The projects dashboard
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
Section titled “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 | The AI website builder — a complete React site, publishable to your own domain |
| 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: one project can hold a Website, a Web app and a Mobile 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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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
Section titled “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.
