I noticed I had zero leverage. Same decisions, different codebase, no compounding value. This is how I broke that cycle.
Developer from Aotearoa, a small island nation off the coast of Antarctica, shipping bits and bytes to the world. Over 11 years building in product teams, I noticed the same pattern: every new idea starts from the same place.
Auth, billing, admin, email. Different codebase, same decisions made somewhere else. I built the foundation once, maintained it properly, and turned it into a product. Eleven years of decisions, packaged. My investment is your head start.

Stop rebuilding the foundation
Indie hackers and solo founders rebuild the same stack on every project. That is not a skill gap. It is a structural problem with how we start things.
Auth. Admin. Billing. Email. The same decisions, different codebase, two months burned before a single line of product code. Every new idea pays the same infrastructure tax before it gets a fair chance to fail or succeed on its actual merits.
Genesis breaks the pattern. One foundation, decisions already made, maintained upstream. When something improves it flows to every project built on it. Stop paying the tax. Start on the thing that is actually yours.
Deliberate choices, not defaults

Everything decided, nothing locked in
Genesis ships with auth, billing, background jobs, AI, and every production layer already wired. Fix something upstream once and every project built on it inherits the improvement.
Authentication
Better Auth with social login, email/password, magic links, and session management - wired and working before you write a line of product code.
Role-Based Access
Fine-grained permissions per route and tRPC procedure, ready for multi-tenant from day one.
User Profiles
Profile pages, avatar uploads, and account settings wired and styled out of the box.
Onboarding Flow
Step-by-step onboarding captures intent and routes users before they see the app.
Admin Panel
Manage users, roles, and feature flags from a protected dashboard built into the template.
Audit Logs
Every auth event and admin action logged with full context for compliance and debugging.
Component System
olwibaCN primitives: accessible, token-driven, and battle-tested across projects. Extend or swap without rewriting.
Theming & Dark Mode
One theme file, full dark mode, zero patching - every component respects the tokens.
Documentation
Built-in docs site running on olwibaDOCS. Ship your docs alongside your product from day one.
Blog
MDX-powered blog with list, detail, RSS, and changelog ready at `/blog` and `/changelog`.
Fully Customisable
Swap themes, extend components, or pull primitives directly - nothing is sealed away.
Motion & Animations
Scroll-triggered fade-ins and staggered reveals baked into every block - no animation library to configure.
Database
Prisma ORM on PostgreSQL: type-safe queries, schema migrations, and a typed client generated straight from your schema.
Transactional email via Resend with React Email templates for auth, onboarding, and notifications.
Background Jobs
Async task queue for heavy work - keep request paths fast without pulling in external dependencies.
tRPC API
End-to-end type-safe procedures shared between server and client with no codegen step.
File Uploads
Presigned uploads straight to S3-compatible storage, wired into the existing auth context.
Webhooks
Receive and process inbound webhooks at typed REST endpoints with signature verification already wired.
Payments
Polar integration for one-time and subscription billing with webhook handling and entitlement checks included.
AI Chat
Built-in AI chat interface powered by the Vercel AI SDK, ready to connect to any LLM provider.
Feature Flags
Per-user and per-role flags stored in the database, readable server-side and client-side with no third-party service.
MCP Server
Model Context Protocol server for AI agent tooling, exposed as a typed endpoint alongside your tRPC API.
REST API
Typed REST routes alongside tRPC for external consumers, webhooks, and integrations that cannot use the RPC layer.
Analytics
Page view and conversion event tracking ready to extend - connect any provider or lean on the built-in event layer.
