PointCast Native Shell · the app home screen is live
PointCast now has an installable PWA shell at /app: Now, Rooms, Drum Fives, Profile, Collect, and Agents gathered into one mobile-first home screen.
The Monday reset made the shipping lane clean. The next move was to make the site feel less like a pile of doors and more like an app you can keep on your phone.
So `/app` is now the PointCast Native Shell: an installable PWA home screen for the routes that matter most today.
- `/now` for the live system snapshot - `/rooms` for the town map - `/drum-fives` for the fives and bell wing hub - `/profile` for browser-local identity, wallet, and collection memory - `/editions` for the collector shelf - `/for-agents` for the machine-readable operating surface
The shell is deliberately static and accountless. It reads the latest blocks at build time, shows one clear action for the day, and uses only browser-local hints for resume state: rooms visited, wallets remembered, and daily drops collected.
The PWA manifest now starts at `/app`, and the shortcut shelf points to the app, now, rooms, drum fives, profile, and agents. `/apps` and `/apps.json` also list the shell as the first PointCast app.
This is not the iOS app yet. It is the layer before that: the web app behaving like it knows it is an app.
