Frequently Asked Questions

Click the Stop button at any time during processing.

When you stop Solid during a request:

• The current operation will stop immediately
• Your codebase will remain unchanged
• You can start a new request immediately

Use this feature when a request is taking longer than expected or when you want to try something different.

• If you can’t fix an error, click “restore” to break the loop: After a few unsuccessful attempts, go back to the initial prompt that broke the app, click “restore,” and then try different wording or a new approach. The key is to get out of the loop.
• The Restore button is also helpful to avoid stacking new code on top of layers of “bad code”: If something only works after a few attempts, it’s usually better to restore your project to the state before those failed attempts and then resend the prompt that actually worked. That way, your project stays clean and maintainable. Otherwise all those intermediate steps might have added unnecessary code to your project.

The Restore button undoes changes to a previous version. This button appears only after the AI completes the request.

When you click Restore:

1. Your codebase will revert to its exact state before that request.
2. The changes Solid made during that request will be removed.
3. Any subsequent changes—whether made by Solid, manually, or through other tools—will also be removed.

This is useful when:

1. You’re not satisfied with the output
2. You want to try a different prompt
3. You need to quickly restore a previous working version

Just like in any real software, there’s always a separate database for development and for production.

Development Database

The link to the database is: [your-preview-app-url]/codapt/db

Example: If your preview app’s address is https://preview-p9pdfsan2j5n10yr7ihs2y.codapt.app, then the database link is https://preview-p9pdfsan2j5n10yr7ihs2y.codapt.app/codapt/db

Production Database

The link to the database is: [YourProjectName].codapt.app/codapt/db

Log in using the password. You can ask Solid AI for your ADMIN_PASSWORD if you don’t have it at hand. You can also find your password in your project’s .env file, stored as ADMIN_PASSWORD.

Every Solid project comes with built-in hosting, so when your app is ready, the only thing left to do is publish, put it to use, and share it with your friends or community.

You can also run it locally by following these steps:

scripts/run

Option 1: Google Drive

1. Upload to Google Drive
2. Copy the link in public format
3. Send the link to Solid in your prompt

Option 2: Local Files (Recommended)

Send this prompt to Solid:

"when I tried to [describe the action you took] I saw this error: [paste the error message]"

Example: “when I tried to click the Create Deal button, I saw this error: code: invalid_string, validation: datetime, message: Invalid datetime, path: closeDate”

"I only see a white screen. Fix this: [paste all logs]"

Example based on error: “When I open the home page, a white page appeared with an error that said: contextMap[utilName] is not a function”

This usually means that feature isn’t built yet. Send this prompt:

"Build this feature: [describe what you want]"

Solid generates real, solid full-stack web apps using modern technologies:

Frontend

• Framework: React 18 + TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Build Tool: Vite
• Testing: Vitest/React Testing Library

Backend

• Framework: Node.js (with tRPC for API layer)
• Language: TypeScript
• Database: SQLite (development) / PostgreSQL (production)
• ORM: Prisma

Features

• Authentication (context and procedures)
• CRUD operations for core entities
• File upload support (MinIO integration)
• Testing: Jest for backend unit/integration tests

DevOps

• Containerization: Docker (multi-service setup, Nginx reverse proxy)
• Linting/Formatting: ESLint, Prettier
• UTF-8: Default encoding for Node.js/TypeScript projects

Solid generates real production software, not toys:

• No Supabase shortcuts - We write real backend code
• No prefab backend tools - Custom, scalable architecture
• No vendor lock-ins - You own your code completely
• Production-ready - Built for scale from day one
• Full customization - Every part of the stack is modifiable

Unlike tools that generate prototypes, Solid creates software that developers are proud to ship.

Lovable markets itself as building “full-stack apps,” but in practice they’re very limited prototypes with weak security and little extensibility. The code isn’t structured to support serious projects - no real developer would use this backend for a real project.

You can even hack your Lovable project in no time: audit your project security for free now.

Solid builds web apps EXACTLY like a real developer would.

To manage your credits and subscription:

Yes! You can easily import and enhance Lovable projects:

Migration Prompt:

We're rebuilding our app in our new tech stack. The old version is available 
for reference in the "lovable-mockup" directory. Rebuild the app entirely, 
including all previous functionality, and replicate the design as closely as 
possible (very important!), while following our new stack and guidelines
