Documentation
Run, configure, and deploy the standalone TanStack Start template with Supabase Auth, Postgres, Stripe and Polar billing, and template-local tooling.
Start with the working template
This documentation is for the standalone CoreMVP TanStack Start template. It keeps the UI, an embedded Hono API, server-only services, and customer-facing pages in one deployable application.
Supabase Auth and Postgres, Drizzle repositories, Stripe and Polar lifetime and
subscription billing, Docs, Blog, and the template-local ./coremvp tooling are
already wired. Start by running the app locally, then configure the providers
your product needs. See the hosted deployment status.
Fastest path
Run locally
Install the template, start local Supabase, sync env, and open the app.
Configure the app
Find the app, Supabase, database, billing, email, and test settings.
Deploy to Vercel
Read the hosted deployment guidance and status.
What is already wired
- Authentication — Supabase Auth sessions, email and password flows, and configurable OAuth providers.
- Billing — Stripe and Polar checkout for lifetime and subscription products, webhook handling, and persisted access state.
- Application data — Supabase Postgres with Drizzle models, repositories, and server-only services.
- Product surfaces — Landing, pricing, sign-in, sign-up, dashboard, Docs, and Blog routes ready to customize.
- Template tooling —
./coremvpcommands for env sync, database checks, repair seeds, and focused proof. Provider CLIs own provider projects and deployments.
