Introduction
Soleprint is a development workflow platform. It wraps existing applications without touching their source code.
You get a sidebar injected into your app, connectors to external services, a test runner, data generators, and documentation tools. All running alongside your app, not inside it.
Cada paso deja huella — each step leaves a mark.
Why It Exists
Born from freelance friction. Testing required PRs. Documentation was scattered across wikis and READMEs. Quick API connectors took too long to set up. Every project reinvented the same plumbing.
Soleprint is the control room that sits next to your app. You build once, reuse everywhere.
How It Works
Soleprint runs as a Docker composition alongside your application. Nginx intercepts the app's HTML response and injects a sidebar via sub_filter. The sidebar connects to soleprint's backend, which bridges into the app's database through link adapters.
Your app stays untouched. No SDK. No middleware. No source changes.
The Four Systems
| System | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Artery | Connectors to external services — Jira, Slack, Google, or your own APIs |
| Atlas | Actionable documentation — books, templates, depots |
| Station | Tools and execution — tester, datagen, modelgen, graphgen, databrowse |
| Soleprint | Core coordinator — ties the systems together |
Artery Hierarchy
Connectors scale from simple to full:
- Vein — stateless API connector
- Shunt — fake connector for testing
- Pulse — composed: vein + room + depot
- Plexus — full app: backend + frontend + database
