Frequently Asked Questions
The recommendations are based on decision trees built from real patterns across hundreds of SaaS products. They are optimized for the profile you described — but no tool can account for every constraint. Use this as a strong starting point, not a rigid prescription.
Absolutely. The stack is modular. You can take the database recommendation and ignore the auth recommendation. Each layer is independent. The alternatives listed under each choice are also solid options.
Next.js has the largest ecosystem, the most tutorials, and the most developers who know it. For most founders, that ecosystem support is worth more than the marginal technical advantages of newer frameworks. It's not the most exciting choice — it's the most reliable one.
Use this to identify gaps. If you have the frontend covered but haven't thought about email or real-time, the recommendations for those layers are still valuable. You can cherry-pick.
Yes. No account, no email, no tracking. The results are computed entirely in your browser.
