About LightningAddon

A production-ready browser extension framework built by Radu Pitis — for developers who want to ship extension SaaS products without rebuilding the same foundation every time.

Radu Pitis

Creator of LightningAddon

I built LightningAddon because every browser extension SaaS needs the same foundation — auth, billing, multi-browser builds, typed messaging — and I was tired of rebuilding it from scratch. LightningAddon is architecture-first product infrastructure, not a disposable template. One codebase, seven browsers, maintainable forever.

Principles

What Drives LightningAddon

Every decision in LightningAddon is guided by these principles — from architecture choices to what ships in each update.

Architecture Over Templates

Templates break after the first real feature. LightningAddon ships production architecture — typed messaging, isolated contexts, versioned storage — that stays maintainable as your product grows.

Multi-Browser by Default

Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Edge, Opera, and Zen all build from one codebase. Cross-browser support is not an afterthought — it is the foundation.

Ship Fast, Maintain Forever

Skip weeks of boilerplate setup. Auth, billing, build system, and monorepo are ready on day one — so you spend your time on the feature that makes your extension worth using.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about LightningAddon — from setup to deployment and beyond.

Full source code for a production-ready Chrome + Firefox + Safari extension SaaS framework — multi-browser builds, provider-agnostic auth (Firebase or Supabase), Stripe billing wired through the service worker, typed runtime messaging, shadow DOM content script isolation, versioned storage migrations, and a manifest permission linter. Plus docs, store submission guides, and lifetime updates. Architecture-first — not a template that falls apart in month two.
No. Both backends are included and have full feature parity — auth, database, cloud functions, Stripe checkout/portal/webhooks, and email. You pick one by setting VITE_AUTH_PROVIDER in your environment. Switching later requires changing one env var, not rewriting application code.
Yes. You only need to configure and deploy the backend you want. The other is simply unused. Both are included so you can switch or migrate without buying anything extra.
Browser extensions have fundamentally different architecture — isolated JS contexts (popup, content script, background, full-page dashboard), service worker billing flows, shadow DOM UI isolation, Chrome/Firefox/Safari manifest differences, and storage migration challenges. No general-purpose boilerplate handles any of that. LightningAddon is built specifically for extension SaaS.
Yes. LightningAddon is a modular Turborepo monorepo — full source code, clean and documented. Swap Firebase for Supabase, change payment providers, add new extension contexts, or rebuild the UI entirely. It's your code.
One payment of $149 (currently reduced from $199). No subscriptions, no hidden costs. You will need your own Supabase or Firebase project, a Stripe account, and Chrome, Firefox & Safari developer accounts — all standard for any extension SaaS.
You get immediate access to a private GitHub repository with the full source code, documentation, and store submission guides. Clone it, run pnpm install && pnpm build:chrome, and you will have a loadable Chrome extension in under 15 minutes. Lifetime updates are delivered through the same repository.
Because the product is full source code delivered via GitHub, refunds are not available once access is granted. That said, the documentation and this site show exactly what is included — the architecture, tech stack, and feature set are fully transparent before purchase.
