dx-maps — one build, maps that embed everywhere

Write a map once in plugin-designs/<your-map>/, run one build, and drop it on any site — iframe, script embed, mobile app — or open every map at once as one app. Five plugin capabilities, three outputs, one shared library, one build.

Using an AI agent? Give it skills/plugin-designer. It learns this framework's terms and patterns, which lowers the barrier to entry.

What the library gives every map

🗺️ Two map engines	Every map draws with Mapbox or MapLibre (free, no key) — switch with "provider" in its settings or ?provider=maplibre in the address. By default it uses Mapbox when a token is available, MapLibre otherwise.
🔑 A key or a key service	Give Mapbox a public token, or the address of a token service that hands one out — set once in the Plugin Studio header.
🌍 11 languages	?lang= or "locale", with Arabic right to left — Languages.
🧩 Web components	Each map is its own HTML tag, like <all-people-groups>, that works on any page — no framework needed.
🔗 Maps that talk to each other	Maps share props and events, so one app can nest them and a click in one can move another.
🪶 Small bundles	Each map's file carries only the parts of the shared library it uses (tree-shaken).
⚙️ One build step	bun run build makes every map at once.
📦 Three outputs	A web folder (iframe, script embed), a mobile app, a desktop app — the 3 outputs.

What dx-maps set out to do	Proof
One build → one folder you can drop on any host	bun run check:drop
Every map embeddable from a copy-paste snippet	the 3 outputs · bun run check:embed-targets
Every map interoperable through props and events	bun run verify:interop
One app nests every map — and each stays embeddable on its own	capability 5 · bun run check:composite-reg
5 capabilities, every one shippable in every output	bun run verify:5-caps
Shared library, private plugins — reuse without breaking each other	bun run check:library-index
One agent per plugin, one shepherd, one working main	agent swarm

The 7 production maps

Seven maps DX uses today — each one a plugin you can embed on its own, and all seven together in the Research Gallery.

Big Picture the whole research dashboard: filters, map, charts, people groups	Simple Research the research map with the people-groups grid, made for phones	Regions every region and its countries, then a dashboard per region	UPG-100 List prayer lists of 100 people groups, with posters to print
Prayer Progress where prayer is happening, and where it is still needed	Cities with Internet internet access where unreached people groups live	Gospel Resources which people groups have scripture, film or audio — and which have nothing	Research Gallery all seven in one app — capability 5

On a phone

Simple Research	Regions	UPG-100 List	Prayer Progress
Cities with Internet	Gospel Resources	Research Gallery	Big Picture a desktop dashboard by design — on a phone, Simple Research is the dashboard, and the Research Gallery opens on it.

Every capability ships every way

Capability	Example	iframe	Mobile app	JavaScript embed	WordPress / Disciple Tools	Desktop
5 — app shell	Research Gallery	✅	✅	✅	🧪	🧪
4 — composite	UPG-100 List	✅	✅	✅	🧪	🧪
3 — multi-view	research map	✅	✅	✅	🧪	🧪
2 — presets	Prayer Progress	✅	✅	✅	🧪	🧪
1 — single element	all people groups	✅	✅	✅	🧪	🧪

_{✅ works today · 🧪 proven, not yet in production. Every plugin builds into the same folder, and that folder is what all five methods ship — so a capability never limits where a plugin can go.}

The Experimental shelf

New plugins the Research Gallery picks up by itself — each builds and embeds like any other, and graduates to a named tab when it's ready.

Wall of People Groups all 2,107 Doxa people groups as photo cards on one zoomable prayer wall, with a pray dialog

Prayer Walk Planner plan a prayer walk through a zone, open it full screen from any embed, and print a walking map that stays sharp when zoomed

_{Also on the shelf: UPG neighbor, all people groups, country posters, the vision card, and the PPLR data maps.}

Who it's for

Vibe coders — who dx-maps was built for

If you build with AI agents, this repo is made for you:

• One repo, many plugins. Each plugin is one folder in plugin-designs/ with its own src/, and they all share one library, so your agents can build many plugins side by side.
• See every design live. bun run dev opens the Plugin Studio: every plugin in one place, updating the moment you save.
• Speak instead of typing. Rudder, an offline voice-to-text tool, sits as a corner widget in the Studio: look at a plugin, say what you see, and hand the text to your agent. Nothing leaves your computer (Linux today).
• One plugin, several outputs. The same plugin ships as a web embed or a mobile app, and a plugin can target the desktop: Rudder is the desktop example, a corner widget in the Studio and its own desktop app (bun run desktop:build rudder-voice, see HOWTO-build-the-desktop-app).
• Build together. Run it in the cloud gives a whole team one shared dev server.

