DevStack Pro Quickstart

Get the starter running locally, ship it, then upgrade when you need a commercial license.

1. Clone and configure env

Clone the repo and copy .env.example to .env.local.

Set these values:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL — your Supabase project URL

• NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY — the anon/public key

• Whop API keys — company and app credentials from your Whop dashboard

Keep secrets out of git. Restart the Next.js process after you change env vars.

2. Local migrations

Run your database migrations against the local (or linked) Supabase project before first boot.

Confirm tables and RLS look right, then start the app with npm run dev (or your package manager equivalent) and hit the local URL.

3. Deploy on Vercel

Push to GitHub, import the repo in Vercel, and add the same env vars in the Vercel project settings.

Use a production Supabase project (not local). Redeploy after env changes. Preview deploys should not share production secrets.

4. Upgrade for commercial use

The free download is for evaluation. If you ship a product, take paying customers, or need help with architecture, you need a commercial license.

Use code ship30 at checkout for 30% off as a new customer.

Starter Access is $49. Lifetime All-Access is $79.
