Per-card opt-in push to the relay for distraction-free mobile reading.
Not tag-based: a real cards.read_push column so the reading state
stays independent of whatever tags the user organises by.
hyprcrd
- cards.read_push column (0/1, default 0) via Database migration.
- POST /api/cards + PATCH /api/cards/{id} accept read_push; save hook
posts the card (title+body, encrypted) and referenced images
to the relay's /api/read endpoint. First inline image is flagged
as the hero. Toggle-off / DELETE wipes the remote copy.
- Detail-bar toggle button ("Read" → "On relay") with filled book
icon + inverted accent background when active; outline book icon
in the bottom meta row of the board card when read_push=1.
relay
- read_items + read_attachments tables, encrypted under the
inter-tenant key like messages (dual-format envelope).
- Client API: POST /api/read, DELETE /api/read/{uid}, POST
/api/read-attachments. Session API: GET /api/read (list),
GET /api/read/{uid} (single decrypted), GET /api/read-attachments/
{uid}/{filename} (serves decrypted image bytes).
- Payload size caps raised to 15MB (attachments) / 2MB (items).
- New nav tab + view: list with thumbnails, click opens a zen reader
overlay. Reader caps article width at 680px, bumps type to 17px/1.7,
renders a minimal markdown subset (headings, lists, code fences,
blockquotes, links, inline images), rewrites uploads/ references
to the session-authed image endpoint. Escape closes the reader.
- Mobile-first: wider touch targets, tighter padding at ≤640px.

hyprcrd — Electron Desktop App
Wraps the PHP backend in an Electron shell. A static PHP binary is bundled per platform so users don't need PHP installed.
How it works
- On launch, the app starts PHP's built-in server on a random port (
127.0.0.1) router.phpreplaces Apache's.htaccessrewrite rules- A
BrowserWindowloadshttp://127.0.0.1:<port>/ - On quit, the PHP process is killed cleanly
User data (database + uploads) is stored outside the app bundle so it survives updates:
- Dev:
electron/appdata/ - Linux:
~/.config/hyprcrd/data/ - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/hyprcrd/data/ - Windows:
%APPDATA%/hyprcrd/data/
Development
cd electron
npm install
npm start # launches the app using system or bundled PHP
Requires PHP 8.1+ with pdo_sqlite and zip extensions — either on
the system PATH or as a static binary in php-bin/<platform>/.
Bundling PHP
Static PHP binaries are not checked into git. Fetch them before building:
./fetch-php.sh # downloads ~20MB per platform from static-php-cli
Or place them manually (see php-bin/README.md for sources):
php-bin/linux/php
php-bin/darwin/php
php-bin/win32/php.exe
The app prefers the bundled binary. If none is found, it falls back to system PHP. If neither exists, a dialog tells the user what to install.
Building distributables
npm run dist
Uses electron-builder. Output:
| Platform | Format | Location |
|---|---|---|
| macOS | .dmg |
dist/ |
| Windows | NSIS | dist/ |
| Linux | AppImage | dist/ |
