kristianwindandClaude Opus 5 70d7398d5a docs: skriv det ned, der er blevet bygget
API-dokumentationen har fulgt med hele vejen — der er en prøve, der fejler,
hvis en rute ikke står i openapi.yaml, og den fangede mig fire gange i går.
Brugervejledningen har ikke fulgt med, og det er den, folk læser.

Nyt: en side om beskeder — hvad der udløser en, hvorfor gentagne
rettelser bliver slået sammen, push pr. apparat og mærket på ikonet. En
om at åbne links i en anden browser, som mest af alt handler om, hvad en
webside ikke kan: hverken se hvilke browsere der findes eller vælge
mellem dem. Og en om tællingen af installationer, som ikke stod nogen
steder overhovedet — en melding, der er slået til som udgangspunkt, har
en pligt til at være skrevet ned, også når ingen har spurgt.

Rettet: AI-siden beskrev to funktioner, hvor der nu er syv, og
listen over hvad der sendes hvorhen var derfor forkert som en påstand om
noget privat. Noter-siden manglede deling med en e-mailadresse og hvad
`@Sofie` gør. Mail-siden manglede den anden vej ind i indbakken.
Konfigurationen sagde stadig, at versionstjekket kun kunne se efter.

Og tagbeskeden når nu frem. Den ER annonceringen — skrevet på produktets
eget sprog til dem, der bruger det — og udgivelsen på GitHub blev fyldt
med en autogenereret liste over commit-overskrifter i stedet, som er
skrevet til dem, der læser koden. Nu står teksten øverst og listen under
den. Linjen med linket til udgivelsen selv tages af: en side, der linker
til sig selv, hjælper ingen.

Dokumentationen bygges nu også på en PR. `mkdocs build --strict` fejler
på et link til en side, der ikke findes, og at bygge først efter merge er
at få det at vide på main.

# verdande
Self-hosted tasks and projects, shared with the people you share the work with.
One binary with SQLite inside it — no database to provision, no second process.
**Verdande** is one of the three Norns: the one who spins *that which is becoming*.
Not what has been, and not what is fated to be — the thing you are in the middle
of. Which is what a to-do list is.
![The Today view](screenshots/today.png)
## What it is for
A fast, self-hosted task manager — projects, quick add, filters, notes and shared
lists — on your own hardware, with your own data. And with the integrations a
hosted product will not build for you: a real CalDAV server, an address you can
forward mail to, and an MCP endpoint so Claude can work your task list directly.
## What it does
- **[Quick add](quick-add.md) that reads what you type.** `file the VAT return
tomorrow at 10am p1 #Accounts @tax` becomes a task due tomorrow at 10:00,
priority 1, in Accounts, labelled tax. Danish and English, mixed freely in one
line.
- **Projects, sections, sub-tasks, labels, [saved filters](filters.md).** List,
board and calendar views, and foldable groups over the projects in the sidebar.
The calendar draws each task to its length — drag the foot to resize, the body
to move it.
- **Notes, beside the work.** Rich text to write in, Markdown on disk. Share a
single note with a person — by name, by email address, or by writing `@Sofie` in
the text — or file it in a project; `#project` and `[[another note]]` are links,
and a task shows what has been written about it.
- **Delegate, and snooze.** Hand a task to somebody and it is marked with an
arrow to them, gathered on a *Waiting on others* page. Snooze one to park it,
greyed, at the foot of the list until a moment you pick — without touching when
it is due.
- **Drag where it means something** — reorder a list or a board, file a project
under a group, drop a task on another project, or drop it on another day.
- **Sharing** with owner, editor and viewer roles. Anyone outside your instance
joins through an invite link.
- **Live sync** — a change made by somebody else appears without a refresh.
- **[Told when it matters](notifications.md).** A bell for what other people did to
what you share, pushed to your devices and counted on the app's icon in the Dock.
- **[AI that suggests and never writes](ai.md).** Optional, your own key. It tidies
the inbox, pulls the tasks out of a meeting note, writes a morning plan, turns
*"SV: SV: Vedr. levering uge 12"* into what the mail actually asks for, and
answers questions about your own notes with links to what the answer rests on —
every one of them as a line you accept, edit or refuse.
- **Repeating tasks** as RRULE, comments and attachments, and reminders that go
out as Web Push to an iPhone or a Mac.
- **[Anything can put a task in your inbox](mail.md)** — a mail to your own
address, or a POST from a shortcut on your phone, a script, or any service that
can call a URL.
- **[Your mail as an inbox](mailboxes.md).** Star a mail in Gmail, or flag one
over IMAP in iCloud or Fastmail, and it becomes a task — and the star or flag
comes off once it has, so a starred inbox empties as the tasks are made instead
of only filling up.
- **[Calendar](caldav.md) and [Claude](mcp.md)** connected over open standards
rather than private formats.
- **Six themes**, three dark and three light — including *Charcoal*, a warm
near-black after Apple Notes — and a size and typeface chosen apart from them.
- **Holds through a short network drop.** A save rides out a few seconds of no
signal and goes through when it comes back; a reload opens from what it last saw
rather than the browser's offline page. It installs as a PWA.
## What it looks like
![Upcoming as a month](screenshots/upcoming.png)
*Upcoming, as a month. A week and a plain list are the other two, and a task can be
dragged from one day onto another.*
![A project as a list](screenshots/sections.png)
*The same project as a list, where sections read as bands. As a board they are
columns.*
![Waiting on others](screenshots/delegated.png)
*What you have handed to somebody else, grouped by whoever has it — and each row
marked with an arrow to them, so a delegated task reads as delegated wherever you
meet it.*
![Notes in the Charcoal theme](screenshots/notes-charcoal.png)
*Charcoal, the newest of six themes — a warm near-black after Apple Notes, with
amber where the accent green usually is.*
![The six themes as swatches](screenshots/themes.png)
*Six themes — three dark, three light — chosen on the settings page, with the
typeface and how tightly it sits set apart from them.*
![Settings, integrations](screenshots/settings.png)
*Where [Gmail](mailboxes.md), the [calendar feed](caldav.md) and the
[mail-to-task address](mail.md) are connected.*
![Settings, people](screenshots/admin.png)
*Inviting somebody to the instance. There is no open registration — everybody
arrives through a link, and picks their own password. See
[signing in](signing-in.md).*
## Getting it running
verdande is built to be deployed as a **Rune** in
[Yggdrasil Panel](rune.md) — that is its home, and the manifest ships with it. It
runs anywhere Docker does as well.
```bash
docker run -d --name verdande \
-p 8080:8080 \
-v verdande-data:/data \
-e VERDANDE_BASE_URL=https://todo.example.dk \
ghcr.io/kristianwind/verdande:latest
```
Open the address, create the first account — that account is the administrator.
Running Yggdrasil Panel? [Install it as a Rune](rune.md) instead.
## What it will not do
No karma or points. No team workspaces. No native apps. No mail integration beyond
Gmail and the forwarding address. No languages beyond Danish and English. And no
sync protocol of its own — [CalDAV](caldav.md) and the [API](api.md) *are* the
sync.
