OPEN #6 assumed the pt-PT gloss was gated on finding a dataset of ECDICT's quality. It isn't — dreamdict already covers en, fr, pt-PT and zh, and its API maps almost 1:1 onto lexicon.Result. Replaces the data question with an integration one (OPEN #6a): HTTP service, build-time extraction into Petal's embedded gz format, or importing the dictionary package and opening dict.db read-only. Argues for the third — same CGO-free sqlite driver Petal already depends on, no runtime service, and it deletes ~11.6 MB of embedded data plus the ECDICT build scripts. Adds the migration caution that matters most: the zh path is in daily use, so wire pt-PT/fr first (nothing to regress) and leave zh on ECDICT until CC-CEDICT gloss quality has been compared on her real lookups.
🌸 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.
