- detail banner timeAgo: SQLite timestamps are UTC without tz marker, JS was parsing them as local. Fixed by appending Z when absent — same pattern chat uses. "2h ago" for a 30s-old update is gone. - banner Reload button now re-fires detail.opened so the collab-buckets plugin clears the red dot on the board card and calls mark-card-seen. Dismiss (×) still leaves the dot — that's the acknowledgement that nothing was actually read. - instrument /api/relay/poll with a sync_debug field so the JS can console.debug what happened on the sync-events sub-request (status, count, error body). Helps diagnose "no toast" reports. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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/ |
