SDK 0.2 — beta testing track is live

Build mini-apps that run in the car

i99dash hosts third-party HTML / JS / CSS bundles on car head-units. Read context, call your backend, ship to a public catalog. Five minutes from init to live.

Quickstart (5 min)What is a mini-app?

Read-only by constructionSame code, dev to prod

Car dashboard with i99dash mini-app tiles: live car status, fuel prices, weather, parking.

What you get out of the box

The SDK is small on purpose. Every surface earned its place by removing a class of bug.

Five-minute path to live

pnpm dlx scaffolds, dev-server boots in 300 ms with a fake host. Validate, login, publish — all CLI.

Any framework that builds static

Next.js (output: export), Nuxt, Vite, Svelte, plain HTML — all work. The host loads bytes, not your stack.

Privacy- and safety-first

No actuators, no telemetry from the SDK. Privileged ops gated by user consent + 30-day session caps.

Live car-status streaming

Subscribe to door / battery / lock state with one call. Backpressure + page-visibility handled for you.

Test like normal code

MiniAppClient.withBridge(fake) is the only seam. No jsdom, no platform channels — runs in pure Node.

Auto-generated API reference

Every public type, class, and exit code rendered from JSDoc. Edit the SDK; the docs follow within minutes.

Quickstart

Three commands to a live mini-app

No accounts, no DNS, no backend required to start. The dev-server simulates the host so you ship on day one.

1Scaffold with the CLI — vanilla, React, or Vue.
2pnpm dev boots a control panel for driving / VIN / locale / theme.
3pnpm publish to the catalog (or beta track for a small cohort first).

One bridge between your code and the world

Your app never calls window.location or fetch() directly. Every input and output crosses one typed seam — testable, mockable, stable.

Mini-app talks to the i99dash host through a typed JS bridge. The host proxies API calls to the backend. The dev-server attaches the same bridge locally with mock fixtures.

For AI agents

Built for coding assistants, too

The site exposes /llms.txt and a Streamable-HTTP MCP server with structured search and per-page fetch. Most coding assistants discover this automatically.
