FAQ

What is SteerCode?

SteerCode is an AI-powered platform that lets you create websites and native mobile apps in plain language. You describe what you want; SteerCode generates, runs, and helps you iterate until it fits your needs.

What can I build with SteerCode?

From landing pages to full-stack tools and production-ready mobile apps—if you can describe it, you can likely build it. Start small and add features incrementally for best results.

Do I need coding experience?

No. SteerCode works for all skill levels. Developers can still dive into code, connect integrations, and export/download codebases.

How do I create a project?

On the dashboard, click New project and describe what you want to build. SteerCode generates a starting point you can refine via chat. See Build Your First App.

Can I start from templates or remix?

Yes. You can start from AI instructions, evolve an existing project, or adapt patterns you like. (Public projects and showcases help you learn fast.)

How do I build efficiently with SteerCode?

Be clear and specific about features and target users - Focus on one feature at a time - Build incrementally and test often - Use design cues or style references if UI matters See Planning best practices.

How should I write prompts for best results?

Specify pages/screens, data fields, and user flows - Name any APIs or integrations you expect - Provide sample data or formats - Mention device features (camera, location, etc.) if needed

What should I do when I hit an error?

Ask SteerCode to investigate — describe what you see (error text, steps to reproduce). 2) Iterate the fix — if the first attempt doesn’t resolve it, provide logs or constraints (e.g., “must keep Supabase schema unchanged”).
Rollback the change — if the issue persists, ask SteerCode to revert the last set of changes or regenerate the feature in smaller steps.
Fix attempts and investigations use credits.

What is refactoring and why is it useful?

Refactoring improves structure and maintainability without changing behavior. It can: - Remove duplication and dead code - Improve performance and reliability - Make future changes safer and faster

Can I connect a backend and store data?

Yes. We recommend Supabase for auth and database. See Integrations.

Can I add login to my website or app?

Yes. Ask SteerCode to add authentication (e.g., email/password, social sign-in) using Supabase. Follow the generated steps or the Integrations guide.

Can I add third-party APIs (OpenAI, Stripe, etc.)?

Yes. Mention the APIs in your prompt. SteerCode will scaffold calls and the structure you need. See Integrations.

Where should I store API keys and secrets?

Never hardcode secrets. Use environment variables and secret managers. If you use Supabase, store keys in Supabase secrets and call them from Edge Functions. See Secrets.

How do I add payments?

Ask SteerCode to set up Stripe and the relevant flows (checkout, webhooks). Follow the prompts and secure your keys. See Integrations.

How can I improve SEO for my site?

Use semantic HTML, meaningful titles/descriptions, fast load times, and clear content hierarchy. Generate Open Graph images, sitemaps, and robots.txt as needed. Publish on a custom domain for credibility. See Custom domains and Publish.

How long does a project take?

It depends on complexity. You move fastest by breaking work into small tasks, testing after each change, and iterating based on feedback.
