PanelForge
The admin panel starter that gets auth and RLS right
PanelForge is a working admin dashboard with real authentication, role-based permissions (Admin/Editor/Viewer), and Row-Level Security enforced at the database level — not just hidden in the UI. Includes generic CRUD, an audit log, and a Supabase migration you run once. Built with Vite, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Supabase. No billing or multi-tenancy — just the foundation done right, ready to rename and extend for your product.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built PanelForge after getting frustrated with admin dashboard starters that fake the hard part — role checks that only live in a useEffect, "auth" that's really just a hardcoded password screen, RLS policies that are actually wide open behind the scenes.
PanelForge does the boring 20% correctly instead: real Supabase Auth, real role-based permissions (Admin/Editor/Viewer) enforced at the database level — not hidden behind a frontend if statement. Turn off the UI entirely and the security still holds. That's the actual test of whether an admin panel is secure.
It deliberately does NOT include billing or multi-tenancy. Those are real, hard problems that deserve a solid foundation of their own — not something bolted onto a shaky base on day one. This is the single-tenant foundation done right, ready to rename and extend for whatever you're actually building.
If you've ever inherited an admin panel where "just check if (user.role === 'admin') in the component" was the entire security model, you know exactly the problem this solves.
Happy to answer anything about the RLS setup, the Supabase migration, or why I left billing out — all in the comments 👇
