The story
Forge Stack was built because writing the same auth, billing, and admin scaffolding on every new product was burning time that should have gone to the parts of the build that actually mattered. A separate fitness-tracking SaaS running on this exact stack is live in production and taking real payments — the code in this package is the version that survived that real-world load, not a tutorial.
The $99-$999 one-time purchase model is deliberate: founders shouldn't pay a monthly fee to skip the part of building they already understand. The webhook signature verification, auth cookie handling, and admin authorization patterns were all written to handle edge cases that demo projects don't surface.
One-liner
"Forge Stack is the Next.js + Supabase + Lemon Squeezy boilerplate extracted from a paying production SaaS — buy it once and skip the auth/billing setup on your next product."
Three bullets
- One-time purchase ($99-$999), not a monthly SaaS fee
- Every line is production-tested code running on a separate live paying SaaS
- Auth, billing, admin, OG images, PWA — the boring infra, already wired

FAQ for journalists
How is this different from Vercel templates or create-next-app?
Vercel templates are demos. Forge Stack is wired production code from a paying SaaS. The webhook handler, auth flow, and admin endpoints are battle-tested, not demo-quality.
Why one-time pricing instead of subscription?
Founders who know what they're doing don't want to pay recurring fees for code they own. The pricing reflects that.
Is the founder actually shipping it?
Yes. A separate fitness-tracking SaaS using this exact stack has been live in production for 2+ years and processes real payments weekly.
Why Lemon Squeezy instead of Stripe or Gumroad?
LS handles global VAT/tax compliance automatically and charges 5% + $0.50 per transaction (cheaper than Stripe at the $99-$999 price point).
How many customers does Forge Stack have?
Public launch is 2026-07-15. Customer count available post-launch.
Why not open source it?
Production-tested code with a license takes ongoing maintenance to keep current with Next.js, Supabase, and Lemon Squeezy releases. The one-time license funds that maintenance.
