DorkOS 0.51.0

DorkOS 0.51.0 is about seeing your agents at work. The topology map now shows messages arriving in real time, a new page at dorkos.ai/install collects every way to get DorkOS, and the left sidebar starts open so your agents are visible from the first launch.

Highlights

Watch messages reach your agents

When a connected app like Slack or Telegram delivers a message to one of your agents, the topology map now shows it: a quiet pulse travels along the wire from the app to the agent. You can watch your network working instead of trusting that it is. See it in motion on the topology feature page.

Every way to install DorkOS, on one page

The new dorkos.ai/install page puts every install path in one place: the Mac app, the one-line terminal install, npm, the Windows early alpha, and Docker, plus how to update. The same address still works with curl | bash.

Your agents are visible from the first launch

On desktop, the left sidebar now starts open, so new installs see their agents right away. Your own toggle still wins: close it once and it stays closed.

All Changes

Added

• Watch inbound messages arrive at your agents on the topology map — each message delivered from a connected app sends a quiet pulse along its wire. (DOR-167)
• New install page at dorkos.ai/install with every way to get DorkOS in one place: the Mac app, the one-line terminal install, npm, the Windows early alpha, and Docker, plus how to update. The same address still works with curl | bash, and dorkos.ai/download now sends you there. The site's "Get started" button and homepage link to it.

Changed

• The left sidebar now starts open on desktop for new installs, so your agents are visible from the first launch. Your own toggle still wins: close it once and it stays closed. On phones it still starts closed to save space.

Fixed

• The dorkos.ai marketing pages and blog no longer break when your computer is set to dark mode. Before, the install commands on the homepage showed as dark text on a dark pill, and the blog's email signup box had a muddy gray fill. These pages are light by design; the docs keep their dark mode.
• Code examples in blog posts have their padding back, so commands no longer touch the edge of the box (a leftover from the docs engine upgrade).
• Release posts now get their Install / Update section from one shared template instead of hand-written copies in all 55 posts, so install guidance stays current everywhere.
• Blog dates no longer show one day early for readers west of UTC.
• Same-day releases now list in the right order on the blog (0.45.1 above 0.45.0).
• Opening a Markdown document in the canvas no longer hides the left sidebar or breaks the app layout.
