The projects dashboard
Where your projects live — the "What are you building?" chooser, project cards with their real address and live state, search by name, domain or id, the archive, and account settings in a panel.
The dashboard is the page behind the logo: every project you own or have been invited to, plus the entry point for creating a new one.
Starting a project
New project opens a "What are you building?" chooser rather than dropping you straight into a blank prompt:
| Choice | What you get |
|---|---|
| Website or Hub | The AI website builder — a complete React site, publishable to your own domain |
| Web app | A server-rendered Next.js app with its own server — see Web apps |
| Mobile app | A real iOS/Android app — see Mobile apps |
Each option is explained on the card, so you're picking a target rather than guessing. You can add the other targets later — including a Desktop app, which is added from inside a project rather than here: one project can hold a Website, a Web app, a Mobile app and a Desktop app side by side — see Apps inside a project.
Already run a community, CRM or products on the classic ESTAGE platform? Use Import Legacy instead of starting fresh — see Connecting a legacy community.
What a project card tells you
Every card carries the project's identity, not just its name:
- The address it lives at — its custom domain if it has one, otherwise its
…genesis.estage.comaddress. - An honest Live state — a project shows as live only while it actually is. Unpublishing it clears the badge.
- The publish date — taken from the last real publish, not from the last time you edited something.
Finding a project
The search box matches on name, domain, and project id — so a project you know only by the address a client sent you, or by an id from a support thread, is one search away.
The project menu
Each card's ⋯ menu holds the per-project actions — opening settings, and for imported projects, Re-bind to ESTAGE project… (see General → Re-bind).
The archive
Archived projects — including the old project left behind by a re-bind — are kept in the dashboard's Archive, and can be restored from there at any time. Archiving is not deleting.
Account settings, without leaving the page
Your account settings open in a panel over whatever you're doing, the same way project settings do — no bouncing to a separate page and losing your place.
- Allocation & credits — billing, your allocation, and your credit balance live together in one tab.
- Buying happens right where you are: purchase flows open in the panel instead of sending you off to a settings page.
