FAQ

Common questions about Vibecanvas.

What runtime do the terminal widgets use?

Vibecanvas uses a built-in Bun PTY backend for terminal widgets.

What can the terminal access right now?

Terminal widgets run in your local project path and have access to the same files and tools available in that environment.

Current limitations:

• Terminal sessions are kept in memory by the local server.
• Sessions do not survive a full server restart yet.
• Windows PTY support depends on Bun platform support.

Can the AI edit the canvas for me?

Not yet. Right now the AI can help through chat and terminal-driven workflows, but it cannot directly edit the canvas itself.

Direct AI canvas editing is planned and should arrive soon.

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.
