# FAQ

> Frequently asked questions about SteerCode

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need coding experience?">
    No. SteerCode works for all skill levels. Developers can still dive into code,
    connect integrations, and export/download codebases.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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{" "}
    <a href="/getting-started/build-your-first-app">Build Your First App</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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{" "}
      <a href="/how-to/plan">Planning best practices</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What should I do when I hit an error?">
    1. **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”).
    2. **Rollback the change** — if the issue persists, ask SteerCode to revert
       the last set of changes or regenerate the feature in smaller steps.
       <Warning>Fix attempts and investigations use credits.</Warning>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I connect a backend and store data?">
    Yes. We recommend **Supabase** for auth and database. See{" "}
    <a href="/how-to/integrations">Integrations</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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{" "}
    <a href="/how-to/integrations">Integrations</a> guide.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 <a href="/how-to/integrations">Integrations</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 <a href="/how-to/secrets">Secrets</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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{" "}
    <a href="/how-to/integrations">Integrations</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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{" "}
    <a href="/how-to/custom-domains">Custom domains</a> and{" "}
    <a href="/how-to/publish">Publish</a>.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
