The README grew a section per feature and is a good reference, but nothing said where to begin. docs/wiki now has a getting-started page, a guide that walks through one day with the workspace and explains each part where it comes up, and a page per part of the app, each with screenshots of what it describes. Three pages are read out of the code rather than written, so they cannot drift from it: the keys and commands from Help.svelte and commands.ts, the same lists `:help` draws; the settings from .env.example, which gains a heading for the vault, trash and history settings so they no longer sit under mail; and the API from the README's table. `make wiki` writes them, and `--check` fails when one is stale or a link between pages leads nowhere. `--publish` lays the pages out for a GitHub wiki: links without `.md`, images beside them, `[[` escaped so the wiki does not take a command's help text for a link to a page. The screenshots are taken by `make screenshots`: the debug binary on a temporary data directory, with a password made up for the run, filled with an example workspace over the API, and a headless Chromium driven over the DevTools protocol through the views the docs show. Nothing outside the temporary directory is touched but docs/images, and the pictures are cut to 256 colours, a third of their size, which a dark UI does not show. The README opens with the banner, a CI badge, the guide, the features grouped by what they are for, and six of the screenshots.

~/workspace
A private, terminal-themed workspace that runs in the browser: a diary, the
notes for work and for uni, a board per space, and the files that go with them.
One user, one SQLite file, one binary. Everything is a key or a : command on
the desktop, and a button on the phone.
Where to start
- Getting started: run it, log in, find your way around in the first ten minutes.
- The guide: a day with the workspace, from the morning's agenda to the evening's diary entry, with every part explained on the way.
- Keys and commands: the full list, the same one
?shows.
The parts
| page | what it covers |
|---|---|
| Spaces and documents | spaces, folders, the list, tiles, moving things |
| Writing | the editor, vim, markdown, math, links between documents, templates |
| Boards and the agenda | cards, due dates, cards that come back, the agenda |
| The diary | entries, today, the calendar, on this day |
| Files and search | uploads, what opens in place, full-text search |
| Not losing things | autosave, history, the trash, export and import |
| The vault | files sealed under a password of their own |
| Capture | writing things down from a phone or a script |
| Sharing | read-only links to one document |
| The SFTP mount | the workspace as a filesystem |
| Backup and mail | Proton Drive mirror, reminders and digests |
| Deploying | running it on a server, behind a proxy, in Docker |
| Configuration | every setting |
| API | every route |
| Development | the code, the checks, the screenshots and this wiki |
Screens
 |
 |
| Two documents side by side, each in a tile of its own. | A board: the first list is the inbox, the last is done. |
 |
 |
| The agenda: what is late, due, or in hand, on every board. | The diary by month. |
 |
 |
| A search finds the text inside files too. | Certificates and keys are read on the server. |
