prosolis db737fa612 Editor: Find & Replace, read-aloud, backup, typography, phonetic, org niceties
Writer power-ups (Phase 11), plus the selection-bubble vs copy/paste fix.

- Find & Replace (Ctrl/Cmd+F): SearchHighlight decoration extension +
  FindReplace bar (match-case, replace-all back-to-front, scroll without
  popping the selection bubble).
- Read-aloud (Web Speech, offline) on the word card and selection bubble.
- Keyboard/touch access to the ESL helpers: Ctrl/Cmd+D look up word at caret,
  Ctrl/Cmd+J rewrite selection, touch long-press lookup. Refactored the
  right-click handler into a shared openWordLookup(pos).
- Whole-corpus backup: GET /api/docs/export-all zips every doc (md/docx),
  de-dupes filenames, dated name; sidebar download links. TestExportAll.
- Smart typography input rules (curly quotes/em-dash/ellipsis), ASCII-only so
  CJK is untouched.
- Duplicate doc, sidebar sort (Recent/Title/Longest), toolbar outline popover.
- English phonetic (chosen over pinyin for an English learner): ECDICT-built
  phonetic.json.gz (46,579 words) + Result.Phonetic + WordCard IPA line;
  scripts/build_phonetic.py (full build + --seed fallback).
- Selection bubble no longer blocks copy/paste: deferred to pointer-up and made
  click-through except on its buttons.

🌸 Petal

A self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor with warm bubbly design, auto-save, and local-LLM grammar/ESL suggestions. See petal-spec.md for the full design spec and BUILD_PLAN.md for build progress.

Stack

Go + chi backend · SQLite (modernc, pure Go) · React + Vite + Tiptap + Tailwind v4 frontend · local vLLM/Ollama for AI suggestions. Single-binary deployment (frontend embedded via go:embed).

Local development

Two processes during development:

# 1. Backend (serves /api on :8080)
go run ./cmd/server

# 2. Frontend dev server (HMR on :5173, proxies /api → :8080)
cd web && npm install && npm run dev

Open http://localhost:5173 while developing.

Production build (single binary)

cd web && npm run build      # emits web/dist (embedded by the Go binary)
cd .. && go build -o petal ./cmd/server
./petal                      # serves UI + API on :8080

Configuration is via environment variables — copy .env.example to .env.

Status

Early build, multi-session. Auth (Authentik), Copyleaks plagiarism, and Docker/Traefik deployment are deferred — see BUILD_PLAN.md.
