Doxa Maps 674d56559a The joining page's database section, now that the team default is the shared one
repo END-REPO-PBDOC: the Driver's decision went live and REVERSED their earlier instruction to me. When I
first wrote this section repo said to leave DX_PB_URL out entirely, because it sat behind the team sign-in
and failed from a laptop. It is now the TEAM DEFAULT, and the local database is the fallback.

So the section is rewritten rather than appended to: a joiner is now told to set
DX_PB_URL=https://<your team's dev server>/pb, that they sign in with the same team account and there is no
separate password, and that leaving it unset still gives them a private local one — which is a fine way to
start. Placeholder host in the public text, not ours.

⚠ THE OPENING LINE WAS QUIETLY WRONG AFTER THE CHANGE and I nearly left it. "There are three databases and
you only ever touch one" was true when the local one was the only option a joiner had; now they touch the
shared one OR a local one depending on one env line. The claim that actually matters — and is still exactly
true — is that they never touch the third. Now reads "You work against one of the first two — never the
third." A sentence can survive an edit around it and stop being true without looking any different.

Added the detail repo gave that a reader needs and would not guess: new collections start LOCKED until a
migration opens them, deliberately, so nothing is public by accident. That reinforces the schema-as-commits
point the section already makes rather than sitting beside it.

Names unchanged and re-verified: DX_PB_URL points at the PocketBase root (.../pb), DX_PB_PORT for the
port-in-use case. No internal hostnames anywhere in the file.

  • why.md — the problem and the "map islands" idea. Start here.
  • tutorial.md — build your first map, no jargon.
  • how-to.md — recipes: embed, iframe, SPA, colors, CDN, mobile, tokens.
  • reference.md — config fields, build scripts, the profile-config contract.
  • explanation.md — the model in 15 lines.
  • architecture/ — the deep end: full contracts, the per-file catalog.
  • README-embed-example.md — the drop-in README used when this bundler is embedded inside a host repo.
  • README-embed-gospel-resources.md — the gospel map's URL contract for partner embeds: bring your own ISO 639-3 list, one country, one group, or the zero-access view.

Working on the repo:

Nothing on the simple path is longer than a few minutes; everything complex lives in architecture/, linked from where you'd need it.
