Anything.com - Project Settings

Surface

Per-project settings page. Reached via Settings โ†’ gear icon in the project sidebar (see Anything.com - Workspace and New Project).

Layout

Two-pane: left settings nav (~30%), right content (~70%).

Left pane โ€” settings nav

Header - Project name: Calculator (with Anything logo). - โ† Back to chat (link).

AI SETTINGS (section header, uppercase small caps) - ๐ŸŽง Custom Instructions (active, highlighted)

GENERAL SETTINGS - ๐Ÿ–ผ Assets

API SETTINGS - ๐Ÿ”’ Secrets

USER AUTH SETTINGS - ๐ŸŒ Auth Providers

MOBILE APP SETTINGS - ๐Ÿ“ฑ App Store Marketing - ๐Ÿ’ณ Monetization

SHARE SETTINGS - โ†— Social Share

๐Ÿ’ญ

The settings IA reveals what Anything.com considers first-class product concerns for the built app:

  1. AI (how the agent behaves on this project) โ€” Custom Instructions.
  2. General (project files) โ€” Assets.
  3. API (backend) โ€” Secrets.
  4. User auth (the built app's users, not the Anything user) โ€” Auth Providers.
  5. Mobile app (store presence + monetization) โ€” App Store Marketing, Monetization. These are only relevant if you ship a mobile app, so the section is scoped.
  6. Share (distribution) โ€” Social Share (OG tags, preview card).

This IA reinforces Anything.com - ICP: the product is organized around publishing a monetizable app, not around dev ergonomics. You wouldn't find an "App Store Marketing" section in Replit's settings at this scope.

Right pane โ€” Custom Instructions detail

Currently open: Custom Instructions. - Title: "Custom instructions" - Subtitle: "Add custom instructions to your project." - Body: centered card showing: - "No custom instructions" (placeholder). - "Start by creating a new instruction or adding one from your team." - + Add instruction โ€” primary button (solid dark).

What this corrects

โš ๏ธ

Anything.com - Custom Instructions was described as top-level / dashboard-level in the initial wiki. Custom Instructions is per-project, inside Project Settings โ†’ AI Settings. Corrected. "From your team" phrasing also implies shared instruction libraries exist at the team level โ€” worth investigating on the next source clip.

Top header (persistent across all project settings pages)

Left โ†’ right: - Project name: Calculator. - View toggles: ๐Ÿ‘ preview / ` code / ๐Ÿ’ป desktop / ๐Ÿ“ฑ mobile / โŸณ refresh. - Page search:๐Ÿ” Homepage. - Edit โœ๏ธ and external link โ†— icons. -๐Ÿ‘ฅ Invitebutton. - **Publish`** โ€” solid black primary button.

The header is always the same across preview, code, and settings โ€” reinforcing that all are sub-views of a single project context.
