FAQs
Which platform should I build for?
- EA if many users share the same data, or if you need roles or a backend.
- SA for a personal tool inside the SA desktop app.
- OS if the plugin should run in its own desktop window.
The Introduction compares the three platforms side by side.
What do I need to get started?
Node.js 18 or later, the installed Motanamy app, and the CLI (npm install -g motanamy-cli). Follow the Quick Start.
What languages and frameworks can I use?
The UI is written with Vue 3, PrimeVue and PrimeFlex on all platforms. EA plugins can also have a Node.js backend written with Express or NestJS (main.js).
mot dev says no app is linked

How do I release a new version?
Add a new version folder (for example 1.1.0/), update version and versionNumber in setting.json, add a changelog entry to the README files, then publish again. See New versions.
Can I sell my plugin?
