Some of the features in the last iteration:\r

\n
    \n
  • Moving web handlers to \"blueprint\" files rather than server.py. \ud83d\udca1( I find myself wanting to re-invent the header file. I only want to have the machine read 3-5KLOC, and using header files can decrease the LOC by a large factor.)\r

  • CSS/JS fixes. Color-text is now default invisible, the sigil appears in a box. \ud83d\udd25( there is code trying to rotate the sigil when it is clicked on. It doesn't work. I don't know if I want to enable it.)\r
    • \n
  • Login fixes. Users can login now, as long as they are the one user on the Google Auth whitelist.\r

The new \"lexer\" was written by Claude. But it fails many tests, so it is not enabled yet. \ud83d\udca1( this is a feature that will benefit from the extra screen-space of AppleVision.)\r

We also need:\r

\n
    \n
  • Print mode (and dark mode).\r
    • \n
  • various \"two-column\" views\r
    • \n
  • other features, as needed.
