Dashboard

The dashboard is the first screen you see when you launch Meno. It is your home base for creating, opening, and managing projects.

Header Bar

At the top you have the header bar. On the left is the Meno logo, then the organization switcher where you choose which organization's projects to view. On the right you'll find the license badge showing your current tier, a theme toggle for light, dark, or system mode, and the user menu.

Creating a Project

Click the New button to create a project. You'll get three options: Starter, which sets you up with example pages, components, and CMS content; Blank, which gives you an empty project; or Clone, if you want to pull in an existing repo from GitHub.

Enter a name and notice how the slug auto-generates from it. You can edit the slug if you want. If GitHub is connected, you can also check Create GitHub repo to push it automatically. Click Create, and after a moment the project appears in the grid.

The Starter template gives you a working site out of the box:

• 3 pages -- Home, Blog listing, and a 404 page

• 1 CMS template -- generates a page for each blog post

• 80+ components -- sections, UI primitives, form elements, and layout components

• 2 sample blog posts -- ready-made CMS content

• Color themes and responsive breakpoints -- light/dark modes and tablet/mobile scaling

Project Cards

Each project shows up as a card. You can see the name, a tier badge, and a status indicator. When a project is running, you'll see a green dot with Running next to it. If it's starting up, it shows Opening.

Opening a Project

Click a project card to open it. Meno starts the dev server in the background, and once it's ready, the editor opens automatically. If the project is already running, it opens right away.

Card Menu

Every card has a three-dot menu. From here you can open the project on GitHub, upgrade its license tier, copy the folder path, stop the server, delete the project, or transfer it to a different organization.

Search

If you have a lot of projects, there's a search bar at the top. Just start typing and the list filters instantly by project name.

App Updates

When a new version of Meno is available, an update banner appears below the header. Click it to install, and the app restarts with the latest version.
