dsh-powerdesk

Writing code, reading files, and running commands inside a DSH chat session usually means breaking context: hopping to a terminal app, opening an IDE, then coming back. dsh-powerdesk embeds a lightweight IDE workbench directly into the DSH web UI as a dockable right panel and a dockable bottom panel, so you can develop without ever leaving the conversation page.

Six tools live as tabs in the dual draggable panel: a GPU-accelerated terminal built on restty (WebGPU/WebGL2 + WASM VT) backed by a Rust PTY via napi-rs and portable-pty, delivering noticeably faster I/O than the stock C++ node-pty; a file explorer with bookmarked local folders and per-file relative-path and absolute-path copy actions for chat mentions; a Markdown notes app that recursively lists .md files under a bound folder with inline create, rename, and delete; a CodeMirror 6 editor with syntax highlighting for TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, JSON, CSS, HTML, Markdown, Rust, and YAML, plus live theme switching; a sandboxed embedded browser that probes X-Frame-Options and frame-ancestors headers and explains embedding refusals instead of showing a blank frame; and a schedule-x calendar over a local SQLite database, lazy-loaded so it never weighs down startup. Any tab can be dragged to a pane edge to split it or dragged across panels to move it entirely, using the same drag-and-drop model as VS Code split editors.

It is built for developers who use DSH daily for coding, debugging, and documentation work and want every supporting tool kept one tab-click away from the chat. The terminal connection, editor undo stack, and browser state all persist while you switch between tabs, so a quick note lookup or a grep in the terminal never costs you your place in the conversation.
