Structure
- Kirjaa and Historia are one page. They were two views of the same thing — every history row already linked into the logger, and the logger had a day switcher. Two tabs instead of three. Also closed a gap: on an already-logged day there was no way to swap to a different dish, only to re-pick its sides.
- Ruoat → Ruuat, label and route.
- The catalog has a structure. It had no top-level headings at all — the mains simply began with "Liha". Both halves now carry a heading and a count, categories are visibly subordinate, and the add/edit forms collapse instead of filling the screen before any content.
Finding things
- Dishes grouped by category on both screens, Sekalaiset for multi-category ones. Derived from the stored set, not a fifth category, so one Tortillat still covers all four for the §8.1 suggester later.
- Live search on both lists, 250 ms after typing stops. Both remain plain GET forms, so they still filter with JavaScript off.
- History is paged 30 days at a time — it previously rendered every day back to the first entry, forever.
Correctness
- Future meals refused. The picker offered them and ?pvm= accepted them.
- today() wasn't midnight, so it never equalled a date parsed from ?pvm= — after saving, the card read "la 5.9. kirjattu" instead of "Tänään kirjattu".
- Deletes ask first, for dishes and logged meals. The meal is the more destructive: a dish is only soft-deleted.
- DB open failures name the path and uid, instead of unable to open database file (14).
Visual
- Category icons replace colour dots — steak, drumstick, fish, leaf, quartered circle.
- Row actions are a pencil and a bin; the header has a surface.
Housekeeping
- Datastar SDK dropped — one JSON decode was pulling in four modules including an HTTP compression stack. Five lines replace it.
- Release policy documented: main protected, releases arrive as PRs.

The favicon is a bowl of soup: this household's catalog is half keitto, so it
is at least honest. favicon.svg follows the system theme in the tab strip.
Home-screen icons cannot do the same. They must be opaque and must not change
with the theme, so assets/icon.svg is a separate fixed-colour source, with the
artwork inside the central 80% for Android to mask to any launcher shape. The
same 512 is declared maskable in the manifest.
`make icons` rasterises with rsvg-convert and compresses with
`oxipng -o max --zopfli`, which beat `optipng -o7` at every size — 5860 bytes
against 6109 for the three files. Plain `oxipng -o max` was not an upgrade: it
won the two small icons and lost the 512, ending up larger overall. All output
verified pixel-identical to the rasterizer. The PNGs are committed so the
build needs no rasterizer.
Two things that only fail on a real device, so both are covered by smoke
checks: Go has no mime entry for .webmanifest and served it as octet-stream,
which browsers ignore; and a manifest fetch carries no credentials by default,
so behind Basic auth it needs crossorigin="use-credentials" or it 401s.
Stage 1's point is collecting eating history, so the logging path is the one
that has to be frictionless: pick a dish, tick sides, done.
Kirjaa:
- dishes ordered and sized by how often they have been eaten, so the likely
answer is the biggest target on the screen
- picking a dish opens the sides step; a dish with has_sides false says so
instead of offering an empty list
- saving redirects, so a refresh cannot double-post
- a day already logged shows the entry with edit and delete. Editing reopens
the sides step with the existing sides ticked, which makes editing and
creating the same screen
- day switcher and a server-side search over the catalog
Historia walks back day by day to the oldest entry, so a day nobody wrote
down appears as an explicit gap rather than quietly missing.
No JavaScript is involved: every interaction is a link or a form, and the
checked-chip styling is :has(input:checked). Datastar stays loaded but unused
until an interaction genuinely needs to avoid a page load.
Also fix a Makefile ordering bug: lint did not depend on generate, so `go vet`
could run against templ output that was being rewritten. check now runs its
phases as sub-makes so `make -j` cannot interleave them.
Records two features that are specified but not built: dish CRUD in the UI
(§7.3, only import exists today) and a per-device light/dark switch (§7.4).
The switch must show the state that is active, not the one clicking produces.
SQLite writes three files — the database plus its -wal and -shm companions.
Putting them in one directory means a deployment mounts a single path and a
backup copies a single directory.
- FOODSTER_DB defaults to ./data/foodster.db, and openDB creates the parent
directory on startup rather than failing on a fresh checkout
- compose bind-mounts ./data instead of using a named volume, so the file can
be listed, copied and opened with any sqlite client without going through
the container engine
- the image runs as UID 65534, which cannot write to a host directory owned
by someone else, so compose now sets user: from FOODSTER_UID/FOODSTER_GID
- `make up` creates ./data first: left to the engine it appears root-owned
and the app silently cannot write to it
Bring up the stage 1 skeleton described in the PRD, enough that the app
builds, serves, and can be populated with dishes.
- net/http server with shared-password Basic auth, /healthz outside it,
graceful shutdown, and TZ-aware calendar days
- SQLite via modernc (pure Go, static binary), opened with WAL and a single
connection
- migration runner: numbered SQL files embedded and applied once each inside
a transaction, recorded in schema_migrations
- bundle import (PRD §7.3) as a live feature on the Ruoat tab: paste JSON or
upload a file, get a per-row Finnish report. The same importer is reachable
as `foodster -import` for repopulating a scratch database
- templ views and hand-written CSS with light-dark() theming; the Datastar
v1.0.3 client is vendored, since the Go SDK ships no browser asset and a
CDN would break an offline LAN
Names are normalized to sentence case rather than title case: Finnish
capitalizes only the first word of a phrase, so "Keitetyt perunat" is right
and "Keitetyt Perunat" is not. PRD §6 and §7.3 are amended to match.
Testing is behind make targets rather than ad-hoc commands: `make check` runs
lint, unit tests and scripts/smoke.sh, which exercises auth, static assets
and every import path against a scratch database on a spare port.
Foodster is a self-hosted dinner log and meal suggester for one household.
Stage 1 (eating history) is in development; stage 2 (the suggester) follows
once there is enough history to weight against.
Replace the PRD's original stack (Nuxt, Postgres, Drizzle, Pico CSS) with
Go 1.27, net/http, templ, Datastar and SQLite — one static binary, no
Node.js in the build. Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 11 are rewritten to match.
Record the decisions made while reviewing mockups:
- the UI is written in Finnish; PRD, code and comments stay English
- access is one shared password over HTTP Basic rather than open on the LAN
- images are CalVer vYYYYMMDD-N, built with Podman, run under Docker Compose
- registry coordinates live in .env, so no infrastructure detail is
committed and the MIT publication option stays open
mockups/ holds standalone HTML design studies. log-fi.html is the current
one; the others are superseded exploration kept for reference.