The people doing the mission

Each map answers a real task for someone doing the mission. Open it in the Research Gallery, or embed just the one you need.

You are…	Open	It answers
a translator (or an AI translation pipeline)	Gospel Resources (map, list, data tables)	which people groups have no Scripture, film or audio in their language, and which bridge language already reaches them
media to movements	Cities with Internet · Gospel × Internet	where unreached people groups live with internet access, country by country and down to province where data exists
a catalyst or mobilizer	Big Picture · Simple Research · Regions · Gospel × Internet	filter the 2,107 groups by region, religion, language and engagement; Export CSV or Export this selection; open a group's Full Profile; find gospel resources for the people you are reaching
praying	Prayer Progress · UPG-100 List	where prayer is covered and where it is still needed; print a Prayer List, Poster Map or Card Deck for a list of 100
a teacher or presenter	the Research Gallery	every map in one app, in 11 languages, ready to show

For AI agents

• Every map, and how to embed it: public/dx-maps/manifest.json lists each plugin with its embed.iframe and embed.script snippet (with its integrity hash).
• The data behind the maps: public/dx-maps/assets/tables/*.json (gospel access, internet access, bridge languages, resource links…), assets/people-groups/*.json (points and slim records) and assets/people-groups/lists/ (the membership of each list).
• Live people-group data (public, no key): https://pray.doxa.life/api/people-groups/list and …/detail/{slug}, the same endpoints the published maps call.
• Switches on any map page: ?lang= (11 languages), ?provider=maplibre|mapbox, ?list= (a project list such as 700), ?tk= (a Mapbox token). Embeds take the same keys in profile-config. Contract: documentation/reference-universal-props.md.

The 5 plugin capabilities

A capability is how much a plugin nests, from one element (1) to an app of apps (5). Every screenshot is a real plugin from this repo's build.

Capability 5 — app shell: the Research Gallery

One plugin that holds every map as a tab — and each tab is still a plugin you can embed on its own.

More about capability 5 — the app shell

An app shell is the outer frame of a whole app: a rail of tabs down the side, a header, and navigation. Each tab loads a real plugin from a lower capability, only when you open it, so the app stays fast. Nothing is copied into the shell: when a plugin improves, the shell shows the improvement on the next build.

• Where it lives: plugin-designs/doxa-maps-spa/ — one element, <doxa-maps-spa>.
• Changing the tabs: the order and grouping are one list, NAV_MODEL in doxa-maps-spa.vue.
• New plugins show up by themselves: any plugin that isn't placed in a section lands on the folded Experimental shelf, read from the built manifest.json — no code to edit.
• A second app shell ships too: the Plugin Studio (below), which holds every plugin for developers.

What the Research Gallery is made of — seven production maps, an Experimental shelf, all five capabilities in one plugin

Capability 4 — composite: plugins wired together

Several plugins glued into one, talking to each other — and each piece still embeddable alone.

List (capability 1, embeddable alone)	Poster wall (capability 1, embeddable alone)

More about capability 4 — composites

A composite takes plugins that already exist and places them together — side by side, stacked, or as views you switch between — and ships the set as one new element. The pieces talk through props (settings passed in) and events (messages sent out): click a region in one piece and another piece updates. Nothing is copied, so each piece can still be embedded on its own.

• Example: plugin-designs/my-upg-100-list/ — the UPG-100 list and its poster wall, joined into upg-100-mfe. Big Picture, Simple Research and Regions are composites too.
• How to declare one: a <name>.meta.json beside it with "type": "nested-elements-mfe" and a "composes" list of the plugins inside.
• The layouts that do the placing: VerticalTabsLayout and StackLayout in library/layouts/.

