I got tired of rebuilding the same admin panel for every project, so I packaged it
Every new idea I start hits the same wall in the first 30-40 hours: auth, role-based permissions, and some kind of admin table to manage data. None of it is the actual product, but all of it has to exist before real work starts.
So I built PanelForge — an admin dashboard starter kit with real auth, database-level role permissions (Postgres RLS), and dynamic custom fields you can add from the UI without touching code. Built with React, TypeScript, and Supabase.
It's $129, one-time, full source code. Still very early — no sales yet, just shipped it and starting to share it around. Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the idea, the pricing, or anything that looks off.

1$129 seems to be selling time saved more than features. Have you tested whether buyers care most about the hours saved, or the specific auth/RLS setup?a day ago Reply

1Honestly, mostly the auth/RLS setup — that's the specific pain that made me build this in the first place. Time saved is real too, but it's downstream of that: most devs I've talked to have built the "records table with a login screen" part a dozen times, it's fast. What actually eats hours is getting role-based permissions right at the database level instead of just hiding buttons in the UI — and re-verifying it's actually secure once you're done. I haven't formally split-tested the pricing against either message, but it's a fair point — I should probably lead harder with the RLS angle specifically rather than "saves you time" generically. Appreciate the push, that's useful.15 hours ago Reply

1That distinction is more interesting than the generic time-saving pitch, especially since the RLS problem is what actually triggered the purchase/build. I’d be interested in digging into how you’re validating that positioning privately. What’s the best email to reach you on?5 hours ago Reply
