FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q · Indie Hackers
Is Goodspeed a no-code tool?
No. Goodspeed generates real TypeScript and React Native code that you own in your own GitHub repo. You can read, modify, and deploy it yourself.
Q · Indie Hackers
Can I use Goodspeed for free?
Yes. The free plan lets you browse all scored ideas and submit one idea for scoring. No credit card required.
Q · Indie Hackers
What tech stack does Goodspeed use?
React Native with Expo, TypeScript, Supabase for the backend, and RevenueCat for subscriptions. Standard, well-documented tools any developer can work with.
Q · Indie Hackers
How is this different from Cursor or Bolt?
Code editors help you write code faster. Goodspeed handles the full lifecycle: finding what to build, planning it, generating production code, and handling growth.
Q · Indie Hackers
Do I need to know how to code?
It helps, but it is not required. The generated code is clean and well-structured, so even basic TypeScript familiarity is enough to customize it. Non-technical founders use Goodspeed to get a production app without hiring a dev team.
Q · Indie Hackers
What happens after the app is built?
Goodspeed generates an App Store optimized listing from real keyword data, plus social and outreach copy for you to ship. It also builds and tests an over-the-air update path so you can push changes after launch. More growth tooling is rolling out.
Q · Indie Hackers
How does idea validation actually work?
The discovery pipeline pulls signals from 18 sources including app store reviews, Reddit, Product Hunt, and GitHub trends. Each idea is scored on a 100-point rubric covering demand, competition, monetization potential, and technical feasibility.
Q · Indie Hackers
Can I customize the generated code?
Completely. The code lives in your GitHub repo. You can modify any file, add custom features, or swap out dependencies. There is no lock-in and no proprietary runtime.
