FAQ
What is Nodlume? Nodlume is a visual planning workspace for React applications. It brings product context, data models, routes, components, APIs, access rules, traceability, themes, and project documentation into one connected plan.
How do the workspace tabs work together? Domain defines the product context. Data and Structure model what the application knows and how it is organized. Backend defines the API surface, Security and Traceability review the plan, and Theme, Misc, and Export prepare the final documentation and scaffolding preview.
Do I need to know how to code? You can plan an application without writing code. Familiarity with product flows and application concepts helps, while the workspace keeps technical relationships visible for developers who will implement the plan.
Which application targets are supported? Projects can target Next.js web apps, Tauri desktop apps, Expo and React Native mobile apps, Ink terminal apps, and Manifest V3 browser extensions. The canvas, component catalog, permissions, and generated files adapt to the selected target.
What can I share or export? You can create read-only view links for feedback, invite people to shared documents, inspect the planned file-tree scaffolding, and export a project report containing the decisions made across the workspace.
Does Nodlume host or deploy my application? No. Nodlume is a planning and code-generation workspace, not a hosting platform. It produces the plan, the project scaffolding, and the documentation for your application, which you download and take into your own repository, editor, and toolchain. Building, running, and deploying the application happens wherever you choose to host it.
How do AI credits work? AI-assisted actions use credits. Most suggestions cost one credit, larger multi-step generations can cost more, and each plan includes a monthly allowance. Plus members can purchase additional credit packs when needed.
