The Dojo

The Dojo Platform Interface

​
Overview

The Dojo is the members’ private hub in the MNKY VERSE—more exclusive than the public storefront. Each authenticated user has access to their own Dojo at /dojo. It is built as part of the same Next.js app as MNKY VERSE and MNKY LABZ, with a dedicated layout and sidebar.
The name “Dojo” reflects our philosophy of continual growth and mastery in self-care practices. Just as a traditional dojo is a place of focused learning and development, our platform provides a space for members to develop their personal wellness journey.

​
Key Characteristics

  • Private: All Dojo routes require authentication. Unauthenticated users are redirected to /auth/login.
  • Member access: Non-admin authenticated users can access /dojo alongside MNKY VERSE.
  • No public paths: Unlike Verse (which has public glossary, formulas, etc.), Dojo is fully private.
  • Context-aware: Sidebar supports context switching between Home, Crafting, Verse, and Chat.

Core Features

​
Gamification (XP & Quests)

The Dojo home page surfaces:
  • XP / Level card: Fetches from xp_state, links to /verse/profile
  • Quests card: Fetches active quests and quest_progress completed count, links to /verse/quests
  • Quick actions: Preferences, MNKY VERSE Shop, Chat, Issues, UGC
  • Lower section: Manga/Issues and UGC entry points linking to /verse/issues and /verse/ugc
APIs: GET /api/xp/state, GET /api/quests, GET /api/quests/my-progress

​
Blending Lab (Crafting)

Members can create custom fragrance blends and save them for later. The Blending Lab is available in the Crafting context with links to:
  • Blending Lab
  • Saved Blends
  • Glossary (public Verse route)
  • MNKY VERSE Shop

​
MNKY CHAT

Dojo includes MNKY CHAT—a chat interface with Flowise integration. Members can:
  • Start new chats
  • View saved chats and folders
  • Configure Flowise chatbot settings

​
Preferences

At /dojo/preferences, members can set their default agent and other user-specific settings.

​
Layout and Design

The Dojo uses the shadcn sidebar-07 pattern (dashboard-07 block):
  • Collapsible sidebar: Icon mode when collapsed
  • Team/context switcher: Switch between Home, Crafting, MNKY VERSE, Chat
  • Nav groups: Dojo (Home, MNKY CHAT, Preferences); MNKY VERSE (Home, Shop, Chat, Profile); Crafting (Blending Lab, Saved Blends)
  • Quick access: Shortcuts to Shop, Chat, Profile, Issues, UGC
  • User footer: Avatar, Profile, Preferences, Sign out
Layout components: DojoDashboardLayout, DojoSidebar, DojoAuthContext

​
Technical Architecture

  • Framework: Next.js 14+ (App Router), same as MNKY VERSE
  • UI: shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS
  • Auth: Supabase Auth (server-side user fetch, redirect if unauthenticated)
  • Data: Supabase (profiles, xp_state, quests, quest_progress, saved_blends, chat_sessions)

​
Integration with MNKY VERSE

The Dojo provides quick links to MNKY VERSE:
  • MNKY VERSE Home, Shop, Chat, Profile
  • Issues (manga), UGC
  • Glossary (from Crafting context)
Legacy /verse/dojo redirects to /dojo.
