save() PATCHed the card on the server but left state.cards stale. The next openOverlay read the old body from the local cache and the new column was gone. Now save() writes the updated body back into the matching state.cards entry so close + reopen sees the latest data without a full _reloadAll round-trip. Test: "new columns survive close + reopen" — adds a column via API + local state update, closes, reopens, asserts both column names are present in the DOM. Bumps to 1.9.28.

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/ |