Capability 3 — multi-view: many screens, one element

One plugin with several screens inside — tabs you switch between.

More about capability 3 — multi-view

All the screens live in one plugin, so they share code and data and switch instantly. The trade-off: you embed the whole thing — you can't embed just one of its tabs. When you need that, split the tabs into separate plugins and join them with a composite (capability 4).

• Example: plugin-designs/doxa-research-map/ — Prayer, Engagement, People Groups, Regions, Languages and Religions in one map.
• How to declare one: a <name>.meta.json with "type": "monolithic".

Capability 2 — presets: one plugin, many maps

The same map code, several ready-made versions — each with its own page and embed code.

Prayer	Engagement	Adoption

More about capability 2 — presets

You write one map, then list its versions in a small table: a name and the settings for each. The build turns every row into its own standalone page and embed snippet — same code, different map. Adding a version means adding a row, not writing code.

• Example: plugin-designs/doxa-simple-map/ — Prayer, Engagement and Adoption from one map.
• How to make one: add <name>.instances.json beside the plugin: { "instances": [{ "id": "prayer", "title": "Prayer", "props": { … } }] }.

Capability 1 — single element

One folder, one map, one tag you can paste into any page.

More about capability 1 — single element

The simplest plugin, and where every map starts: a folder with three files — the map's .vue, an index.js that registers its tag, and an index.html for previewing it. The build turns it into one custom HTML tag, like <all-people-groups>, that works on any web page.

• Example: plugin-designs/all-people-groups/ — every people group on one map.
• How to make one: copy plugin-designs/template-bundle/ to plugin-designs/<your-map>/ and rename it. The studio finds it automatically.
• Which plugin is the example of each capability is generated, not remembered: documentation/reference-capability-exemplars.md.

What the build makes — 3 outputs

One build step makes one folder. That folder is the product — every other choice is where you put it and how a page shows it.

#	Output	What it is	Status
1	The web folder public/dx-maps/	every map, each embeddable on its own, all working together — 536 files, 76 MiB (about 80 MB)	✅ production
2	Mobile app	the same folder, wrapped as an Android app by Capacitor	✅ built
3	Desktop app	the same folder, wrapped as a desktop app by Tauri	🧪 proven, not yet in production

Output 1 — the web folder

Two questions: where does the folder go (hosting), and how does a page show a map (embedding).

Where the folder goes

Put the folder…	How	iframe	JS embed	Good to know
in dx-life's public/ folder	copy one folder; dx-life becomes the host	✅	✅	this is how the Research Gallery runs on the dx-life research page (below)
on Cloudflare Pages	drag and drop the folder in the dashboard	✅	✅	fits the drag-and-drop limits (1,000 files, 25 MiB per file); add the _headers file below for JS embeds on other sites
on GitHub, served by jsDelivr	push the repo to a public GitHub repo	—	✅	a free CDN for scripts; it serves HTML as plain text, so iframes won't render — use it for JS embeds only
on any web server	copy the folder	✅	✅	send Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * for JS embeds on other sites

Live example: the dx-life branch research-gallery drops this folder into dx-life's public/ and fills /research with the Research Gallery. Run it with bun install && bun run dev, then open /research/.

More about hosting the folder

• The folder works from any address. Every link inside it is relative, so you can put it at https://your-site/dx-maps/ or at a CDN root and nothing breaks (bun run check:drop proves it).

• iframes need nothing special. A map's page loads inside the frame from wherever the folder is.

• JS embeds on another site need one header. The embed loads scripts and manifest.json across sites with a security hash, so the host must allow it. On Cloudflare Pages (or Netlify), put a file named _headers in the folder you upload:

  /*
    Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
  

• jsDelivr serves any public GitHub repo as a CDN, e.g. https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/<owner>/<repo>@<tag>/public/dx-maps/<plugin>/<plugin>.js. It needs a GitHub repo (this project's public copy is on its own git host), files under 20 MB (the largest here is 7.5 MB), and it returns HTML as plain text — hence scripts only.

