Frequently asked questions

The template handles infrastructure and boilerplate. Even 5-10 hours a week is enough to ship a real app.

Yes. Same template across all projects means consistent architecture and minimal context-switching. The discovery pipeline tells you which one to prioritize.

You find out before building. The scoring rubric evaluates demand, competition, and monetization potential. Kill bad ideas early and move to the next one.
