Next.js + Supabase Architecture

The "Boring" Stack

I see devs arguing about HTMX vs React vs Vue. Meanwhile, I'm making revenue with "boring" tech. My boilerplate is optimized for **speed to first dollar**, not GitHub stars.

Project Structure

Keep it flat. Keep it simple.

/app
  /dashboard
    page.js
  /api
    /auth
  page.js
/components
  Button.js
  Pricing.js
/libs
  supabase.js
  stripe.js

Why Supabase?

It handles Auth, Database, and Realtime subscriptions. It's essentially "Backend-as-a-Service" done right. I set up Row Level Security (RLS) policies once, and my frontend is secure. No custom Express servers to maintain.
