dsh-plugin-better-mobile-ui

A dsh web client plugin that makes the GUI usable on phones/tablets (viewport ≤ 768px by default). It only activates in the mobile media query — desktop is byte-for-byte untouched.

Install

From GitHub

dsh plugin --profile web add github:davidgereb/dsh-plugin-better-mobile-ui

Then add the loader row to the profile patch file ($DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml):

- insert:
    - id: ui-better-mobile
      name: dsh-plugin-better-mobile-ui

The server must re-boot to pick up a NEW plugin entry (the patch hot-reload does not fire on every deployment); after that, refresh the GUI page once.

From a local checkout

# 1. build
node scripts/build-client.js
# 2. make the package resolvable by the profile
dsh plugin --profile web link /path/to/dsh-plugin-better-mobile-ui
# 3. register the loader row in cordis.patch.yml (see above)

What it fixes

1. Sidebar → swipe drawer — the sidebar grid track is forced to 0 on mobile, so the collapsed 56px rail no longer eats screen space. The sidebar becomes an off-canvas drawer:
   • swipe right anywhere on the conversation (mid-screen works — Android owns the screen edges) to slide it in;
   • swipe left anywhere to go back (see the navigation stack below);
   • the ☰ button in the top bar toggles it;
   • the app's own layout store is kept in the "expanded" state on mobile, so the drawer always shows the full sidebar (sessions, workspaces), never the icon rail.
2. Settings as drawer screens (Android-settings style navigation stack). The app's settings modal renders inside the sidebar column, so on mobile it becomes two screens:
   • tapping Settings in the drawer shows the section list (General, Models, Plugins, …) filling the drawer, with a ← back arrow;
   • selecting a section expands the drawer to the full viewport as the settings page;
   • the X dismisses back to the settings list; the left-swipe backs are fully drag-follow like the sidebar — the drawer follows the finger and snaps on release: settings page → settings list → sidebar → hidden.
