Layers

Onboarding Step 1: Pick a Source

Choose what Layers analyzes — a GitHub repo, an App Store listing, or a website URL.

View as Markdown

The first onboarding step asks: what should Layers analyze to seed your brand brief? You pick one of three source tiles. GitHub is pre-selected by default and marked "Recommended".

Options

GitHub repository

Best if you have a mobile app repo. Clicking Continue either takes you to the repo picker (if you already have Layers' GitHub App installed for this Org) or opens a popup to install the GitHub App first.

App Store listing

Clicking Continue opens a search screen where you can add an App Store (iOS) listing and/or a Google Play (Android) listing by name or store ID.

Website URL

Clicking Continue opens a single-field URL screen.

VSCode workspace

If you're running Layers inside the VSCode extension, the Start screen swaps to a VSCode-specific flow that uses your open workspace instead of the GitHub / App Store / Website tiles.

Choosing more than one source

The wizard seeds the project from a single source. You can attach additional app listings, a website, or a GitHub repo after onboarding from Project settings → Apps.

What if I have nothing yet?

Pick Website URL and enter any brand page you control. The analyzer will scrape it for basic brand info.
