Two from use. Section headings were small uppercase text over a hairline — a heading you have to look for. A project with four sections is four groups, and the eye should be able to count them without reading a word, so the heading gets a ground of its own and the rows sit against the page. `--surface` rather than a tint of the accent: the colour on that page belongs to the project, and a section is not a second thing to colour. A step in lightness separates them in all five themes without anybody measuring anything. And the Inbox. The server names it at account creation, before anybody has seen a settings page, so it is the one project name nobody chose — and an account made in Danish went on saying "Indbakke" inside an English interface, which reads as a string somebody forgot to translate. It was. `projectName()` translates it while it still carries the name the server gave it; rename it and that is your name for it, in every language, like any other project. The rename field keeps the raw name, or editing a translated label would save the translation. The screenshot set gains the list view, which is where sections read as bands rather than as columns — and the shape most people actually work in.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
