implementation workflow

Pass locale into server-rendered settings/org pages and into notificationCopyForEvent / auth mail delivery options when available. Keep English as DEFAULT_LOCALE and avoid inventing marketing claims outside dictionary keys.

Transactional mail stays separate from outreach. Expand dictionaries before nesting every marketing route under [locale].

Verification and troubleshooting

Run packages/i18n Vitest, proxy tests, and locale-app-routes tests. Spot-check LanguageSwitcher on / and localized Settings/org/dashboard/billing/chat headings when the locale prefix is de/es/fr.
