Question 1

Is Leave Localhost right for my project?

Accepted Answer

It is a strong fit if you are building a SaaS product with TypeScript, React, and Next.js and want auth, billing, teams, permissions, email, and security to work together from day one. It is especially useful for solo founders, small teams, and agencies using AI coding agents. It is not the right starter if you need a Postgres-first backend or do not want to use Convex.

Question 2

Why buy this instead of assembling a starter myself?

Accepted Answer

Because the expensive part is not generating a dashboard. It is making authentication, tenant data, roles, billing entitlements, email, analytics, and security agree across the product. Leave Localhost ships those workflows connected and documented, so you can spend the first weeks on your product instead of integration plumbing.

Question 3

Can I try the real product before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The live demo is the actual starter running in production, not a simplified mockup. Sign in and try workspaces, members and roles, two-factor authentication, billing in test mode, notifications, the audit log, and the super-admin panel before you spend anything.

Question 4

Can I evaluate the code and architecture before buying?

Accepted Answer

The live demo is the real starter deployed, and the public documentation explains the architecture, project structure, security model, and data model in detail. The private source repository is delivered after purchase, but if a specific implementation detail could affect your decision, email us and we will answer it honestly first.

Question 5

What exactly do I get for $59?

Accepted Answer

$59 is a one-time payment. You get the full source code, the private GitHub repository, and future updates. One license covers your whole company and unlimited projects with no per-seat fee. It includes the complete Next.js and Convex foundation, authentication, workspaces, roles, billing adapters, security workflows, email, analytics, shared UI, and 120+ pages of documentation.

Question 6

What if I buy it and it is not right for me?

Accepted Answer

Because the product is delivered as source code, all sales are final once access is granted. That is why the live demo and public architecture documentation are available before purchase. Try the real workflows first, and email us about any uncertainty so you can make the decision with the important questions answered.

Question 7

What is Leave Localhost?

Accepted Answer

It is a Convex-first SaaS starter for Next.js: a TypeScript monorepo that already connects authentication, real-time data, workspaces, permissions, security workflows, billing entitlements, analytics, email, docs, and shared UI.

Question 8

What is the tech stack?

Accepted Answer

A TypeScript monorepo built on Next.js (App Router) and Convex, with Better Auth for authentication, Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for the interface, and Turborepo managing the workspace. Billing ships with Stripe, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy adapters, and analytics runs through an optional PostHog boundary.

Question 9

Does it work with AI coding agents like Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a core design goal. The repo ships AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and Cursor rules, a version-locked skill library, typed Convex contracts, and linter-enforced package boundaries, so agents build to the project's conventions instead of guessing. The same context helps a human reading the code for the first time.

Question 10

Why Convex instead of Postgres or Supabase?

Accepted Answer

Convex owns the database, typed functions, file storage, and background work, and its queries are reactive by default. That removes the seam you would otherwise wire between a database, an ORM, and a separate real-time layer. It is an opinionated choice, not a way to avoid every architecture decision.

Question 11

Do I need to know Convex already?

Accepted Answer

No. If you are comfortable with TypeScript and React, you can be productive quickly: Convex replaces the database, ORM, and real-time layer with typed functions you call directly. The included docs and Convex guidelines cover the patterns the starter uses.

Question 12

Is it only for B2B products?

Accepted Answer

No. It ships personal and team workspace modes together. You can start with a single-user product and enable members, roles, and invitations when the product needs them.

Question 13

How does authentication work?

Accepted Answer

Authentication uses Better Auth, integrated with the Convex backend and the organization model, including two-factor authentication and fresh-session checks for sensitive actions.

Question 14

Which billing providers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Adapters for Stripe, Polar, and Lemon Squeezy are included. You configure one. Verified webhooks map plans to capability grants the app can check, not just stored receipts.

Question 15

What do I get for teams and workspaces?

Accepted Answer

Workspaces with members and invitations, roles and RBAC, and named capability grants that gate product actions, available from the first commit.

Question 16

How are roles and permissions handled?

Accepted Answer

Access is gated by roles and capability-based authorization rather than scattered conditional checks, so new features can reuse the same permission model.

Question 17

What security workflows are included?

Accepted Answer

Two-factor authentication, fresh-session and sensitive-action verification, audit events for consequential changes, and super-admin controls. These are wired into the flows, and there is no compliance-certification claim.

Question 18

Is analytics required?

Accepted Answer

No. Analytics is optional and disabled by default. A provider-neutral boundary loads PostHog only when it is enabled and configured, with a no-op fallback so the app works without it.

Question 19

Where can I deploy it?

Accepted Answer

The Next.js frontend deploys to any Node or edge host, such as Vercel, while Convex runs as the managed backend for your data and functions. You are not locked into a single platform for the app itself.

Question 20

Can I restyle it for my product?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The UI uses semantic shadcn tokens, so you change the theme by editing CSS variables rather than rewriting components. The marketing site uses a scoped theme that does not affect the authenticated app.

Question 21

Can I use it for client projects and more than one product?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your company can use the starter for unlimited products, including products you build for clients, with no per-project or per-seat fees. You can ship the finished product to a client; if the client needs the reusable starter source itself, they need their own license. See the license for the full terms.

Question 22

What happens immediately after I buy?

Accepted Answer

You get read access to the private GitHub repository with the full source code. Clone it, follow the setup guide, and start building. Future improvements arrive in that same repository and are included with your license.

Question 23

How actively is it maintained?

Accepted Answer

Leave Localhost is actively developed by The Localhost Ghost, who builds with it in public on YouTube. Improvements land in the private GitHub repository that every license includes, and releases are documented in the public changelog.

Question 24

What support is included?

Accepted Answer

Email hello@leavelocalhost.com with questions before or after purchase, and open issues in the private GitHub repository once you have access. Bug reports are triaged in the repo, and fixes ship to every customer as updates.
