whiteboat-dsh

Before you commit to a real DSH session, Whiteboat gives you a quiet water surface to look at. Simply gazing at it creates no Session, no Prompt, and no AI call. When you decide to type, the composer prepares at most one blank Session; only an explicit non-empty send initiates a conversation. This visual buffer separates the act of opening a tool from the act of starting to think.

The surface reuses Whiteboat's shared water canvas, including boat pointer navigation, mobile roaming, wake intensity, and celestial projection, all visually cohesive. The composer, Workspace, Agent presets, commands, permissions, model, reasoning level, draft, and send lifecycle remain fully native to DSH with no extra abstraction layer. Users can adjust boat follow speed between 50% and 200% in settings, applied instantly and persisted, without altering Session or projection semantics. Mobile provides plain-text input only, with no microphone permission requests or speech-recognition API calls.

Best for DeepSeek Harness users who want a ritualized pause before each conversation, prefer boat navigation and celestial-projection aesthetics, or need a lightweight text-input experience on mobile. It does not replace DSH; it layers a sense of not-yet-begun on top of it.
