Glossary
Words we use
If a word on this site meant nothing to you, it is explained here in one line.
While you are building
The words that appear between writing a sentence and getting a screen.
- Request — the sentence you send describing what you want. Also called a prompt.
- Design direction — one of three looks shown before the first build: colour, spacing, mood.
- Task class — how big the request is. T1 is a large change, T2 one feature, T3 a light edit.
- Confirm card — the card shown before a T1 job. Nothing runs until you press it.
- Credits — what a job costs. T1 is 6, T2 is 2.75, T3 is 0.5.
- Halt — when repairs run out and the job stops. Half the credits come back.
On screen
What you are looking at, and what the buttons around it do.
- Preview — your app, actually running, at an address only you and your guests know.
- Publish — producing an address you can hand to a customer.
- Restore point — the spot left behind by every change that worked.
- Undo — going back to a restore point. It costs no credits.
- Queue — the list of running and waiting jobs. One runs at a time.
Ways to change things
Four ways to alter an app, from talking to typing code.
- Agent mode — the default. You describe it, it writes and repairs the code.
- Plan mode — see what it intends to do before a single file changes.
- Visual edits — click text and colours in the preview. No credits.
- Code mode — open the code that actually runs and edit it by hand.
- Theme — colours and type changed across every page at once.
Data and safety
Where things are kept, and what stops the wrong person reading them.
- Template — a finished app you can copy. 336 of them, and copying costs nothing.
- Table — where data piles up: products, bookings, enquiries, one row at a time.
- Access rules — who may read or change which rows. This is what keeps customer details private.
- Security scan — nine checks before publishing. Anything serious blocks the publish.
- Deep scan — a read of the whole project rather than the changed parts. 2 credits.
Outside and around
The rest of the words you will meet.
- Connector — wiring in an outside service: payments, email, sign-in.
- Domain — a name you already own. A published app can be served on it.
- Workspace — what projects and credits belong to. Everyone in it shares one balance.