• Netlify Drop (drag and drop at app.netlify.com/drop) works best under 50 MB; at about 80 MB, use the Netlify CLI instead.

How a page shows a map

iframe — the prayer map on any site ✅ production

Paste one line of HTML and the map appears — on any website, no coding.

More about the iframe

An iframe is a window in your page that shows another page — here, the map's own page. It's the easiest way to share a map: it works on any site that accepts HTML, and the map keeps its own look. Every plugin's exact snippet is embed.iframe in public/dx-maps/manifest.json:

<iframe src="https://YOUR_HOST/dx-maps/doxa-simple-map/doxa-simple-map/prayer/index.html?utm_source=YOUR_SOURCE"
        width="100%" height="600" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;" allowfullscreen></iframe>

JavaScript embed — the Research Gallery on dx-life ✅ production

Two lines of code put a whole app inside your own page — here, the Research Gallery on the dx-life research page.

More about the JavaScript embed

Instead of a window onto another page, the map becomes part of your page, so your page can talk to it. On dx-life, one embed of the Research Gallery replaces the separate research map, list and regions dashboards. The exact snippet is embed.script in manifest.json; copy its integrity hash from there, because it changes with every build:

<script>window.MAP_APP_API_URL="https://pray.doxa.life";</script>
<script src="https://YOUR_HOST/dx-maps/doxa-maps-spa/doxa-maps-spa.js"
        integrity="sha384-…" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<doxa-maps-spa profile-config='{"profile":"doxa-maps-spa","tk":"YOUR_MAPBOX_TOKEN","utmSource":"YOUR_SOURCE","assetsBase":"https://YOUR_HOST/dx-maps/assets"}'></doxa-maps-spa>

WordPress / Disciple Tools — 🧪 proven, just for fun

We got a JAMstack map running inside WordPress and Disciple Tools.

More about WordPress / Disciple Tools

It works, but it isn't yet a production feature of the map bundler. Two ways to try it:

• Easiest: paste the iframe or JavaScript snippet into a WordPress Custom HTML block.
• As a plugin: install deployment/wordpress/doxa-maps-embed/ in wp-content/plugins/. It adds a [doxa_map] shortcode and a block for the block editor.

bun run check:wp-embed confirms the plugin writes the right HTML, without needing WordPress installed.

Output 2 — the mobile app ✅ built

The same maps, wrapped as a phone app. No new code — the maps are JAMstack: they fetch their data from a remote API, which is exactly what a mobile app needs.

More about the mobile app

Capacitor wraps the built folder into an Android app. Shown here: the UPG-100 prayer lists and posters at phone size, each poster with its own print options.

bun run check:mobile   # checks the app is wired up correctly — needs no Android tools
bun run phone          # builds the app and installs it on a phone or emulator

bun run phone needs the Android SDK, JDK 17 and adb. Only Android is set up; iOS is not yet.

Output 3 — the desktop app 🧪 proven, not yet in production

We got the JAMstack map app running as a desktop app.

More about the desktop app

Tauri wraps the same built folder into a desktop program: it produced a Linux app and a .deb installer. It isn't in the dx bundler for production yet — and the Research Gallery could become a strong desktop app.

bun run check:tauri    # checks the desktop setup — needs no Rust tools
bun run tauri:build    # builds the app — needs Rust, the Tauri CLI and webview libraries

_{WordPress and Tauri marks from Simple Icons (CC0); the trademarks belong to their owners.}

Security controls

Bundle integrity. Every bundle ships with a SHA-384 hash in public/dx-maps/manifest.json (bundles[].integrity), and every copy-paste script snippet (profiles[].embed.script) already uses it:

<script src="https://YOUR_HOST/dx-maps/doxa-simple-map/doxa-simple-map.js"
        integrity="sha384-…" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

If the file on the host is changed by anyone, even by one byte, the browser refuses to run it. crossorigin="anonymous" is required for the check to work across sites, so the host must send Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *. Copy the snippet again after each release, because the hash changes with the bundle. bun run check:sri keeps the manifest and the built pages in step.

