ID cluttered rows and caused wrapping on long entries. Body newlines
leaked into stream rendering extra unindented lines. Cursor glyph
shifted selected rows 1 col right of unselected.
Remove ID from all row renderers (detail pane already shows it),
collapse multiline body to first line, cap tags to 2 in stream,
and reserve cursor column on unselected rows for consistent alignment.
Card-by-card walkthrough of entries untouched for 30+ days.
Prevents write-mostly decay by bringing old entries back to attention.
- S from list triggers stumble, loads entries where modified_at < 30d
- Single-card view with markdown body, glyph, tags, age indicator
- Actions: n skip, d dismiss, ! pin, p promote, m absorb, esc exit
- Progress indicator: stumble [3/12]
- After promote/absorb from stumble, returns to deck (not list)
- "All caught up" screen when deck exhausted
- DB: add ModifiedBefore to ListParams, modified_at sort column
Tag rail removed from tab cycle to reduce focus confusion.
Rail is now ambient-by-default, focusable via h from list (spatial).
- Tab: capture ↔ list (no rail, no detail in cycle)
- h from list: focus tag rail (when visible)
- l from rail: back to list
- Split detail reachable via l/enter, not tab
- Remove nextFocusFromCapture helper
Persistent left panel showing tags with counts. Provides ambient
awareness of tag landscape without requiring a modal.
- New tagRailModel in tagrail.go: tag list with cursor, scroll, counts
- Rail visible at >=100 cols width, 18% width (min 16 chars)
- ctrl+b toggles rail visibility
- focusTagRail added to focus cycle: capture → tags → list → detail
- j/k navigates, enter filters/unfilters by tag
- Active filter tag highlighted bold in rail
- Tags refresh after entity create/delete/absorb
- Rail auto-hides on narrow terminals, # modal still works as fallback
- Width allocation accounts for rail in split and non-split layouts
Replace drawer-based input with permanent capture bar at bottom.
Focus defaults to capture on startup — open nib, start typing.
- Remove stateInput; route via focusCapture/focusList/focusDetail
- Tab cycles: capture → list → detail (split) → capture
- Esc cascades: clear search → clear filter → focus capture
- Capture bar shows blinking cursor when focused, dims when not
- Intent cycling moved from tab to i (tab now cycles focus)
- Parse preview shown inline in status bar while typing
- Content area constant height (no layout thrash from drawer)
Status messages now use a sequence counter so rapid actions don't
cause premature clearing. Detail pane shows scroll position and
supports pgup/pgdown/g/G. Capture drawer border includes inline
label. Cards view groups by intent (pinned/grab/read/fill) with
gutter labels matching the stream view's date grouping pattern.
Detail pane now pipes entity body through charmbracelet/glamour for
styled markdown output — headers, bold, code blocks, lists. Uses
hardcoded dark style to avoid terminal query freeze in alt screen.
Header now renders stream/cards as tabs with keybindings inline —
active tab highlighted, inactive shows the key to switch. Footer
shows a capture tab affordance when in list state. Redundant mode
and capture hints removed from the context hint bar.
Content area now enforces full height so the context help bar stays
pinned to the terminal bottom. Hint keys rendered with bold highlight
color for scannability. Status messages (created, deleted, etc.)
auto-clear after 2 seconds, reverting to the entity count.
Three layout improvements for better space utilization:
- Compact date headers: date labels render as left gutter column instead
of standalone lines, saving one line per date group in stream view
- Input drawer: capture bar expands to 4-line drawer with border, hints,
and live preview of parsed entity/search query
- Split-pane detail: wide terminals (>=100 cols) show list and detail
side-by-side with h/l focus switching, falling back to full-screen
detail on narrow terminals
Split EDITOR env var on whitespace so multi-word values like
"code --wait" work correctly. Add allow-list switch for sort column
and order direction at the query boundary to prevent future callers
from passing unsanitized values into SQL.
Run mode (r key on checklist cards): cursor navigates steps, space
toggles done/undone, r resets all, esc saves changes to DB and exits.
Persists step state — improvement over web which discards on exit.
Fill mode (f key on template cards): tab/shift-tab navigates slots,
type to fill values, enter resolves template and copies to clipboard
with use count increment. Esc cancels without copying.
Both modes are sub-states of detail view, keeping architecture simple.
Search uses existing parse grammar ?prefix — type `?query #tag` in
capture bar to filter entities client-side. Substring match on
body+title+description with AND tag filtering. Esc clears search.
Absorb via m key on fluid entities — opens source picker showing all
other entities, enter merges source into target. Uses existing
store.Absorb() backend.
Stream/cards toggle with 1/2 keys. Cards view with intent filtering
(tab cycles grab/read/fill/all), sort cycling (s key), pinned-first
ordering, and affordance badges. Promote picker (p key) with card type
selection and auto-detection from body content. Detail view renders
card_data per type: checklist steps, template slots, decision fields,
link URLs.
Extracts generateCardData to internal/carddata for reuse across cmd
and tui packages.
Status bar with entity count and context-sensitive key hints. Help
overlay via ? key. Tag filter via # with cursor-navigable tag list.
Todo toggle (x), pin (!), promote (p), demote (D), copy (c), edit (e)
via $EDITOR. Delete confirmation with 3s timeout. Date-grouped list
with completed todo and pinned indicators. Esc clears active tag filter.
Adds CompletedAt/ClearCompleted to EntityUpdate for todo toggling.
Adds `nib tui` command and `make tui` target. Scrollable entity list
with j/k navigation, enter for detail view, `a` to capture new entries
using the existing parse grammar, and `d` to delete.
