What is Portal?
Supernova Portal is where product teams turn ideas into validated solutions.
It’s a collaborative space for prototyping, documenting, and delivering product features — powered by your design system.
Whether you’re a Product Manager, Designer, or Engineer, Portal provides everything you need to run a complete solution discovery and delivery process — from the first idea to the handoff.
Portal is private-only, built for internal teams. Available as a web and desktop application.
Portal provides two main modes:
Create mode – where problems find solutions
When you’re in Create, Portal becomes your team’s central workspace for building and validating solutions.
You can:
- Create projects for specific features or initiatives.
- Build prototypes with real design tokens and themes to always stay on brand.
- Write PRDs, specs, and release notes directly next to your prototypes.
- Collaborate in real time across disciplines – PMs, designers, and engineers working in one environment.
- Export or hand off your work through MCP (Model-Code Pipeline), reusing prototype code and documents to speed up delivery.
In short, Create mode transforms Portal into your Solution Discovery hub – where you explore and validate solutions, and prepare everything for implementation.

Ask Mode – where knowledge flows seamlessly
While Create is about building, Ask is about understanding.
Portal’s Ask mode connects you with the full depth of your design system – without diving into the endless documentation.
You can:
- Ask questions about components, tokens, or usage guidelines
- Search and browse design system data visually.
- Learn instantly how specific design elements should be used, themed, or combined.
Ask mode is ideal for quick answers, onboarding, and everyday discovery of the design system – ensuring everyone uses the exact source of truth.
