Help & FAQ

Questions, answered plainly.

The things builders ask most — how the Build Lab works, what your account covers, and what the AI studio really does. If your question isn't here, the Commons is listening.

01

Getting oriented

What this place is and where to start.

A city for people who have ideas but were never taught to build software. Each district does one job: Discover shows you what others made, Build turns your idea into a plan, Learn teaches the craft, Fix unsticks broken projects, Launch gets you live, and Connect finds you collaborators.

Head to the Build Lab and describe your idea in plain words. The studio walks you through audience, features, screens, data, and launch — no jargon required. If you'd rather look around first, browse Discover to see how ideas like yours became real things.

No. Every district, the glossary, the journal, and the showcase are open to everyone. You only need an account when you want to keep something: saving blueprints, saving prompts, claiming a grand idea, or joining a discussion.

02

The Build Lab

How ideas become blueprints.

A blueprint: a scoped brief, a screen map, your data requirements, and launch stages — plus a ready-to-paste prompt you can take into Lovable to start building for real. It is a plan you can act on, not a mockup.

In your workspace, once you're signed in. From there you can reopen a blueprint in the Build Lab, duplicate it, export it as a text file, or delete it. Blueprints are private — nobody else can see them.

Big, ambitious concept briefs we invented for the city skyline. Claim one and it becomes yours to build — the Build Lab opens pre-filled with the idea, and your saved blueprint links back to the claim. Claimed ideas appear as buildings in the city, so the skyline grows as people build.

Each field holds up to 2,000 characters — plenty for a thoughtful answer, short enough to keep your blueprint sharp. A live counter shows how much room you have left.

03

The AI studio, honestly

What the AI does and doesn't do.

It reads your answers across the six steps and drafts a structured plan. It's genuinely useful for getting unstuck and seeing your idea organized — but it doesn't know your users, your budget, or your taste. Treat its output as a strong first draft you edit, not a verdict.

Generating blueprints and diagnosing projects costs real computing power. Requiring an account keeps the studio fast and available for members instead of being worn down by anonymous abuse.

Not here. The World plans and teaches; the actual building happens in Lovable, which is what the copy-ready prompt is for. Think of us as the architect's studio next door to the construction site.

04

Accounts & your data

What we keep and what we don't.

A workspace with your saved blueprints and prompt library, the ability to claim grand ideas, and a voice in the Commons discussions. One account covers all of it.

Only you. They're locked to your account at the database level — not just hidden in the interface. The full story is on the Privacy page, in plain language.

Use the Sign in button in the header. You can use email and a password, or sign in with Google — whichever you'll remember next time.

05

Learning & the Commons

Courses, glossary, and conversations.

A library of 145+ entries: handbook guides, a full glossary, prompt templates you can save to your workspace, guided courses, and a quiz to test yourself. The Journal covers trends and news in the vibe-coding world.

Yes — every prompt in the vault has a "Save to workspace" button. Your saved prompts appear on a shelf in your workspace, ready to copy or send straight to the Build Lab.

The Commons on the Connect page hosts open questions from the community. Anyone can read the threads; signed-in members can reply. Keep it kind and useful — the house rules apply.

06

Troubleshooting

When something won't cooperate.

Your session may have expired — sign out and back in from the header, then try again. If it still refuses, the Repair Garage in the Fix district can help you dig deeper.

That's what the Repair Garage is for. Describe the symptom, paste the error if you have one, and the diagnostic tool will point you at the likely cause and a fix.

Start a thread in the Commons on the Connect page describing what you saw and where. Screenshots help. The city is under cheerful construction, and reports make it better.

Still stuck?

The Commons is listening.

Ask the community on the Connect page, or take a broken project to the Repair Garage. Someone in the city has hit your exact wall before.