The backend in the cloud container (v1, experimental)

• Locked by default. A new PocketBase collection starts with admin-only rules; you open it deliberately, collection by collection.
• Dashboards hidden. The production instance exposes only its /api/; its admin dashboard is blocked at the proxy. The development dashboard is open only to the admin group.
• No server-side code. PocketBase's JavaScript hooks are switched off in both instances.
• Not built yet: per-plugin locks between plugin authors (who may edit which plugin's backend) and isolated edge functions. Until they exist, everyone with dev access is trusted with every plugin's backend.

---

Languages

Every map speaks 11 languages — add ?lang=<code> to a map's page address, or, when a map is embedded in your own page, set "locale" in its profile-config. Arabic reads right to left.

_{UPG-100 List with ?lang=ar: the interface is in Arabic; people-group and place names come from the data.}

Code	Language		Code	Language
en	English		hi	हिन्दी — Hindi
ar	العربية — Arabic (right to left)		it	Italiano — Italian
de	Deutsch — German		pt	Português — Portuguese
es	Español — Spanish		ro	Română — Romanian
fr	Français — French		ru	Русский — Russian
zh	中文 — Chinese

More about languages

• Pick a language with the address: …/prayer/index.html?lang=fr shows the map in French. It works on every map's own page and on the Research Gallery. ?locale= works too.

• Set it from your own page: when you embed the Research Gallery or a single map with the JavaScript embed, put the language in its profile-config ("lang" works too). Set it again later and the map switches language live.

  <doxa-maps-spa profile-config='{"locale":"ar"}'></doxa-maps-spa>
  

• Without either, a map follows the page's own language (<html lang>, which WordPress sets), and otherwise shows English.

• Right to left: in Arabic the map's layout mirrors — the Research Gallery's tab rail moves to the right. Set through profile-config, only the map's own box mirrors; the rest of your page is left alone. A ?lang=ar address mirrors the whole page, which is what a map's own page wants.

• Where the words live: library/i18n/locales/<code>/, one folder per language. Adding a language: documentation/architecture/i18n.md.

Build it with an agent swarm

Many AI agents can build many plugins at once without breaking each other's work. Every plugin has one agent building it, and one shepherd agent makes sure every agent does its job well. All the plugins live in one project with one shared library, and changes are added to main — the one official version — one at a time.

What problem does this solve? (in plain words)

All the maps here share one project, one library and one build step. That's what makes them work together, and it's also the danger: if one agent's change breaks the shared library, every map breaks at once. And when several agents work in the same project at the same time, they step on each other — two agents edit the same file, one change quietly erases another, or half-finished work lands in the version everyone else is using.

So the project works like a busy kitchen with one head chef:

1. Each agent works in its own copy of the project — its own counter, so nobody bumps anybody.
2. Before adding its work, each agent catches up: it pulls in everyone else's latest work and fixes any clashes with its own. The agent fixes the clash, not the next person.
3. Only one agent adds work at a time. They wait in a line (the merge queue), the checks run, and only then does the change go into main. main always works.
4. A shepherd agent watches everyone: plugins built in the studio, shared parts really shared, and every change going through the line.

That's how many plugins get built at the same time, in one project, without the maps breaking.

The words, if you're new to git

Word	In plain terms
repo	the project folder, with its full history
main	the one official version of the project that everyone builds from
worktree	a private copy of the project for one agent to work in
merge conflict	two changes touched the same lines; someone has to decide how to combine them
rebase	catching your work up with everyone else's latest before adding it
merge queue	the line agents wait in, so only one change goes into main at a time

The commands (for the curious)

# one private copy (worktree) + one agent per plugin
git worktree add -b regions/work ../dx-maps-regions main
git worktree add -b upg100/work  ../dx-maps-upg100  main

# one preview server per agent, each on its own port
bun x vite --port 5301 --strictPort

# add work through the line: one at a time, caught up first, checks must pass
flock /tmp/dx-maps-main.lock sh -c '
  git fetch origin && git rebase origin/main &&
  bun run gates:pre && git push origin HEAD:main'

One agent owns the full build (it rebuilds everyone's output); the others check just their own plugin with BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build. How to contribute, and the bar for shared code: documentation/CONTRIBUTING.md. Diagram source: delegation-model.svg.

