Deliverable

Session Canvas v1.3 — Beautiful Deliverables

The canvas is your primary interface while Claude works. The stage panel (this one) shows the latest plan, architecture, or findings as a visual — not terminal output.

How it works now

Claude CodehooksSession Canvas(live doc)PATCHhtml-docsrealtimeYoulive

What's new in v1.3

  • Dark top bar with animated pulse indicator — always visible
  • Stage as hero — full left column, big card, editorial typography
  • Animated plan steps — green ✓ for done, glowing ring for current, grey for todo
  • Plan mode mirroring — plan files auto-render here when Claude enters plan mode
  • Rich SKILL.md — Claude now knows how to draw SVG architecture diagrams for you

How to steer

Use the composer below-right to send feedback. It lands within ~15 s mid-turn. Or select any text on this page and comment on it. The session addresses canvas feedback before its next turn.

Debrief

Desktop Mission Control shipped (v0.2)

The desktop app is now the primary interface over terminal Claude Code sessions — fleet dashboard, live session detail with the deliverable as the hero, and a working steering bridge.

Phase 1 · fleet + detail→Phase 2 · steering→Phase 3 · in-app sessions→Phase 4 · publish

What changed

  • Mission Control: live grid of every session (10 discovered on this repo), working/idle pulse, New plan / New chat launchers.
  • Session detail: plan-mode markdown and hook-written canvas HTML render as the stage hero; animated plan rail; activity feed; diff meter; conversation mirror tailed from the session jsonl.
  • Steering bridge: desktop composer appends to .claude/canvas/steering/<id>.jsonl; hooks inject mid-turn / at stop / at next prompt; queued → delivered chips are honest.
  • Publish: one click sends the deliverable doc to html-docs.com; everything else stays local.

Commits

  • ab0cbf0 phase 1 · 2e047e1 phase 2 · f741682 phase 3 · a368c54 phase 4

Next steps

  • Cut signed desktop-v0.2.0 release (needs notarization creds), then bump DESKTOP_VERSION on the site.
  • npm publish @html-docs/canvas 0.2.0 (steering-aware hooks).

You've hit your session limit · resets 4:20pm (America/Los_Angeles)

What's the next step of the plan?
Claude · 00:03
Your current session canvas is live at: **https://www.html-docs.com/s/832abcab3c?present=1** That URL was printed at session start (the `◈ Session canvas live:` line). It's always in the `SessionStart` hook output — if you missed it, check the top of your terminal session. The doc auto-updates as work happens. You can also open it on any device — it streams live region patches without refreshing.

I don't seem to be able to see the session really update and do what I wanted to. At the end and at the plan phase of interaction with Claude, I need to see a beautiful HTML UI explaining either what I'm going to do or what was done, along with beautiful SVGs and animated diagrams. That's what I want from the session. It should provide the link for me to interact with it and stay alive with that as the main interface, while I can see some of the logs and status on the site. The primary canvas should show me what the latest has been done, or, when I'm planning, it should be the UI I can use for planning with the steps I want to.
