Reuses Oasis's own private-message invite pattern (like the industry module:
pmModel.sendMessage([feed], 'KARVAN_INVITE', '... -> /karvan/<id>')), so the invite
lands in the contact's inbox with a link — no new SSB code, no touching the SSB
startup. Joining a room by link adopts a local mirror (karvanModel.adoptRoom, the
id is the capability). Real-time cross-device signaling (media/text sync between
the two mirrors) is the remaining Fase 2 piece (muxrpc ephemeral), deferred.
Verified single-node: invite publishes to the inbox, validation, adopt, form; 13/13
model tests (added adoptRoom).
Adds a call panel to the Karvan room (local video + remote gallery + call/mic/cam/hang-up
buttons) and grafts getUserMedia + addTrack + ontrack onto the peer connections we already
use for the text data-channel (perfect negotiation handles the renegotiation). No backend,
no new !important. Verified: getUserMedia path attaches audio+video tracks to the local
video and activates the panel (chromium fake device). getUserMedia will fail gracefully on
the current wrapper (no camera/mic permission) with a clear message — the chat keeps working.
Fases 2 (SSB cross-device signaling) and 3 (wrapper permissions) pending.
The hexagon hive was rendered in the header on EVERY page (~210px), pushing real
content far down on Peers/Market/Inbox/etc. Now a middleware flag
(__OASIS_SHOW_HIVE__ = path is /activity or /) gates renderHiveNav so the hive is
the home hub only; other pages get just the fixed topbar and their content up top.
Personal/Community and the bottombar still navigate everywhere.
Per feedback: bring the bottom bar back to the design that was liked several
versions ago — user-pinned modules, an edit pencil to /settings/bottombar, and a
fixed Peers/Invites pair on the right. The central + FAB is removed. The hive
returns to the header (top) so Personal/Community filter the visible hexagons; the
Explore bottom-sheet is retired. Karvan module kept.
The top bar was left empty (logo + avatar only) after moving the filter to the
Explore sheet — it looked unbalanced/broken. Since the sheet no longer blocks the
top (visibility:hidden), Personal/Community are brought back to the top bar where
they fill the space and now work; the duplicate segmented control is removed from
the Explore sheet.
Navigation fixes:
- The bottom "Explore" sheet no longer blocks the top bar: closed state is
visibility:hidden (out of hit-testing), so the top identity buttons and page
content always receive taps (fixes "top buttons don't work").
- Top bar is now identity only (logo, avatar). The Personal/Community filter
moved into the Explore sheet, next to the hive, as a segmented control.
New module "Karvan" (self-contained; inspired by karvan-protocol ephemeral rooms):
- Ephemeral/temporary chat rooms held only in RAM, self-destructing on idle
(30 min) / absolute (2 h) TTL — nothing is written to disk.
- Server relay chat (RAM + polling) as the reliable path, plus a WebRTC
data-channel layer (perfect negotiation, HTTP signaling mailbox) for instant
P2P delivery; degrades to the relay if WebRTC is unavailable. Data-channel
only (no camera/mic) so no wrapper permission changes are needed.
- Files: models/karvan_model.js, views/karvan_view.js, client/public/js/karvan.js;
routes /karvan* + karvanMod config + nav entry (network) + karvanTitle i18n (11 langs).
Additive and gated by OASIS_MOBILE / karvanMod; Linux and the UX_OASIS branch untouched.
Mobile-usability experiment grounded in real studies (Hoober 2013,
Bergstrom-Lehtovirta CHI 2011, Parhi 2006 target size, NN/g 2016 visible nav):
- The hive (categories + modules) opens from the bottom bar as a thumb-reachable
bottom-sheet (checkbox-hack, no JS), freeing the top for content.
- Bottom bar reordered: Explore, PM, (+) publish FAB, Search, Inbox; the central
FAB is the distinct, elevated primary action.
- Network/status quick row (Peers, Graphos, Inbox, Settings) inside the sheet.
- Tap targets >=48px. Additive and gated by OASIS_MOBILE (Linux untouched).
- Topbar: single fixed line [logo][Personal][Community][avatar] in one dark
tone (#121212) with gold accents only; the hive hexagons scroll below it.
- Hive: Personal/Community filter the home hive from any page; opening a
category shows its modules as a 2x2 grid of square buttons (a lone odd
button is centered instead of left-aligned).
- Chats: per-message reply (?replyTo=), chat switcher strip and quote banner;
the message rate limit is lifted on mobile.
- Forums: optional subtopics (?topic=) with threaded rendering.
- Bottombar: fixed Inbox - PM - Write - Search - Graphos - Peers.
- Turn the header Personal/Community tabs into links to
/activity?hive=personal|community, so they work on every page (they take
you to the home and filter the hexagons), not only while already on
/activity — no more dead buttons off the home.
- Drop the "All" tab: entering shows all 10 categories; clicking a filter
that is already active toggles it off and shows all again.
- Filter the hive server-side (renderHiveNav reads the request filter set
by the middleware) instead of the CSS radio-hack, and drop the now-dead
half-filter CSS. Active tab is highlighted via the .active class.
- Personal/Community/All header tabs now filter the home hexagon nav (default
All shows the 10; Personal/Community show their 5) via the CSS radio-hack.
Removed the square-accordion sidebars (.sidebar-left/.sidebar-right) they
replaced.
- Wrap the dense activity filter strip (RECENT/ALL/MINE/…) in a collapsible
FILTER dropdown, hidden by default, keeping the hexagons visible above.
- Add the missing English i18n keys (menuCommunity, menuAll, filter, bb*).
renderBottomBar now returns early when OASIS_MOBILE !== '1' (same guard
as renderHiveNav), instead of emitting an inline style="display:none" to
hide it on desktop. The localhost CSP is style-src 'self' without
unsafe-inline, so that inline attribute was blocked there and the bar
could show on the Linux build. Rendering the bar only on mobile removes
the inline style entirely and keeps desktop unaffected.
No change to mobile output (the bar already rendered without inline
style on mobile). Follow-up from the UX security review.
- Link the theme after mobile.css on mobile builds (OASIS_MOBILE=1) so
it wins by cascade; removed ~420 !important, keeping only the few that
override epsylon's inline styles.
- Reveal the quick bar without !important: the inline display:none is
emitted only on desktop.
- Remove unused oasis-mobile-nav.js (it was never linked and would be
blocked by CSP script-src 'none' on clearnet).
- epsylon's mobile.css and OasisMobile.css left untouched.
Rebase onto upstream 0.9.0. Mobile topbar (logo->home, avatar->profile),
hexagon category nav (hive) and bottom bar; remove the six top-bar
buttons (inbox/pm/publish/search/graphos/peers) that cluttered the header.
Theme OasisMobileUX carries topbar/hexagon/bottombar styles.
- Selectable Oasis-Mobile-UX theme; mobile.css kept intact
- Hexagon category launcher on home (10 categories with expandable modules)
- Customizable bottom bar (up to 4 shortcuts, Peers/Invites fixed)
- Empty states and collapsible activity filters
