12.1 Developer FAQs

Q: What frameworks are currently supported? A: React, Tailwind CSS, and HTML/CSS. Upcoming phases will include Vue, Angular, Next.js, Svelte, and Solidity for smart contracts.

Q: Can KnowCode generate backend logic as well? A: Yes. Initial backend support includes REST APIs, authentication flows, and database schemas. Future releases will add GraphQL endpoints and decentralized storage integrations.

Q: How are deployments verified on-chain? A: Each deployment is anchored on Base with a verifiable tx_hash. The generated application is stored on IPFS, ensuring integrity via content hashes (CIDs).

Q: Can I bring my own domain? A: Yes. You can use .kno.codes by default or map custom domains. SSL is applied automatically in both cases.

Q: How do I integrate KnowCode with CI/CD pipelines? A: KnowCode supports GitHub Actions and custom DevOps flows. Developers can script design-to-code generation, automated builds, and deployments as part of their pipelines.

Q: What are the API rate limits? A: 100 requests per minute per API key. Rate limits are monitored and can be extended for enterprise accounts.

Q: Can I extend the platform with my own plugin? A: Yes. Developers can create plugins to add frameworks, modify styling, enforce security policies, or integrate analytics. Plugins follow a simple transform interface.

Q: How do I monitor deployed applications? A: The dashboard provides real-time logs, analytics, and error tracking. On-chain deployments also generate events you can subscribe to via Web3 libraries.

Q: How secure is the generated code? A: All generated outputs go through static analysis, sanitization layers, and security linting. Developers retain full control and can integrate additional audits.

Q: Can I export the code for self-hosting? A: Absolutely. KnowCode never locks you in. Code can be exported, modified, and hosted on your own infrastructure at any time.

Q: Does KnowCode support smart contract generation? A: Yes. Standard ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 contracts can be generated with OpenZeppelin-compliant patterns. Audit-ready templates ensure reliability.

Q: Is there support for databases? A: Yes. Developers can set up Postgres, MongoDB, or decentralized storage integrations (Filecoin, Arweave) directly from the platform.

12.2 General & Investor FAQs

Q: What does it cost to deploy an app? A: Deployments on Base average under $0.01 in gas fees. No vendor lock-in or inflated subscription charges.

Q: Who owns the code after generation? A: You do. All generated code is fully owned by the user and can be modified or exported freely.

Q: How scalable is KnowCode? A: Built on Base with throughput up to 250 Mgas/s, suitable for consumer dApps and enterprise-scale applications.

Q: How does KnowCode compare to competitors? A: Unlike Uizard, Anima, or Bubble, KnowCode offers end-to-end functionality — from design-to-code to on-chain hosting and domain registration.

Q: Who can use KnowCode? A: Developers, startups, enterprises, and creators. Non-technical users benefit from no-code workflows, while technical users gain full SDK and API access.
