Key Terms
General Terminology
Container
A Container refers to a cloud-hosted Virtual Machine (VM) that serves as a development environment owned by the user. It is the primary unit where coding, testing, and debugging occur.
Templates
The Templates consist of example files and pre-installed software packages that are automatically generated within a container. You can use these templates to quickly start a new project with the necessary configurations.
Workspace
The Workspace is the IDE(Integrated Development Environment) where developers create and manage their projects. It includes various development tools and utilities for efficient project development.
Credits
Credits are the virtual currency required to use containers. As you utilize your container and AI features, credits are deducted accordingly.
Membership
Membership refers to Arkain's paid plan designed for users who want to create large projects with enhanced features and advanced benefits compared to the Free Plan.
Workspace Elements
Arkain Snap
Arkain Snap is an AI assistant that turns ideas into reality. Using just natural language, it automates the initial setup of container development environments, and for simple ideas, it creates prototypes just by making a request.
Auto-stop shuts down containers after 30-40 minutes when the container's owner closes all Workspace browsers. This feature prevents unnecessary credit use and allows you to use the service more efficiently.
Menu
The Menu, located at the top of the Workspace, provides access to container information and various container settings. It allows users to configure their container environment.
Sidebar
The Sidebar is located on the left side of the Workspace, contains various development tools, including a file tree for easy project management and the Search feature for searching across the entire project.
Editor
The Editor, located in the center of the Workspace, is where you can view and edit files. It features tabs for files, preview windows, terminal sessions, and more.
Toggle Panel
The Toggle Panel, located below the editor, displays the terminal.
The Side Chat allows you to directly interact with powerful large language models (LLMs) within the Arkain environment. Depending on where you use it, Side Chat provides different capabilities optimized for each workspace.
Side Chat is available in two main areas: the Dashboard and the Workspace, each offering features tailored to its purpose.
The Code Supporter is a feature that helps you write and fix code more easily and accurately by providing intelligent, real-time assistance.
