Glossary

In alphabetical order, with a link to the page that explains each one in full.

A to C

• App. Anything you build with Yorki, published or not.
• Automatic fix. A fix Yorki prepares by itself for an error in your published app, when you turn the option on. See Errors and automatic fixes.
• Build. The mode that changes your app, and the work Yorki does for one request. A project's first build creates the app.
• Builder. The page where you work on a project: the chat on the left, the preview and other views on the right.
• Chat. The mode for questions and ideas. It never changes your app. See Build, Chat and Plan.
• Cloud. Your app's backend: a database, file storage and user accounts. See Turn on cloud.
• Composer. The box under the chat where you type requests.
• Credit. The unit Yorki counts its work in. See Credits.

D to P

• Design steps. The choices Yorki offers before a first build: light or dark, colours, typography and layout. See Questions and design.
• Edit. A request that changes an existing app. Also the button above the preview for visual edits.
• Export. A zip file with your app's code, data and setup, to run it anywhere. See Code and export.
• Plan. The mode that writes a complete plan before building.
• Platform rules. What may and may not be built with Yorki. See the platform rules.
• Preview. The live copy of your app that updates after every change.
• Preview cloud. The cloud the preview uses while you build and test.
• Project. One app, with its chat, versions, notes and settings.
• Project notes. Three notes, Project, Architecture and Roadmap, that Yorki keeps up to date so later requests know earlier decisions. See Project notes and specification.
• Publish. Putting your app on its own address, or replacing the live app with your latest version. See Publish your app.
• Published cloud. The cloud your live app uses. It starts at your first publish.

R to Z

• Request. One message you send. In Build mode, each request becomes a version when it delivers.
• Restore. Going back to an earlier version. It is free and adds a new entry to the history. See Versions and restoring.
• Specification. Your own document of rules every request reads first. Only you write it.
• Version. A saved state of your app after a request, a restore or an edit you made yourself.
• Visual edit. A change you make directly in the preview with Edit. Free.
• Who can do what. The rules your app's cloud enforces about who may read, add, change and remove records. See Who can do what.
• yorki.app address. Where a published app lives, such as my-studio.yorki.app.
