Kristian WindandClaude Opus 5 19aa02e80c feat(projects): section headings you can count at a glance, and an Inbox that speaks the language
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 in build/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back to index.html so 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
