Help Center & Documentation
Welcome to the Haven Help Center. This guide covers everything you need to know to have the best experience on the platform.
🚀 Getting Started with Connect
Connect & Vibe is Haven's flagship 1-on-1 real-time matching experience.
- Drop In: Click the "Drop In" button in the Connect tab.
- Matching: Our sub-10ms logic will pair you with another user.
- The Call: Once paired, a direct WebRTC connection is established.
- Privacy: None of your call data passes through our servers. It's direct P2P.
- Next Match: Use the "Next" button to instantly swap partners.
🛡️ Safety & Moderation
We take your safety seriously. Haven is a space for positive vibes.
- AI NSFW Scanning: Every 1-on-1 session is protected by client-side AI that scans for inappropriate content. If detected, the user is warned or automatically reported.
- Manual Reporting: See something wrong? Click the Report icon. Our "Pulse" server will instantly isolate the user and log the session for review.
- Text Filtering: All chat messages pass through PurgoMalum to filter out profanity and toxicity.
🏛️ Sangha (Servers & Rooms)
Sanghas are persistent communities that allow you to grow together.
- Voice Rooms: Powered by LiveKit, these rooms support high-quality group audio and video.
- Channel Hierarchy: Admins can create categories and locked channels for specific vibes (e.g., Lofi, Deep Work, Chill).
- Roles & Permissions: Server owners can assign Admin, Mod, and Member roles with granular access controls.
🏆 memberly Progression (XP & Levels)
Your presence in Haven is rewarded.
- Gaining XP: You earn XP for every minute spent in a Sangha voice channel or active Connect session.
- Leaderboard: Check the global Hall of Fame to see where you stand among the most consistent members.
- Badges: Reach higher levels to unlock exclusive badges and prestige within the community.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Camera/Microphone Not Working?
- Ensure you have granted Haven permission in your browser.
- Check the "Device Settings" in your profile to select the correct hardware.
- Refresh the page—our hardware cleanup logic ensures stale streams are released.
Connection Issues?
- If the "Connect" lobby says "Connecting...", the microservice might be waking up (Render free tier). This usually takes 5-10 seconds.
- Ensure you aren't behind a strict corporate firewall that blocks WebRTC ports.
🕉️ Philosophical Roots
