A single place to say "downloads work again" without messaging everyone.
The body is markdown, stored as typed and rendered on the way out, so a post
survives editing without a lossy round trip through HTML. goldmark drops raw
HTML rather than rendering it, which matters because the body reaches the
page through template.HTML with Go's own escaping switched off.
The front page carries the three newest under the queue, newest expanded,
and links to /news only when there is a fourth. News is decoration there: if
the query fails the queue still renders. Drafts exist so a post can be
written before it is sent, and hiding is the same toggle as publishing.
Ages read as "5 minuuttia sitten" for a week and then become a date, since
past that the exact age stops being the interesting part.
last_login_at is unrelated to the feed — it answers "does anyone actually
use this", and stays null until a real login, which is how an unused invite
shows up in the members table.
Ago and HTML take value receivers on purpose: templates reach them through
dict, which boxes the item in an interface, and a pointer method on a
non-addressable value is invisible there. That failure renders as a 500 and
is invisible to go vet, so TestFrontPageRendersNews renders the real page.
Ten members and a handful of songs a week never needed a database server,
and the server was the last thing making this a two-container deployment.
modernc.org/sqlite is pure Go, so CGO_ENABLED=0 survives and the dependency
count is unchanged: pgx out, sqlite in.
The port stayed small because the driver matches $1-style placeholders
against argument ordinals exactly as pgx does, so no query needed rewriting
for parameters. What did change:
- timestamptz becomes timestamp holding UTC 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. The
declared type is what makes the driver return time.Time, and the
fixed-width UTC string is what makes ordering and comparison against
datetime('now') mean what they say.
- interval has no equivalent: sessions.idle_ttl is seconds, and the review
edit window travels as a SQLite date modifier string.
- No stddev_pop, so the divisive and unified boards spell the population
formula out, guarded with max(0.0, ...) because cancellation returns a
tiny negative when every score is identical.
- foreign_keys is off by default, so the cascades only exist because the
pragma is set on every connection.
Drops the postgres service, its healthcheck, the depends_on gate, the
startup retry loop and POSTGRES_PASSWORD. ./storage is now the whole
backup. Tests get a fresh database file per test and run everywhere
instead of skipping without TEST_DATABASE_URL.
Step 1 of the build order in docs/decisions.md. Boots, applies migrations
before serving, and serves a health check and an empty admin page.
- 001_init.sql is the full schema from docs/spec.md, including the check
constraints and indexes the old app lacked
- The startup sweep fails submissions left mid-conversion by a restart; an
in-process goroutine dies with the process and those rows would otherwise
say converting forever
- Admin is Basic Auth from env on its own listener, fatal at startup when
ADMIN_PASSWORD is unset
