thandClaude Opus 4.6 670f125627 shopping list: phone-synced card via relay
Pick one #einkauf-tagged card as "active"; its body is pushed to the
relay on every sync.tick and rendered on a phone-friendly session-
auth'd page at /shopping. Phone shows only the open "- [ ]" items as
tappable rows — tapping flips the line to "- [x]" on the relay in
place. The next client tick pulls those toggles back and PATCHes the
local card, so hyprcrd stays the source of truth for item text.

  - Relay: shopping_state table (one row per tenant), POST/GET
    /api/shopping for content push/pull, POST /api/shopping/check
    for phone toggles, GET /shopping for the phone UI.
  - Client: hamburger menu in the header with an "Einkaufsliste"
    entry that opens a picker listing all #einkauf cards with a
    radio for the active one. Timestamp cursors in localStorage
    keep push/pull idempotent.
  - Phone can only toggle, not edit text — edit stays in hyprcrd,
    which makes the merge trivial (last-writer wins by timestamp).

Multi-card support is there (any card with #einkauf is a candidate)
but only one is active for the phone at a time, per the spec.

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

  1. On launch, the app starts PHP's built-in server on a random port (127.0.0.1)
  2. router.php replaces Apache's .htaccess rewrite rules
  3. A BrowserWindow loads http://127.0.0.1:<port>/
  4. 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/
