Overview

The Trace web dashboard at buildwithtrace.com/dashboard gives you access to:

• Projects — view all your conversations and AI-generated thumbnails
• Usage — track token consumption, request counts, and costs
• Orders — monitor PCB manufacturing status
• Billing — manage your subscription and payment history
• Team — invite members and switch workspace context
• Settings — update profile, change password, notification preferences

​

Ask Mode (Web Chat)

You can ask questions about your projects directly from the web dashboard without opening the desktop app.

​

How It Works

1. Navigate to Projects in the sidebar
2. Click on any project/conversation
3. View the full message history
4. Type a new message to start an AI conversation directly from the browser

​

Daily Rate Limits (Web)

Web chat sessions have a rate limit of 25 requests per day in ask mode only. This prevents abuse while allowing legitimate project queries.

​

Project Thumbnails

Every project automatically gets an AI-generated thumbnail displayed on the project card. Thumbnails are:

• Generated using Google Gemini’s image model
• Created with abstract, flowing generative art styles
• Unique per project (random creative seeds)
• Cached and served from Supabase Storage

If a thumbnail fails to generate or you want a new one, it regenerates automatically on next view.

​

Crash Reporting

If Trace encounters an unexpected crash, you’ll see a dialog offering to submit a crash report:

• What’s sent: Application logs, system info (OS, version, architecture), session ID
• What’s NOT sent: Your project files, personal data, or schematic content
• Consent: You can dismiss the dialog to skip reporting

Crash reports help us identify and fix stability issues faster. Reports are batched with a 2-minute debounce (rapid crashes from the same session are grouped into one notification).
