Hi, I'm Eben 👋

I build opinionated, production-ready starters for .NET developers — the
foundation you wish every project started from. For nearly a decade my
QuickApp template (1.3k★) has helped
thousands of teams skip weeks of boilerplate. NetForge
is where that work lives now — rebuilt for 2026.

Meet NetForge

A modern ASP.NET Core 10 + React 19 starter for line-of-business apps that
looks like a real product on the first run — not a scaffold you spend a month
making presentable.

Out of the box: authentication & fine-grained RBAC, a server-driven
data grid, theming + dark mode, i18n / RTL, audit trails, real-time
notifications, dashboards, webhooks, multi-tenancy, 2FA/OAuth — every screen
designed, responsive, and dark-mode-ready.

"But can't AI just build this now?"

The fair question of 2026 — so here's the honest answer. AI can generate code,
but pointed at an empty repo it produces inconsistent code: a different shape
for every feature, no conventions, nothing to review against. NetForge is the
missing foundation that makes your AI assistant actually good. One uniform
vertical-slice architecture, written-down conventions, and a copy-me template
for every layer — so a single prompt lands a whole feature (backend, UI,
permissions, tests) that's idiomatic and reviewable.

A great, consistent starting point didn't get less valuable when AI arrived.
It got more valuable. That's the bet NetForge makes.

What your sponsorship unlocks

The Community edition is free and MIT — a complete single-team starter on
its own. Sponsoring unlocks NetForge Pro: the full feature set (global
search, audit, dashboards, webhooks, notifications, multi-tenancy, advanced
auth, file uploads, export/import, PWA + a sample domain) and the configurator
that scaffolds exactly the edition you want.

This isn't a donation jar — it's the most generous deal I could offer: a serious,
maintained product in exchange for keeping its development funded. Sponsor at
any tier and Pro unlocks instantly.

Thank you

Every sponsorship goes directly into keeping NetForge current with a fast-moving
stack and shipping the next feature. Solo dev or whole team — welcome, and thank
you. You're what makes this sustainable. 💛
