Vendored Hunspell en.aff/en.dic into web/public/dictionaries/en/ (served as a static asset + embedded in the binary, kept out of the JS bundle). dictionary-en moved to a devDep — only used to source the files. - useSpellChecker (App-level, loads once/session): fetches the dict, builds an nspell instance, replays a localStorage personal word list; addWord persists and bumps a version so consumers re-decorate. Ambient types in src/types/nspell.d.ts (the package ships none). - SpellCheck Tiptap extension: misspellings as ProseMirror decorations (no stored marks), recomputed on edit / caret move / checker swap. Latin-only tokenizer so CJK is never flagged; skips short tokens + all-caps acronyms; exempts the caret word to avoid mid-typing jitter. Reuses mapOffset (now exported from SuggestionHighlight); wordAt resolves the exact span on click. - MisspellCard: soft rose wavy underline, bilingual popover with up to 5 nspell corrections (click to replace) + add-to-dictionary. Closes on outside-pointer, edit, or doc switch. Chinese spell check intentionally omitted — nspell is dictionary-based and English-only; Chinese typos (homophone 别字) need an LLM, out of v1 scope. tsc/vite/go build+vet clean; live server serves both dict files; nspell behavior smoke-tested.

🌸 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.
Description
Petal is a self-hosted, privacy-first writing editor for an ESL user. It replaces Grammarly with a warm, bubbly web app that combines Tiptap rich text editing, auto-save cloud storage, and periodic AI-powered grammar/ESL suggestions backed by a local vLLM inference endpoint.
