Introduction
Install Fydell, add your work to an Engineering Passport, and take the Simulations you are invited to. Start with a guide, then open the product when you are ready.
Guides
Getting started
Engineers add a project, read its report and share it. Hiring teams publish a role, review applications and decide.
How reports are made
What a Builder Report reads, how each finding is checked against its source, and what a report never claims.
Troubleshooting
First launch warnings, sign-in problems, rejected uploads, failed imports, CLI exit codes and how to reach support.
Desktop app
Download for Windows or macOS, open it for the first time, and keep it up to date.
Command line
Add a local project from the terminal. Commands, privacy, and exit codes.
Trust and security
Who can read each artifact, how a claim is tied to its source, and what Fydell does not have yet.
Privacy in the product
What is collected, legal bases, AI processing, retention, your rights, and how this maps to the Privacy Policy.
Four ways to add a project
Each path ends in one version of the project in your Engineering Passport, at a fixed revision, that you choose whether to share.
Import from GitHub
Repositories you share through the read-only Fydell app, each read at a commit you can see.
Upload a folder or ZIP
On the website, for code you are allowed to share privately. There is no public link to the source.
From the desktop app
From version 0.2.0, through the same import flow as the website: the preview pins the commit, then the import runs.
From the command line
The fydell CLI collects a local folder, previews it, then uploads. See the CLI docs for install and commands.
Work you cannot share at all can be described in your own words, and is labeled as described by you.
About Engineering PassportsTaking an engineering task
Invitations go to one email address. Before you start you see the brief, time limit, AI policy and what is recorded. In the desktop app you work in your own editor; Fydell evaluates your submission in an isolated sandbox.
