internal/notesium/web/app/pane.js drove the sidebar/pane resize via mousedown + window-level mousemove/mouseup, which doesn't fire on touch (browsers only emulate mouse for taps, not drags). Replaced with pointer events: - @pointerdown on the handle (covers mouse, touch, pen). - setPointerCapture so we keep receiving pointermove/pointerup events when the pointer drifts off the handle. This eliminates the need for document-level listeners and avoids stuck-drag states when the user releases outside the window. - pointermove + pointerup + pointercancel listeners on the captured target only — when the capture ends they're removed regardless of whether the user is still on top of the handle. - Filter on event.pointerId so a second simultaneous touch (e.g., a multi-finger gesture) cannot hijack the in-progress resize. - event.button !== 0 guard rejects right-click / middle-click. - touch-action: none on the handle so the browser doesn't try to interpret a horizontal drag as a page scroll. CodeMirror's internal mousedown handlers in note.js / preview.js are left alone — those are link-click guards, not drags, and CodeMirror's own pointer support handles touch internally. Closes #20.

librenotes
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.
