Question 1

What do I need to get started?

Accepted Answer

You need Node.js 18+, a Supabase account (free tier works), and optionally a Stripe account for payments. Clone the repo, run the setup script, and you're ready to build.

Question 2

How long does the initial setup take?

Accepted Answer

Most developers are up and running in under 10 minutes. The setup script handles environment configuration, database migrations, and dependency installation automatically.

Question 3

Can I use this for commercial projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The license allows you to use this starter for unlimited commercial and personal projects. Build and sell as many products as you want.

Question 4

Is there a free tier or trial?

Accepted Answer

The Starter plan is completely free and includes the core boilerplate, basic UI components, authentication setup, and community support. Upgrade to Pro when you need payments, premium components, and priority support.

Question 5

What tech stack does this use?

Accepted Answer

The starter is built with Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Supabase for auth and database, and Stripe for payments. It uses Turbo for monorepo management.

Question 6

Why Next.js 16 and React 19?

Accepted Answer

Next.js 16 brings improved performance with Turbopack, better Server Components support, and streamlined APIs. React 19 adds server actions, improved hooks, and better concurrent features — all of which this starter takes full advantage of.

Question 7

How is the monorepo structured?

Accepted Answer

The project uses Turborepo with the Next.js web app plus shared packages for types, hooks, utilities, API clients, and design tokens. This keeps code organized and reusable across the codebase.

Question 8

How do I customize the design?

Accepted Answer

The design system is built on Tailwind CSS with semantic design tokens. Change colors, typography, and spacing from a single theme configuration file. All components adapt automatically.

Question 9

Can I swap out the backend services?

Accepted Answer

The architecture uses clean abstractions through the API client package. While Supabase and Stripe are pre-configured, the service layer can be adapted to other providers like Firebase, Clerk, or Paddle with focused changes.

Question 10

How do I add new features or pages?

Accepted Answer

Follow the existing patterns in the App Router — create a new route folder, add a server component page, and compose with the included UI components. The project includes 50+ pre-built components to accelerate development.

Question 11

Can I use my own UI component library?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Untitled UI components are included and recommended, the Tailwind-based styling means any component library that works with Tailwind (shadcn/ui, Radix, Headless UI) can be integrated alongside or as a replacement.

Question 12

How do I deploy to production?

Accepted Answer

The project includes CI/CD pipelines for GitHub Actions. Push to the main branch to trigger a production deploy to Vercel, or use the included deployment scripts for other platforms like Railway or Fly.io.

Question 13

Can I deploy to platforms other than Vercel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While Vercel is the recommended platform with zero-config deployment, Next.js apps can be deployed to any Node.js hosting provider including Railway, Fly.io, AWS, or self-hosted with Docker.

Question 14

Is the authentication production-ready?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Authentication is powered by Supabase Auth with support for email/password, magic links, OAuth providers, MFA, and session management. Row Level Security policies protect your database.

Question 15

Do you offer support and updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get access to ongoing updates, bug fixes, and new features. Community support is available through GitHub Discussions, and priority support is available on Pro plans.

Question 16

Is the app mobile-responsive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every page and component is built with responsive design using Tailwind CSS breakpoints. The UI adapts to mobile, tablet, and desktop screen sizes out of the box.

Question 17

What does the Pro plan include?

Accepted Answer

Pro includes everything in Starter plus Stripe payment integration, 50+ premium UI components, email templates, priority support, and lifetime updates. It is designed for developers who are serious about shipping.
