Inline Chinese gloss (offline) and a "say it more naturally" / tone-rewrite,
the two ESL features for the Mandarin-speaking writer.
Gloss: embedded English→Chinese dictionary (gloss.json.gz, 57k common words
built from ECDICT via scripts/build_gloss.py). lexicon gains Gloss()/Result.Gloss
and a lightweight GET /api/gloss/{word}; the right-click WordCard leads with the
中文; GlossTip shows it on a 350ms hover (reuses wordAt, so CJK is never glossed).
Offline + instant, works with the LLM down.
Rewrite: selecting text pops a SelectionBubble (✨更自然 + the tone vocabulary);
picking a style calls POST /api/docs/:id/rewrite (llm.RunRewrite, stateless,
owner-scoped) and shows a RewritePreview (original→rewrite, accept/cancel/retry).
Accept applies it in-editor.
Tests added in lexicon and suggestions. go build/vet/test, tsc, vite all clean;
live smoke vs a fake vLLM verified gloss + rewrite + 400/404/502 paths.

🌸 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.
