Backend internal/docs: chi sub-router (list/create/get/update/delete) mounted at /api/docs, scoped to the local user. Create uses RETURNING; update is a COALESCE partial-update so rename and full editor save share one PUT. JSON 404/400 errors; handlers_test.go walks the lifecycle. Frontend: api/client.ts, useAutoSave (1.5s debounce + saveNow flush before doc switch), EditorCore (Tiptap StarterKit/Underline/TextAlign/ Placeholder/CharacterCount) + Toolbar, DocList/DocListItem, StatusBar, and an App.tsx that orchestrates load/select/create/delete with optimistic sidebar patching. content + content_text + word_count are emitted together on every edit. .petal-prose styling (Lora body, Nunito headings). Verified: tsc clean, vite build, go build, full CRUD smoke test incl. CJK title round-trip and SPA serve. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016Yr6jELuRc7hyzYLccQKZd
🌸 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.
