Only Ctrl-S and :w ever wrote. A closed laptop, a crashed tab or an
expired session took the draft with it, and clicking another entry in the
list silently discarded unsaved work without so much as a prompt.
Every change now goes to localStorage immediately and to the server two
and a half seconds after typing stops. Opening an entry that has a stash
newer than the server's copy restores it and says so, the way vim reports
a swap file; :e! and :q! discard it. Switching entries flushes the
outgoing draft first.
The save response carries the entry's excerpt, so a save patches its list
row in place instead of re-reading the whole list — which autosave would
otherwise have done every few seconds.
Mocha with the palette's red as the accent is now the default; the old
green scheme moves to `:set theme=green` alongside amber and ice.
Two readability fixes in the editor:
- The vim block cursor paints the character inside itself in that
character's own syntax colour, so an accent-coloured glyph — a
heading's `#`, a link — vanished against the accent-coloured block.
The glyph is now forced to the background colour.
- CodeMirror injects its own `.cm-activeLine` rule after this stylesheet,
so the equally specific override never applied and the current line
rendered as a bright blue box. Qualified the selector and toned the
band down to a faint tint of the foreground.
Insert mode also gets a 2px bar instead of the browser hairline caret.
Single-user diary served as one Rust binary with the Svelte frontend
embedded.
- axum 0.8 + SQLite (sqlx), migrations run at startup
- stateless HMAC session cookie; credentials from .env, compared in
constant time
- FTS5 full-text search, user input rewritten into quoted prefix terms
- media uploads linked to entries by scanning bodies for /api/media/<id>,
which scopes share-token media access and entry deletion
- unguessable share links (192-bit token) serving a public read-only page
- vim keybindings via CodeMirror plus a modal browse layer and : command
line; disabled on touch devices
