The Dashboard (#/d) is the instrument panel for a Lolly install: the brand it is wearing, what this device can do, the platform's capability map and a glance at your activity and storage. Four tabs, everything on them a read-out rather than a control - the one exception is the sound switch.
It opens on Design system. The other three are one click away, and every tab and every section on them has an address of its own.
| Tab | Address | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| This device | #/d?tab=device | A live readout of the browser and machine this session is running on, plus sound and storage |
| Design system | #/d?tab=brand | The brand in force - logo, colours, type, tokens, print reference. Read-only |
| Capabilities | #/d?tab=caps | The whole platform as searchable cards, grouped by what they do |
| Activity & stats | #/d?tab=activity | What ships in this build, plus your own local counters and recent work |
Switching a tab rewrites the address as you go, so the link you copy is the tab you are looking at.
This device
- This Machine - screen, input, graphics, memory, codecs, storage backend and the rest, read live from this session. Nothing is stored and nothing is sent. It opens by itself on a wide screen, where the tab lays out in two columns, and stays folded on a narrow one.
- Sound - interface sounds and the Neurospicy focus loops. This is the one switch on the page that writes anything, and the choice follows you across the app.
- Storage - what Lolly is keeping on this device, category by category. A read-only view of the meter on your Profile, which is where you clear or carry it.
Design system
The brand as it is actually loaded, rendered wearing its own variables: the name, the horizontal logo, the primary colour as a copyable value and the faces currently loaded on the device. Below the hero sit the palette on a hue/chroma wheel (greys have no hue, so they ride a lightness rail beside it), a live type specimen, the full colour palette, the brand token primitives - radius, spacing, effects, gradients - and a print and CMYK reference panel.
Nothing on this tab writes brand state. It is a mirror: the editing happens in the Brand Studio at #/start, and the tab links there from the hero and from the tokens section. On a brand-locked build there is nothing to edit at all, and a Brand locked panel says so - the brand ships with the build, comes from the catalogue and is authoritative on that install.
Personal preferences live elsewhere too: theme and sound are on your Profile, not here.
/band/brandare shortlinks straight to this tab. The retired#/platformand#/capabilitiesaddresses both fold into the Dashboard, deep-link flags intact.
Capabilities
Every part of the platform written up as a card, in eleven groups: Experiences, Platforms & runtimes, Export formats, Import formats, Print production, Automation & AI, Determinism & reproducibility, Brand & design system, Privacy & data ownership, Security & access control and Architecture. Each group folds, carries its own card count and opens a card into a dialog with that capability's feature list and - for about half of them - the same vector screenshot this documentation site uses.
A search field above the groups filters the cards as you type and force-opens whichever groups still hold a match, so a query turns the accordion into a flat result list. It says how many capabilities it is searching, and a query that matches nothing says that in words rather than leaving you with a column of empty sections.
This map is written documentation of what Lolly can do, kept in step with the guides and the export bridge. It is not a probe of the machine you are on - that is the This device tab, one click to the left.
Activity & stats
The build first: how many tools are loaded, how many export formats exist, how many surfaces the platform runs on and how many brand assets the catalogue carries, with a Catalogue panel breaking down what ships in this build.
Then your own side of it: Your activity counts what you have made on this device (local counters, nothing recorded remotely), and Recent creations and Latest exports are swipeable stacks of your saved sessions and downloaded files, each appearing only once there is something to show. Both open an item exactly as it was.
Deep links
Every destination on the page is addressable, and the same registry the Dashboard renders from is what Search points its Settings results at - so a section can never be renamed out from under a search result.
- A tab:
#/d?tab=brand,#/d?tab=caps,#/d?tab=device,#/d?tab=activity. - A section, exactly: its own id as a bare flag -
#/d?dash-storage,#/d?dash-tokens,#/d?cap-formats. This is the precise form. - A section by keyword:
#/d?print,#/d?formats,#/d?palette,#/d?tokens. Convenient, but keywords are shared -printbelongs to both the brand tab's print reference and the Print production capability group - and the first one in page order wins. Use the id when it matters which.
A deep link switches to the tab that owns the target, opens it (and any group it is folded inside), then scrolls to it, re-landing for a moment or so while the asynchronous sections above it finish laying out.
