xarmian d39cb9f00a fix(web): the selected tab is marked by an accent, not a background step (BUG-3420) (#1829)
In dark mode the active workspace tab was hard to tell from the others:
its background is the page colour (the tab flows into the page), which
measured 1.07:1 against the strip and its neighbours (1.09:1 in light),
with the same text colour and weight. It now carries a 2px accent line
along its top edge (inset box-shadow): 4.85:1 / 5.20:1 in dark, 5.70:1 /
5.24:1 in light, against the strip and the tab.

A survey of every selected-state control with siblings, across 12 pages
in both themes, found three tab-like segmented toggles failing the same
way (background steps of 1.05-1.16:1): the item pane's Rich / Markdown
toggle, the tag page's view toggle and the Insights window selector. Each
selected segment gets a 1px inset accent ring (>= 4.47:1). Underline tab
bars (item pane, settings, library, admin) already met 3:1 and are
unchanged.

The e2e pins the requirement for the tab bar in both colour schemes: the
active tab's indicator reaches 3:1 against an inactive tab and the strip.
Red on the old build (no indicator) and on a mutant drawing the line in
the border grey.

Pad Web UI

SvelteKit 2 + Svelte 5 frontend for Pad, compiled to static files and embedded into the Go binary.

Development

npm install
npm run dev          # Dev server at localhost:5173 (proxies API to localhost:7777)
npm run build        # Production build to build/
npm run check        # Type checking with svelte-check

When developing, run the Go backend separately with make dev from the project root.

Building for Production

Do not build in isolation. Always use make build from the project root — this builds the web frontend, then compiles the Go binary with the build output embedded via //go:embed.

Stack

  • Svelte 5 with runes ($state, $derived, $effect)
  • SvelteKit 2 with adapter-static (SPA mode)
  • Tiptap block editor with markdown round-trip
  • svelte-dnd-action for drag-and-drop in board/list views
  • SSE for real-time updates
  • TypeScript throughout
