๐Ÿฌ the kandi bar

the kandi bar โ€” make it, name it, gift it, cross it, show it
String beads, name it, then hand a line of text to someone you already talk to. Nothing leaves your arm until you say you handed it over. Show is a preview link, not proof they are the only holder. This browser keeps your arms; there is no inbox and no account. Your first kandi is already on your left arm.
make it. name it. do the handshake. peace, love, unity โ€” and on respect, the kandi crosses. right arm trades, left arm keeps, and the crossing doesn't move until something lands in your hand. no feed, no room, nobody's inbox โ€” the string goes hand to hand down whatever channel you two already share, and the moment it lands it's theirs. what somebody made FOR you never re-trades: no gift button, no crossing button, ever, on that arm โ€” that much really is code. and a string is a copy, not a token: once you've handed it over you can't un-hand it, which is exactly why the piece leaves your arm when you give it.
Format: KND1|maker|for|ts36|beads|fnv โ€” beads as [0-9] color indices and [A-Z] letter beads; FNV-1a/32 over the payload, base36. A checksum, not a signature โ€” it catches a mistyped string, not a forged one, and a maker name is a claim, never an attestation. This page makes no outside request on load. Ruled 2026-08-26: rails-badge.js paints a status BAKED at build time from a real get_info read (head 516799778, 2026-08-26) and prints that bake's date, so a stale bake advertises its own staleness; it POSTs {} to eos.api.eosnation.io (falling back to eos.greymass.com) only when a reader taps โ†ป โ€” that request carries no kandi and no soul name, but your IP, User-Agent and its timing reach a third party, which is why it is now yours to choose. The only other request is lang.js GETting lang-corpus.json same-origin, and only when your language is not English. Receipt: a network capture of this page records zero cross-origin requests on load, and exactly one after the tap. State is localStorage only (bkandi written here; the riders own bregister, blang, btranslated_pref, bnr_rails_pin), no cookies, no sessionStorage, no IndexedDB, and no XHR, WebSocket, sendBeacon or analytics tag anywhere in the chain. Gift, cross and show all terminate in the OS clipboard โ€” the carrying is done by the person, and "show it" copies a #k= fragment, not a query, so a shared piece never enters the host's request log; it does still put the maker and made-FOR names in the opener's address bar and history, because the piece IS its seed. Arriving with a fragment only pre-fills the receive box and never writes storage. No DM transport, no relay, no inbox, no video: open, not built, and said plainly. Clipboard write success is not a receive receipt. Animation never retires a piece; a deliberate local handoff writes the full export to the memory line first. A Show link is a copyable preview, not exclusive gift evidence. Crossing is two local handoffs, never an escrow. Names may use letters from any language; bead letters stay [0-9A-Z] and KND1 is not silently reinterpreted. Names are rendered as text, never markup. Digital kandi copies โ€” the culture's answer is the retirement rule, so a completed gift removes the piece from your arm and keeps a memory line, the same shape as the corpus's withdrawal law.

โš— THE COMPOSER โ€” string it

Beads: tap colors, or type a word โ€” letters become letter-beads. Then name it: who you are (optional), and who it's for (only if it's made for someone โ€” the dedication rides with the copy they receive). Either way it strings onto your right arm, because it is yours until you gift it; the made-FOR law binds the copy they receive.
Letters are white beads, like the real thing โ€” tap a colour to thread one in, or turn on thread colour and every word comes out alternating.

๐Ÿซฑ๐Ÿซฒ THE THREE ARMS โ€” right trades, left keeps, the crossing swaps

The etiquette, enforced as written in the mUseUm: tradeables ride the right arm; keepsakes and gifts received ride the left and never re-trade; never ask for a specific piece; and what you gift leaves your arm โ€” a memory line stays, history kept.
RIGHT ARM โ€” tradeable, and gifts waiting to go
LEFT ARM โ€” keepsakes
THE CROSSING โ€” offered, and only for another piece
Some kandi you would never give away. Offer it to the crossing instead: it stays yours until you paste their piece here. The swap happens in this browser only โ€” there is no escrow and no one in the middle.
on respect, the kandi crosses. this is the arm for the piece you would never hand over โ€” it does not move until something lands. what comes back rides the left arm in this browser, because it was given to you.
Mechanics, stated plainly: a crossing is TWO one-way handoffs the page performs locally, not an escrow โ€” there is no third party and nothing to trust but the floor. Your side completes at the instant you paste theirs: your piece retires to the memory line and theirs is written to S.left with rcv:true, so it can never re-trade. Same KND1 string, same FNV-1a/32 checksum, same retirement rule as the gift โ€” a copy you already handed over cannot be un-handed, which is why the piece leaves your arm rather than being marked "traded".
Hand them your string, paste theirs. The swap happens the moment you paste โ€” yours retires to the memory line, theirs rides your left arm in this browser and never re-trades.
YOURS โ€” hand this over
THEIRS โ€” paste what they are crossing to you

๐Ÿคฒ RECEIVE โ€” through interlocked hands

Paste a kandi string somebody handed you. Look first. Keep is a second tap โ€” received kandi then rides your left arm and never re-trades.
Look first, then keep this is the piece in your hands โ€” keep it only if you want it on the left decode-only preview. Keep writes rcv:true to S.left. Same KND1 is idempotent. Show #k= is not exclusive title.
Limits of this bar
This page never sends a kandi to anyone. You copy text and carry it. A Show link is a preview, not proof only they have it. Another tab of this same browser can change what is saved here.
no inbox, no escrow, no take-backs โ€” the string is a copy you walk across the floor.
No remote atomic exchange. Crossing is two local handoffs. Clipboard write โ‰  received. Show #k= is a copyable preview, not exclusive title. Checksum โ‰  signature. localStorage only. Same-origin writes use a Web Lock, a fresh validated snapshot and one storage write. Browsers without Web Locks show saved arms read-only. Older open versions do not take this lock: reload every kandi tab after an upgrade. Animation does not commit retirement.
