fireact-dev/main
Open-source SaaS framework (React + Firebase + Stripe) with built-in Claude Code AI skills. Auth, billing, teams, and i18n in one command.
fireact.dev is a scaffold + CLI for React/Firebase/Stripe SaaS apps — auth, teams, subscriptions, and i18n wired up out of the box. The main repo is a monorepo of submodules (source, demo, docs, website) plus a create-fireact-app CLI. The Claude Code skill bundled with every generated project is a genuine differentiator: it ships opinionated playbooks for extending the app with natural language.
1. The Claude Code skill is thoughtfully structured — it ships reference docs on patterns, hooks, and routing so the AI has actual context instead of hallucinating against a blank canvas. 2. The emulator-first local dev setup (Firebase emulators + stripe listen forwarding) is correct and saves hours of production-only debugging. 3. i18n support with 9 locales baked in from day one is rare for a starter kit of this size. 4. Firestore security rules and indexes are part of the scaffold, not an afterthought — most Firebase starters leave you to figure those out yourself.
1. Firebase lock-in is total: auth, database, functions, and hosting are all Firebase. Swapping any one piece out later is a rewrite, not a refactor — this should be obvious to adopters before they commit. 2. Firestore's document model handles simple subscription state fine, but anything involving relational billing data (trials, prorations, dunning) gets messy fast; there's no guidance on that boundary. 3. The repo structure is mostly git submodules pointing at separate repos, so reading the actual source code from this main repo requires chasing commits — not great for first-time contributors. 4. The CI/CD example still uses the deprecated `firebase-action` and `FIREBASE_TOKEN` pattern; the current recommended approach is Workload Identity Federation, and shipping outdated auth patterns in 2026 is a quiet footgun.
