# Project Discussion

## Requirements

1. **Two-column layout**: Note list on the left, editor/preview on the right
2. **SQLite storage**: Using libsql client
3. **Markdown support**: Render Markdown content
4. **Glow-like effect**: Terminal Markdown rendering

## Technical Issues and Solutions

### OpenTUI Markdown Component Issue

**Problem**: OpenTUI's `<markdown>` component could not render styles correctly (tried multiple methods, all failed)

**Solution**: Implement a custom Markdown parser using OpenTUI's `<text>` components for manual rendering

### Textarea Wrap Issue

**Problem**: Default wrapMode in textarea React types is missing

**Solution**: Make textarea usable by setting `focused` attribute, access EditBufferRenderable's wrapMode option through underlying access

### Preview Mode Line Break Issue

**Problem**: Line breaks from edit mode not showing in preview

**Solution**: Handle empty lines in `renderMarkdown` function, add `<text>{" "}</text>`

### Code Block Rendering

**Problem**: Indentation rendering issues inside ``` code blocks

**Solution**: Implement code block detection and rendering logic, render each code line separately

### Multi-select Feature

**Problem**: OpenTUI's `onMouseDown` event doesn't include ctrlKey/shiftKey modifier info, and `useKeyboard` couldn't capture modifier keys

**Solution**:
- Tried using `useKeyboard` to listen for modifier keys but failed (terminal may not send separate modifier key events)
- Switched to double-click "selection mode" approach: double-click any note to toggle selection mode, click to multi-select in selection mode

### Cross-platform Database Path

**Problem**: Hardcoded database path not compatible across platforms

**Solution**: Implement `getDbPath()` function to use `~/.config/mio/cache.db` for all platforms

## Unresolved Issues

1. **Multi-select feature**: Double-click selection mode experience is not ideal, keyboard modifier key approach couldn't be implemented
2. **TypeScript type errors**: Some type errors in NoteEditor (bold attribute doesn't exist, etc.)

## Gitea Runner and Release Workflow

### Runner Configuration

- **Image**: `hub.gaomia.site/titor/bun:latest` (based on Debian bookworm with Bun installed)
- **Default label**: `ubuntu-latest`
- **Issue**: Custom image doesn't have git pre-installed

**Solution**: Install git in workflow:

```yaml
- name: Install git
  run: apt-get update && apt-get install -y git
```

### Release Workflow (Auto-changelog)

Trigger on push tag (`v*`):

1. Clone repository using token
2. Install dependencies: `bun install`
3. Build: `bun run build`
4. Create release and upload source archive:

```bash
TAG_NAME="${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/}"
PREV_TAG=$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 HEAD^ 2>/dev/null || echo "")
CHANGES=$(git log --pretty=format:"- %s (%h)" "$PREV_TAG..HEAD" 2>/dev/null || echo "")

# Create release via Gitea API
curl -X POST "https://hub.gaomia.site/api/v1/repos/titor/mio/releases" \
  -H "Authorization: token ${GITEA_TOKEN}" \
  -d "{\"tag_name\":\"${TAG_NAME}\",\"name\":\"${TAG_NAME}\",\"body\":\"${CHANGES}\"}"
```

### Cross-platform Build Limitation

- Bun's `bun build --compile` runs on Linux runner → can only produce Linux executable
- Cannot compile Windows/macOS binaries on Linux environment
- Workaround: Publish source code archive instead of binaries

### Bun Compilation Bug with Native Modules

**Problem**: Using `@libsql/client` (native SQLite binding) causes runtime error:
```
error: Cannot find module '@libsql/win32-x64-msvc' from 'B:\~BUN\root\mio.exe'
```

This is a known bug in Bun 1.3.4+ with native modules.

**Solution**: Replace `@libsql/client` with `sql.js` (pure JavaScript SQLite implementation):

1. Replace dependency in package.json
2. Rewrite db.ts to use sql.js API (async initialization, different query syntax)
3. Update all function calls in index.tsx and NoteEditor.tsx

Result: `bun build --compile` works correctly on all platforms.

## Build Instructions

```bash
npm run dev    # Development mode
npm run build  # Build to mio.exe
```

Database location: `~/.config/mio/cache.db`
