FAQ

Common questions about Vibecanvas.

What is Vibecanvas?

Vibecanvas is a generative app on an infinite canvas. You generate many small live widgets, then arrange them spatially into the app or workflow you want.

What kinds of widgets can I generate?

Use widgets for focused app surfaces: charts, forms, queues, galleries, tables, dashboards, chats, timers, controls, and internal tools.

What does “live backend” mean?

Widgets are not just static mockups. They can have local backend behavior for state, updates, actions, and generated app logic.

Does Vibecanvas mirror a local project environment?

No. Vibecanvas is focused on generating and composing live app widgets on the canvas, not on mirroring a local developer environment.

How do I upgrade Vibecanvas?

Use the built-in CLI command:

vibecanvas upgrade --check
vibecanvas upgrade

To install a specific version instead of the latest one:

vibecanvas --upgrade 0.2.0-beta.3

How do I run Vibecanvas on a different port?

Use the serve command with --port:

vibecanvas serve --port 3001

vibecanvas by itself also starts the serve command. For backward compatibility, a positional number is treated as the port too.

How do I see the CLI help or version?

vibecanvas --help
vibecanvas --version

You can also use the short flags -h and -v.
