The special workspace was a second layout beside the tiles, with its own focus, its own Tab, Esc and q, and a returnTo flag to find the way back. The views are now tile kinds instead: opened beside what is on screen, walked with Alt-h/j/k/l and gt/gT, closed with q. - Tile gets a kind: node, board, agenda, calendar or card. view, specialFocus, returnTo and the special context are gone. - A trail of focused tiles: closing one goes back to the one before, so q on a card's notes or a calendar day returns to the view. - A view is never replaced by what is opened from it; that opens beside. - S tiles the board, agenda and calendar ahead of the documents, or puts every view away. :plan, with :special kept as an alias. - The card sheet is a card tile beside the board, following its cursor; leaving it while writing the description saves what is written. - Spaces remember their views; with a view focused, a space switch takes the views along instead of leaving copies behind. - Card commands check what has the focus rather than the special view.

# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Run it
|
|
|
|
You need Rust (1.96 or newer) and [bun](https://bun.sh) to build it. The result
|
|
is one binary with the whole frontend inside, so the machine it runs on needs
|
|
neither.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/narrrl/narl-workspace
|
|
cd narl-workspace
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open `.env` and set three things:
|
|
|
|
- `WORKSPACE_USER`: the name you log in with.
|
|
- `WORKSPACE_PASSWORD`: the password. The server will not start while it is
|
|
still `change-me`.
|
|
- `WORKSPACE_SECRET`: 32 random characters that sign the login cookie. Make
|
|
one with `openssl rand -base64 32`.
|
|
|
|
Then build and start it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make build
|
|
./target/release/narl-workspace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and open <http://127.0.0.1:4242>.
|
|
|
|
With Docker instead, `docker compose up -d --build` does the same; see
|
|
[Deploying](Deploying.md). Every other setting has a default that works on
|
|
your own machine. [Configuration](Configuration.md) lists them all.
|
|
|
|
## Log in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The workspace has one account, the one in `.env`. Wrong passwords are answered
|
|
more slowly each time. A browser that has logged in before is slowed only by
|
|
its own mistakes, so someone guessing from elsewhere cannot lock you out.
|
|
|
|
## Find your way around
|
|
|
|
A new workspace has three spaces: `diary`, `work` and `uni`. The bar along
|
|
the top shows them as numbered pills. `1`, `2` and `3` switch between them,
|
|
and `Tab` steps to the next one.
|
|
|
|
The screen has four parts:
|
|
|
|
- **the bar**, at the top: the spaces, where you are in the tree, how many
|
|
cards are late or due today, and the clock;
|
|
- **the list**, on the left: what is in the folder you are in;
|
|
- **the tiles**, on the right: the documents and files you have open;
|
|
- **the status line**, at the bottom: the mode you are in, and what the last
|
|
key or command did.
|
|
|
|
The rail of buttons on the right does the same as the keys, for a mouse.
|
|
|
|
## The first ten minutes
|
|
|
|
1. Press `2` to go to `work`.
|
|
2. Press `o`. A new document opens in the editor, in insert mode. Write
|
|
something.
|
|
3. Press `Esc` to leave insert mode, then type `:name Plans for the week` and
|
|
`Enter` to give it a name. There is no need to save: the document is saved
|
|
a couple of seconds after you stop typing. `:w` saves at once anyway.
|
|
4. Type `:q` to close it. It is in the list now, under today's date.
|
|
5. Press `O` (capital). The command line opens with `:mkdir ` already typed;
|
|
add a name and press `Enter`. `l` or `Enter` on the folder goes into it, and
|
|
`h` comes back up.
|
|
6. Press `c`, type `try the board`, and press `Enter`. That is a card in the
|
|
inbox of this space's board. Press `b` to see the board in a tile, and
|
|
`Esc` to close it. `S` puts it up with the agenda and the calendar, and puts
|
|
them away again; `Alt-h`/`j`/`k`/`l` walk between the tiles.
|
|
7. Press `T`. That is today's diary entry, started for you.
|
|
8. Press `?` for the list of every key and command. `h` / `l` walk its columns, `/` narrows it down, and `Esc` closes it.
|
|
|
|
On a phone the same things are buttons: the dock at the bottom has a new
|
|
document, a new folder, the board, today's entry, an upload and a search, and
|
|
the `⋯` on a row (or a long press on it) has what can be done to that row.

[The guide](Guide.md) goes through a whole day with the workspace and
|

explains each part as it comes up.
