Projects have carried sort_order since the first migration and nothing ever set it, so the sidebar was ordered by creation date for good. POST /projects/reorder takes the whole list rather than one move. A person has a handful of projects, so sending the order you want is simpler to reason about than midpoints between neighbours — and it cannot run out of precision, which is the failure the task ordering has to respace a section to recover from. It also cannot land half-applied the way a sequence of individual moves can. Projects you do not own are skipped rather than refused. sort_order is a column on the project, not a preference per viewer, so a shared project sits where its owner put it and a member rearranging their own sidebar does not rearrange somebody else's. The sidebar only makes your own projects draggable, so that rule never shows up as a row that springs back. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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
