/app-hub is the incubation route group for productized platform cockpits inside Prox OS. These Hubs are not generic settings pages and they are not standalone top-level products yet. They make platform capability visible through curated modules, mock data, route entries, and documentation before real backends are connected.
The current App Hub platform set is:
| Hub | Route | Core question | Product role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connectors Hub | /app-hub/connectors | Where is my data, and how can it enter the OS? | Data integration, source control, schema inspection, dashboard preparation. |
| Launcher Hub | /app-hub/launcher | How do external websites and small apps launch inside Prox OS? | External app runtime, URL registry, iframe fallback, launch rules. |
| Design System Hub | /app-hub/design-system | How should OS apps be composed, and how should AI follow the UI language? | Design system, UI patterns, style packs, and AI-readable app recipes. |
| Live Center | /app-hub/live-center | Who is here now, where are people gathered, and how should live state work? | Presence, rooms, visitor experience, multiplayer, collaboration, and activity. |
Shared positioning:
Connect data.
Compose apps.
Launch everything.
Feel live.Current Boundary
The first version is UI-first and local-state-first:
- bundled mock data only;
- static app registry entries;
- no real credentials;
- no real OAuth;
- no provider SDKs;
- no database writes;
- no dangerous iframe bypass;
- no production sync engine.
Relationship To Other Hubs
Connectors Hub is distinct from Personal Data Sovereignty Hub. Connectors Hub connects external SaaS, databases, work tools, no-code tools, low-code tools, cloud sources, feeds, AI metadata sources, and future local bridge sources. Personal Data Sovereignty Hub governs long-term ownership, portability, privacy, permissions, audit, backups, import/export, lifecycle, and user control.
Launcher Hub is distinct from Connectors Hub. Launcher Hub starts and organizes external pages and small apps; it does not read their data model. If a site cannot be embedded, Launcher Hub uses preview plus open-in-new-tab fallback instead of bypassing browser security.
Design System Hub is distinct from Storybook. Storybook remains the developer workbench. Design System Hub is the OS-native product entry for components, patterns, style packs, and AI-readable app construction recipes.
Live Center is distinct from Visitor App. Live Center is the /app-hub incubator
for future OS-level presence, rooms, multiplayer, collaboration, and activity
runtime concepts. Visitor App is the /app-user privacy-first dashboard for OS
Home presence and visitor experience.
