# Ripping docs

> Ripping builds and hosts apps from a written description. These docs cover using it and the code inside a generated app. Every page is also at https://docs.getripping.com/<page>.md; the whole set is at https://docs.getripping.com/llms-full.txt.

## Building apps

- [Generated app anatomy](https://docs.getripping.com/build/overview.md): What a Ripping app is made of, where it runs, where its data lives, and which scaffold it started from.

- [App accounts](https://docs.getripping.com/build/auth.md): How people sign up and sign in to a generated app, what a session is, and the auth endpoints behind it.
- [Saving data](https://docs.getripping.com/build/data.md): Per-account data with useStore and useSynced, shared collections with useShared, and the routes and limits behind them.
- [File uploads](https://docs.getripping.com/build/files.md): How a generated app stores files people upload, the size and type limits, and how public and private files are addressed.

- [Connected services](https://docs.getripping.com/build/services.md): The call route that lets a generated app use the owner's connected services without holding a secret, and the limits on it.
- [Routing and SEO](https://docs.getripping.com/build/routing-and-seo.md): Hash routes, page titles, share previews, the SITE config every public string comes from, and crash and visit reporting.
