Question 1

What is Meno?

Accepted Answer

Meno is an open-source, AI-first website builder. It pairs a Webflow-style visual editor with a native AI assistant that edits the underlying files directly. Your project is a folder of plain JSON files in your own Git repository — not a SaaS database — which means AI can read and modify it without an API, version control is real Git history, and you can self-host the output anywhere.

Question 2

Is Meno open-source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meno Core — the runtime that renders pages, handles SSR, validates schemas, and builds your static site — is open-source. You can fork it, audit it, build on it, and run it forever even if Meno Studio disappears. Meno Studio (the visual editor desktop app) is commercial — free for personal use, paid for organizations.

Question 3

How is Meno different from Webflow?

Accepted Answer

Webflow is cloud-only SaaS where your website lives on Webflow's servers. Meno is a local-first desktop app where your website is JSON files in your Git repo. Meno has unlimited CMS items (Webflow caps at 20,000) and free SSO via GitHub OAuth (Webflow charges $100K+/yr for Enterprise SSO). It also outputs static HTML you can host anywhere. Meno also has a native AI editor inside the canvas — Webflow doesn't.

Question 4

How is Meno different from Cursor or v0?

Accepted Answer

Cursor and v0 are AI tools that generate code or output via prompts. Meno gives you the same AI-on-files architecture but with a visual canvas — see every change live, click to adjust styles directly, and only fall back to prompting when you want to. It's the visual editor for the AI-website era.

Question 5

Can I self-host my Meno site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meno outputs plain static HTML, CSS, and JS — deploy to Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, S3, your own Nginx, GitHub Pages, or any static host. Meno Enterprise also supports fully on-premise deployment, including air-gapped and Azure GovCloud environments.

Question 6

Can AI edit my Meno projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes — natively. Because a Meno project is plain JSON files in a Git repo, any file-aware AI tool can edit it: Meno's built-in AI assistant (Anthropic API key), Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or any LLM you can paste files into. You get visual editing for design and AI editing for everything else, on the same data.

Question 7

Can I import a Webflow site or any existing website?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Meno Chrome extension captures any website (or any element on it) and pulls it into your Meno project as editable components — pixel-perfect. The Figma plugin does the same for Figma frames and components.

Question 8

Does Meno work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Meno desktop app runs fully offline. Your files are stored locally and sync via Git when you're ready. There's no cloud dependency — your project keeps working even if our servers are gone.

Question 9

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Meno Core is free forever. The Free tier of Meno Studio gives you unlimited projects, 10 pages, 3 CMS collections, 500 CMS pages, and one-click deploy. Pro is $32/user/mo (yearly) with branching, live collaboration, A/B testing, analytics, and 20,000 CMS pages. Enterprise is $1,000/org/mo (yearly) — vs Webflow Enterprise at $100K+/yr.