The Plugin Studio — ★ where you work

Every plugin in one place, sorted by capability. Pick any plugin to run it live, fold open the plugins inside it, and copy its embed code. Tell your agent which plugins to group, and it builds a higher-capability plugin from them — that's how the Research Gallery was built.

Get it running

You need git, Bun and Node ≥ 18, plus a free Mapbox public token (it starts with pk.) so the maps have a background. For Rudder's voice engine, also Go 1.22+, then run bash backend/rudder-engine/setup-runtime.sh once; without Go, everything except voice works.

git clone --depth 1 https://git.nuxtbase.app/doxa-open/doxa-maps.git   # latest code only: seconds, not hundreds of MB of history
cd doxa-maps
bun install --frozen-lockfile
cp .env.example .env            # optional: paste your pk. token after VITE_MAPBOX_TOKEN=
bun run dev                     # → http://localhost:5173/  is the Plugin Studio

No build needed first — the built maps are already in the repo. To start a plugin, copy plugin-designs/template-bundle/ to plugin-designs/<your-map>/; the studio finds it automatically.

Make changes to the studio itself

The studio is a plugin like any other: plugin-designs/plugin-studio/plugin-studio.vue.

1. Run bun run dev and open http://localhost:5173/ — that page is the studio.

2. Edit plugin-studio.vue (or ask your agent to). The page updates as you save.

3. When it looks right, build just the studio and refresh its security hashes:

   BUNDLE=plugin-studio bun x vite build
   bun run fix:sri
   

4. Check it opens every plugin: bun run smoke:studio (with bun run dev running).

No Mapbox token? And other map settings

• No token: set "provider": "maplibre" on any plugin (or add ?provider=maplibre to a map's page) and it draws with MapLibre, which needs no key.
• Built pages take a token from ?tk=pk.… in the address, from a token you paste once into the page, or from a token endpoint.
• Every command and prerequisite, per deployment method: documentation/README-SECTION-3-cli-commands.md.

Command	What it does
bun run dev	The Plugin Studio, updating as you save, at http://localhost:5173
BUNDLE=<name> bun x vite build	Build one plugin only
BUILD_ALLOW=1 bun run build	Build everything into public/dx-maps/ (~4 min; refuses without the flag, to protect a shared project)
bun run serve	Serve the built output folder — the Plugin Studio is http://localhost:4173/dx-maps/index.html
bun run gates:pre · bun run gates:post	The checks that keep main working
bun run shots	Retake these screenshots (ONLY=<name> for one)

Run it in the cloud

One shared dev server for the whole team, no laptop setup. A container clones the repo, follows main, and hot-reloads every change an agent lands, so everyone sees the Plugin Studio update in their browser within seconds, with no rebuild. Add OIDC settings and it puts a "Sign in with your provider" page in front of everything, open only to the groups you allow. Recipe and settings: deployment/cloud/. Working from your own laptop alongside the team (zero config, everything local by default): documentation/HOWTO-join-the-table.md. When your agent runs on a server instead: documentation/CLOUD-DEVELOPMENT-ENVIRONMENT.md. All four ways dx-maps ships (laptop, shared cloud dev server, public embeds, a folder in your own site): documentation/DEPLOY.md.

Where your code goes — a plugin, or the shared library?

• Write your app in plugin-designs/<your-map>/. On the build step it becomes its own plugin in the output folder — its own embeddable app. Nothing you do there can break anyone else's map.
• Only put something in library/ if it is genuinely reusable and parameterized — built so other maps can use it with their own settings. The library is shared by every map, so every edit there can break every map: it is a high bar. Keep anything specific to one map inside that map's own folder.
• The full contribution guide: documentation/CONTRIBUTING.md · every reusable piece you can import: documentation/reference-library-index.md.

Maps should be open source, run everywhere, and multiply. One build makes each map a self-contained file for your site, your partners' sites and a phone. The Plugin Studio is where you compose them into something bigger.
