The story
Robbie Hoggan shipped his first SaaS in 2019. Auth and billing took three months of the four-month build. He hated every minute. So when he built FitForge — a fitness-tracking SaaS now running on Next.js, Supabase, and Lemon Squeezy — he extracted the boring infrastructure into a reusable package called Forge Stack. 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.
Forge Stack is not a tutorial. Every line of code in the package is code that's running in production on fitforgehq.com, taking real payments from real users. The webhook signature verification was written to handle real Stripe (then Lemon Squeezy) edge cases. The OG image routes use Satori patterns that were debugged at 3am when a Slack founder complained about Twitter preview cards.
One-liner
"Forge Stack is the Next.js + Supabase + Lemon Squeezy boilerplate that founder Robbie Hoggan extracted from his paying SaaS FitForge — 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 FitForge (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. FitForge at fitforgehq.com has been running on this exact stack for 2+ years and processes real payments weekly.
Why Lemon Squeezy instead of Stripe or Gumroad?
LS handles global VAT/tax compliance automatically, charges 5% + $0.50 per transaction (cheaper than Stripe at $99-$999 price points), and doesn't force Canadian creators into CAD pricing like Gumroad does.
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.
