Michael Czechowski e3c86a92c0 Add community infrastructure: issue + PR templates, CoC
Gitea issue templates (.gitea/issue_template/):
- bug.yml: structured form requiring version, environment,
  what-happened, repro steps, expected, optional logs. Routes
  security reports to security@librete.ch instead of public
  issues.
- feature.yml: prompts for the underlying problem before the
  proposed solution, plus alternatives and out-of-scope.

Pull request template (.gitea/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md):
checklist for tests, lint, manual exercise, docs, and changelog.
Asks for explicit reviewer notes so trade-offs surface in the
PR description rather than being lost in chat.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: links to Contributor Covenant 2.1 verbatim
rather than inlining; documents scope, reporting address
(conduct@librete.ch), and points enforcement at the Covenant's
own Enforcement Guidelines.

README links the docs/ tree, CONTRIBUTING, and the CoC so new
contributors find the entry points.

Closes #31.

librenotes

CI

Cloud-native, multi-tenant notes application. A fork of Notesium extended with authentication, per-user data isolation, sync, and PWA support so it can run as a hosted service at librenot.es.

Features

  • Markdown notes with bi-directional links (Zettelkasten / evergreen notes)
  • Embedded web app — no Electron, no Node runtime, single static binary
  • Multi-tenant backend with magic-link authentication (in development)
  • Offline-capable PWA with background sync (planned, Phase 4)

Build

Requires Go 1.20 or later.

go build ./cmd/librenotes

This produces a librenotes binary in the current directory. The web frontend and shell completion are embedded into the binary at compile time, so no extra files are needed at runtime.

A Makefile with build, test, run, and clean targets is provided for convenience:

make build
make test

Run

./librenotes web --notes-dir ~/notes

See ./librenotes help for the full command list.

Development setup

A Nix flake provides a reproducible development environment with Go, build tools, and the project CLIs. Use the plain dev shell for a non-sandboxed Go toolchain:

nix develop .#dev

Alternatively, build a Docker-based dev environment:

docker build -f Dockerfile.dev -t librenotes-dev .
docker run --rm -it -v "$PWD:/workspace" librenotes-dev

The repository layout follows the standard Go project structure:

cmd/librenotes/      Binary entry point
internal/notesium/   Core notes package (forked from Notesium)
internal/notesium/web/   Embedded frontend assets

The Go module path is git.librete.ch/public/librenotes.
