FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Q · Side Project Builders
How much time do I need?
Goodspeed removes the biggest time sinks (setup, infrastructure, and marketing prep) so the limited time you do have goes to building and shipping, not plumbing.
Q · Side Project Builders
Can I run multiple side projects?
Yes. A shared foundation across all projects means consistent architecture and minimal context-switching. The discovery pipeline tells you which one to prioritize.
Q · Side Project Builders
What if my side project idea is bad?
You find out before building. The scoring rubric evaluates demand, competition, and monetization potential. Kill bad ideas early and move to the next one.
Q · Side Project Builders
Do I have to run the servers?
No. Goodspeed provisions the backend during the build and operates it after launch, so none of your evenings go to infrastructure. If you want it hosted for you, managed hosting is billed on what the app actually uses, and the current rate is on the pricing page. Self-hosting stays open: export the source to your GitHub and run it wherever you like.
