Platforms

How GoBanana detects the platform from a brief, and what each platform changes in directions, searches, exports and critique.

The platform is one of mobile, tablet, website, webapp or any. The skills always pass it to bend_brief; the server detects one only when it is left out. Source: banana-server/lib/platform.ts.

The brief is lowercased and checked against these groups in order. The first match wins.

So “dashboard app on iPhone” is mobile (device words win), and “pricing page for a SaaS tool” is a website (marketing pages beat product words).

Some bend ideas are banned per platform, so a phone never gets “a strict 12 column grid”, “everything rotated 90 degrees” or type at 300 points, and a web app never gets “one sentence per screen” or “a single giant number per screen”.
