4.128.0

7 Nov 2026

The menu, rethought around real use (the owner, 11-07: Jump back in came first, people opened Sites every time just to reach Live, and it "doesn't spread traffic … not smartly done based on what's popular"). Network's data that day: Video, Live and Community take nearly all the page views, 48 of 67 signed-in people used one site, and people move Live ↔ Community, Live ↔ Tools, Chat → Live, Live → Bot and Live → Video. One calm scroll, no tabs, in this order:
- Who is live: "3 streams live now · 41 watching" and the live channels when Network names them (pulse.live).
- Your places: a dock of eight big icons, the places this person uses most (else the network's most used, without developer services). One tap to Live from any site.
- On <this site>: the bar's own links, two to a row, the rest behind "More on <site> (N)".
- Next from <this site>: where people really go next (Network's moves; the Frame's next when it sends one).
- New to you: two places this person never used, picked fairly from the ranked network so every place gets its turn; developer services only for people who use one. The pick holds for the whole opening.
- You (signed in): your agents and Vibe (they open in the Dock), account, wallet, themes, machines.
- Tools, Recent searches, then Every OpenVibe site (N) as one counted fold (this site's group first), and Jump back in last.
open({ tab: 'sites' }) opens the list of every site and tab: 'tools' scrolls to the tools, so old callers keep working.
A click beacon, only when Network asks for it (frame.menu.beacon): the section, the position, where it led and the kind; no person and no page, so the menu can learn what helps and the ranking can spread people across the network.
Touch screens get 44 px chips and header links.
Sites put their own content in the menu (the owner, 11-07: "content aware … sites can interact and create their own content in the bar"), two ways:
- On their own pages, a card: a site pushes { id, title, render(el, api) } onto window.OpenVibeMenuCards (a queue that works before search.js loads) or calls OpenVibeSearch.registerCard(). The card draws itself under the workspace: Download's drop zone, Live's go-live status, Codes' new task. It is the site's own code on its own page. A card that throws is left out.
- On every site, from Network: the Frame's cards (Network collects each site's /.well-known/openvibe-menu.json). The menu draws at most two, as a rail, rows or chips: Live's channels with their viewers, Games' new worlds, Video's trending. They are text and links only, re-checked here, and never another site's code.
Back closes the menu first (the owner: Back on a phone left the page). Opening adds one history entry; Back pops it and only closes the menu. Choosing a link leaves cleanly.
The whole screen on a phone, opened from the bar's orb as a circle that grows from the orb, under the safe area. No motion when reduced motion is asked for.
Your workspace (signed in), right under your places: Agents and Vibe (open in the Dock), Codes, Files, Machines, Wallet, Account and Themes, one tap from every site (the owner: "access codes through this menu easily, and talk to your agent … less having to hop between sites").
What's new: the newest real change on each site from the network changelog (library bumps left out), newest first, marked New when it shipped after your last visit there, each linking to that site's /updates.
The full list of sites: the flagships first (Live, Video, Codes, Design, Space, Games, Chat, Tools), then every group; each site with its icon, a two-line description (no more cut-off words on a phone) and its own domain.
Every site has its own icon (ov-icons.js, regenerated from Font Awesome Free 6 by scripts/build-nav-icons.py): Cam a camera, Casino dice, Surf waves, Fun masks, Meme a laughing face, Tours a compass, Vision binoculars, Shoes, Today, Report, Design, Domains, Exchange and Bench. Until now they borrowed a neighbour's (Cam showed Video's, Casino and Surf the gamepad, Fun Quest's trophy).
No spinning rings anywhere (ov-icons.js; the owner, 10-31 and again 11-07 on Surf's and Space's cards: "things only spin if they're active"). The ring icons' comet spun forever on every icon on every site. Now the comet, the pulse and the bounce run only while data-state="busy"; at rest an icon is its ring and glyph with a small lift on hover. data-fx now says what *busy* looks like. Every site loses the idle spin with this release.
