Hi! Welcome to the Spike beta. If you’ve any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out me@matthall.codes.

Getting started

  1. Log in with Google, Github, or Email.

  2. Make a new project. Any name and settings is fine.

  3. Wait for sandbox to initialize. Spike runs each project on a computer in the cloud, and we pause these to save resources. Each time you navigate to a project it’ll start a sandbox.

  4. Make a new frame by pressing the “New” button or hitting the “N” key.

  5. Prompt to create a prototype like you would in tools like v0 or Lovable. Here’s some good starter prompts:

    1. make an animated sidebar menu with nested items
    2. make a landing page for a <insert name here> company
    3. make a dropdown menu that matches <your design system>
  6. Open the sidebars. The left sidebar shows a tree of the nodes on your canvas
