The board has drawn a column per section since it was written and there was no way to make one. Sections could only be created by the Todoist importer or a template — so an ordinary project could never have a heading in it at all. Add, rename and delete, in the list view where the headings already are. The controls appear on hover rather than sitting beside the heading permanently: a heading with two buttons always next to it stops reading as a heading. Deleting says how many tasks are in the section and that they will survive it, because the API keeps them and drops their section — which is the right behaviour and not what "delete section" sounds like. The list is re-read afterwards, since those tasks move to the unsectioned group and nothing else would tell the view they had. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
web
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
