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.
