dsh-power-launch

Using dsh web on Windows tends to come with two small frictions: every startup means opening a terminal and typing a command, and shutting down feels risky because closing the browser tab can leave the port locked for the next launch. dsh-power-launch is a companion plugin built to remove both.

Once installed, it quietly takes care of three things. It keeps a desktop shortcut with the official whale icon on your desktop at all times, self-healing if you delete it or fixing it if something tampered with it. A power button appears in the bottom-right of the Web UI and, after a second-confirmation tap, exits the host process cleanly, frees the port immediately, and closes the tab without the risk of an accidental crash restart. When you double-click the desktop shortcut, a launcher first kills any lingering port, checks for and applies an update via the domestic npmmirror, starts dsh web as a hidden background process, and opens your browser once the UI is ready; if the network check times out it degrades gracefully and launches the locally installed version instead.

If you work in dsh web on Windows and want a double-click-to-go experience with a stress-free shutdown, this plugin keeps your flow one terminal window shorter and one less thing to worry about.
