How to Use Rinnode

The Rinnode Workflow

Follow these 4 simple steps to wire up any form or dynamic CMS section on your website.

Create Database & API

Design Your Model with Rinnode AI

Go to the **AI Assistant** inside your Rinnode console and describe what you want in plain English. For example: *"I need a contact form with name, email, subject, and message"* or *"I need a blog schema with title, excerpt, body, and cover image"*.

> User: "Create a pricing list schema and wire a lead waitlist for early discount signups."

Prompt Integration

Copy & Paste the "Prompt Pack"

The AI Assistant generates your database schema and prepares a **Prompt Pack** tailored for your vibe coding tool (Lovable, Bolt.new, or Cursor). Simply copy this prompt, paste it into your vibe builder chat, and watch as your builder automatically generates the gorgeous UI and wires it to Rinnode APIs.

Works with Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, v0.dev, and custom React code

Dashboard Moderation

Manage Content & Leads in the Console

Your Rinnode dashboard instantly updates with dynamic lists: - **Forms & Signups:** View early waitlists, feedback submissions, and application details with automatic spam filtering. - **CMS Schemas:** Add new blog posts, customer testimonials, case studies, or FAQs inside a sleek editor (supporting Markdown, image uploads, and video embeds).

Evolve & Change

Add Fields & Update code Incrementally

Need to add fields later? You have two choices: - **No-Code Direct Editor:** Go to the "Schema Settings" tab in your dashboard, and directly click to add **Image Fields**, **Video Embed Fields**, or custom inputs. - **AI assistant Update:** Talk to Rinnode AI to change requirements. The AI will ask if you already put the previous code in your builder. If yes, it outputs a clean **incremental prompt** (so you don't break your existing layout).

Deep Dive: Headless CMS

Manage dynamic elements on your site without setting up an admin console.

Dynamic SEO Slugs

Rinnode CMS automatically generates clean, SEO-friendly slugs (e.g. `/blogs/my-first-post`) from titles. Slugs are checked for duplicates and resolve collisions automatically, keeping your SEO index clean.

Responsive Video Embeds

Add YouTube, Vimeo, hosted videos, or raw HTML embeds to your posts. Rinnode renders responsive player elements in the dashboard so you can preview embeds before publishing.

Media Library Integrations

Host your images and assets directly in the Rinnode Media Library. Copy CDN URLs on the fly from the slide-out sidebar while working in the editor or chat console.

Indie Hackers & Vibe Coders Pro-Tips

1. Use the Honeypot Bot Trap:Always include a hidden input named `_rinnode_bot_trap` in your HTML forms. Keep it empty and hide it with CSS. Rinnode uses this honey-pot to block 99% of automated web spam.

2. Domain Whitelists:For security, form submissions are rejected if sent from un-registered domains. When AI designs your form, specify the domain (e.g. `localhost:3000` or `mySaaS.com`) so the server automatically whitelists it.

3. Edge Cache Invalidation:Rinnode endpoints are cached at the Edge globally for 300ms page response speed. Publishing or updating an entry in the dashboard automatically invalidates Edge caches, syncing content within seconds.
