What exactly do I receive?
The source repository on GitHub, a versioned archive with SHA-256 checksum, and a non-expiring license key, for entitlement and support, not runtime DRM.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. app.superslate.dev runs the same image the scaffold produces. Sign in with your email and explore the real thing: the user table, files, organizations and roles, settings, and the notification inbox. No card required. It is a read-only preview, so writes are disabled and nothing you do changes it for the next visitor. Visitor accounts stay out of the directory, so the accounts listed there are staged data, never other visitors.
What does the license cover?
The Individual license covers one developer. Team covers every developer in one company, for unlimited products that company owns. Neither tier permits client delivery or redistribution of the source. The published license and terms of service govern the purchase, including update eligibility and the fact that sales are final once source access is delivered.
Why Bun and Hono instead of Next.js?
One fast runtime for the API, scripts, and tests; a router on standard web APIs. Your product is a SaaS, not a content site, so an SPA plus a typed API keeps the boundaries clean.
Which coding agents does it work with?
Any of them. The contract is plain artifacts (markdown, JSON, runnable checks) read equally well by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or whatever ships next.
Can I swap or remove parts of the stack?
Yes. It's your source, and there's a golden path for it (remove-optional-subsystem.md). But the defaults are the maintained, tested route.
How does cloud deployment setup work?
The creator can configure deployment immediately or defer it. You choose AWS, GCP, or Azure; a native, Vercel, or Cloudflare static frontend; region; domains; and cost-first or HA. Superslate writes the non-secret config and operator checklist, then removes unused provider paths. Cloud credentials and secret values stay in your provider and protected GitHub environment.
Do I have to use AI agents to benefit?
No. Explicit boundaries, typed contracts, and maintained recipes make a good codebase for humans too. Agents are the multiplier, not the requirement.
How is "agent-ready" more than marketing here?
It ships as artifacts you can inspect: scoped AGENTS.md contracts, maintained golden paths, a deterministic navigation contract, an outcome eval harness, and an optional local read-only context server with six tools for documentation, implementation search, rules, invariants, and verification.
What happens after I buy?
Polar takes the payment. The purchase email carries source-access instructions, the checksummed release details, your license record, and a human recovery contact if automated delivery needs help.
