Four enhancements to make the editor fit real school usage:
- Per-document tone (academic/professional/casual/humorous/creative/
persuasive/general): new documents.tone column (migration 0002), threaded
through the docs API, a bilingual ToneSelect dropdown on the title row, and
injected into the grammar-checkpoint LLM prompt so advice fits the register.
The voice pass stays tone-agnostic.
- Right-click word lookup: a new offline `lexicon` package serves definitions
(Wordset, modern ESL-friendly glosses) and synonyms (WordNet synsets first,
then frequency+stopword-ranked Moby for breadth) from gzipped embedded data,
behind /api/word/{word} with light morphology. The WordCard popover shows the
definition and tappable synonym pills that swap the word in place.
- Expanded writing stats: clicking the word count opens a StatsPanel with page
count, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, average word length, word variety,
and Flesch-Kincaid reading level — all computed client-side.

🌸 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.
