The landing page and README now show the app rather than describing it. The images are captured by tools/shots, which drives a headless Chrome over the DevTools protocol — Chrome's own --screenshot flag cannot set a session cookie, so it would only ever photograph the sign-in page. Kept in the repository so they can be regenerated when the interface changes, rather than being something somebody did once by hand. The quick-add example on the site is in English, with the Danish equivalent shown underneath — the page is read by people who do not speak Danish, and the point being made is that both work. Yggdrasil is stated up front rather than left to the footer: being a Rune is what this was built for, and somebody running the panel should learn that in the first paragraph instead of the last line.

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
