Common Questions

What is CodeNull?

CodeNull is an AI-powered website builder that creates fully functional web applications with frontend, backend, and database integration. Unlike traditional website builders, CodeNull generates complete applications, including API endpoints and database schemas, using artificial intelligence.

Do I need coding knowledge to use CodeNull?

No, CodeNull is designed to be accessible to users with any level of technical knowledge. The AI handles the complexities of code generation, allowing you to focus on what you want to build rather than how to build it. However, users with coding knowledge can access and customize the generated code if desired.

• Ecommerce: Complete online stores with product catalogs, shopping carts, and checkout systems
• Portfolio: Professional showcases for your work, services, and achievements
• Healthcare: Medical websites with appointment scheduling and patient portals
• Blogging: Content-focused sites with publishing and subscription features
• Branding: Corporate websites focused on brand identity and messaging
• Others: Custom web applications tailored to your specific requirements

Simply describe what you want to build to the AI, and it will generate the appropriate components and structure for your specific needs.

Can I export my code and host it elsewhere?

Yes, paid plans allow you to export your generated code, which you can then host on any platform of your choice. The exported code is clean, well-documented, and follows best practices for maintainability.

Errors & Troubleshooting

My website isn't loading after deployment

This could be due to several reasons:

1. Recent Deployment: Wait a few minutes as propagation can take time
2. Database Connection: Check your database connection string in the environment settings
3. API Errors: Examine the API logs in the Deployment Dashboard for error messages
4. Resource Limits: You may have hit resource limits on your current plan

If the issue persists, check the Deployment Dashboard for specific error logs or contact support.

API endpoints are returning errors

Common causes of API errors include:

• Authentication Issues: Verify your authentication configuration
• Database Connectivity: Check your database connection settings
• Invalid Data: Ensure the data being sent to your endpoints matches the expected schema
• Rate Limiting: You might be exceeding your plan’s API call limits

You can use the API Testing tool in the API Dashboard to debug your endpoints.

My custom domain isn't working

To resolve custom domain issues:

1. Confirm your DNS settings match those provided in the Domain Settings panel
2. Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation
3. Verify that your SSL certificate has been properly provisioned
4. Check that your domain registration is current

If you’ve recently added your domain, note that SSL certificate generation can take up to 24 hours.

Database queries are slow

To improve database performance:

1. Review your indexes in the Database Management section
2. Optimize complex queries using the Query Analyzer
3. Consider caching frequently accessed data
4. Check if you need to upgrade your database plan for more resources

The Performance Monitor tool can help identify specific bottlenecks.
