This is probably not the best place to ask this question, but as a solo founder or just to reduce costs/time are there some standard free software packages that are used when creating sites? For example most sites need a user sign up mechaism, a authN and authX mechanism to gate access to different pages. Are there open source projects that provide this? Or do site owners develop these from scratch every time?

Depending on your software stack, there are several open source projects that can provide functionality out of the box. If you don't mind paying just a little bit of money, you can get even more out of the box SaaS like functionality with tools like Jumpstart (if you're using Rails). https://jumpstartrails.com/ https://jumpstartrails.com/

Depends on the framework you use. Rails and Django have a lot of this built in or as widely used plug-ins. In node.js you have to do a lot from scratch every time, or you can use a service that provides this like Auth0

You might find this useful - https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld Different framework implementations of a CRUD website with authentication. A lot of popular web frameworks have basic authentication out of the box & easily allow you to tie free authentication with accounts like Google, Microsoft, and many others. There are also paid alternatives that may save you more money than the free ones if you need advanced authorization controls or other features. Most devs probably have a collection of ways they've done it in the past that they pull from when needing to adjust from the default framework's methods.

This looks pretty good if using Laravel: https://spark.laravel.com/ https://spark.laravel.com/

  Any personal experience with Supabase? Looks cool

    Used supabase on a few side projects. Overall had a great experience with it. Would recommend.

It’s still in the early stages, but Blitz[1] is a Rails-esque framework that expands on Next.js to add things like authn/authz [1]: https://blitzjs.com/ https://blitzjs.com/
