@@ -17,13 +19,25 @@ The binary does three things at once:
 - Serves a multipart upload API at `POST /upload`
 - In dev mode (`--serve`), also serves `public/` as static files
 
-In production nginx sits in front: serves `public/` directly, proxies `/upload` to localhost, htpasswd on the upload endpoint.
+Routes: `GET /upload` (HTML upload form), `POST /upload` (multipart), `GET /health`, and with `-manage`: `GET /manage` (list of photos), `GET`/`POST /manage/edit/{slug}` (edit caption and date), `GET`/`POST /manage/delete/{slug}` (confirm, then delete).
+
+In production nginx sits in front: serves `public/` directly, proxies `/upload` and `/manage` to localhost, htpasswd on both. Note `/health` is **not** proxied — nginx only forwards `location /upload` and `location /manage`, so anything outside the box can only reach those two.
+
+### Managing photos
+
+`manage.go` holds the `/manage` handlers, kept apart from the upload code in `server.go`. They are only registered when the binary runs with `-manage` (NixOS `services.photogallery.manage.enable`, which also adds the nginx location); without it the paths 404 and there is no edit or delete code path at all. The pages are rendered on request from the sidecars (not generated into `public/`), and nothing on the public site links to them. Constraints worth knowing before touching it:
+
+- An edit only rewrites the `.toml` sidecar. Any key other than `caption` and `date` in a hand-written sidecar is dropped, same as on upload.
+- Slugs from the URL are matched against the photos actually in `content/`, never joined into a path.
+- `sameOrigin` compares the `Origin` header against `-base-url`, because behind nginx the `Host` header is the upstream address. A wrong `-base-url` therefore breaks saving in browsers that send no `Sec-Fetch-Site`.
+- Delete is permanent and takes two steps: `GET /manage/delete/{slug}` only shows a confirmation page, the `POST` does the work. `Generator.Delete` removes the image and sidecar from `content/` first, then the four renditions and `public/photo/<slug>/`, all under the build mutex. There is no trash folder — recovery means restoring from a backup.
+- Listing pages are put right by the rebuild that follows, which also prunes what a delete or a date change leaves behind: `renderDayPages` drops `public/day/<date>/` for days without photos, and `prunePages` drops pager pages past the last one. Renditions of photos removed from `content/` by hand (not via `/manage`) are still **not** pruned.

+- **Images** — four renditions per photo: original copy, 600×600 centre-cropped square thumbnail, a 1600px-longest-side "medium" for the detail page, and a 1200px "og" for link previews. Catmull-Rom resize. Outputs are skipped when newer than the source.
 - **Feed** — Atom (`encoding/xml`)

+Missing sidecar → filename as caption, today as date. Photos sort newest first by that date.
 
 ## Design
 
 - Gruvbox dark hard colour scheme
-- Vollkorn (serif) for headings and captions
-- Manjari for Malayalam text (bio line)
-- 3-column square grid → 2-column on mobile
-- Single photo page with sidebar
+- Crimson Pro (serif) for headings and captions — configurable via `-serif-family` / `-fonts-url`
+- Manjari for Malayalam text (bio line), via `-ml-family`
+- Two views of the same photos, both 3-column square grid → 2-column on mobile, both with infinite-scroll load-more. Page size is configurable via `-page-size` (default 60; NixOS `services.photogallery.pageSize`):
+  - **Timeline is the site root by default** (`/`, `/page/2/`, …). Photos grouped by calendar day: one ISO date heading (`2026-06-14`) + count per day, then the square grid. `groupByDay` collapses the newest-first list into consecutive same-day runs; `chunkDayGroups` packs whole days into pages targeting `pageSize`, never splitting a day across a page boundary (so appended pages never duplicate a heading — the load-more JS relies on this).
+  - **Grid** (`/grid/`, `/grid/page/2/`, …) is the flat square grid, linked from the profile header.
+  - Each timeline date heading links to a **single-day page** (`/day/<YYYY-MM-DD>/`) holding just that day's photos. `renderDayPages` writes one per `groupByDay` run; the ISO label doubles as the URL slug.
+- Which view owns the site root is set by `-default-view timeline|grid` (NixOS `services.photogallery.defaultView`). The other view moves under `/<name>/`: with `-default-view grid` the grid is `/` and the timeline is `/timeline/`. `viewBase` and `pageURL` in `generator.go` derive every page path and pager link from that, and the templates take the cross-links as `GridURL` / `TimelineURL` — never hardcode `/grid/` or `/`. On each build the directory named after the default view is removed, since it can only be a leftover from before a switch.
+- Single photo page with sidebar and newer/older navigation
+
+### Link previews
+
+Photo pages carry Open Graph + Twitter-card meta tags so a shared link unfurls
+in WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. `generateOG` writes a dedicated `public/og/`
+rendition — 1200px longest side, quality laddered down until under ~250 KB,
+because WhatsApp drops the preview above ~300 KB and the medium rendition can
+exceed that. The `og:image` URL is absolute (`{{.BaseURL}}/...`); both crawlers
+ignore relative image paths, and previews only work against the deployed
+`-base-url`, never `http://localhost`. `og:image:width`/`height` come from
+`DecodeConfig` on the OG file, read even when the file itself was skipped as up
+to date. Both platforms cache per URL — after a deploy, re-scrape via
+`@webpagebot` (Telegram) or Facebook's sharing debugger (WhatsApp).
+
+### Photo page navigation
+
+`static/photo-nav.js` handles arrow keys and touch swipe. Both read their
+destinations from the `[data-nav="newer"]` / `[data-nav="older"]` anchors the
+template renders, so a photo with no sibling in that direction has nothing to
+find and the gesture rubber-bands. If the script fails to load the links still
+work.
+
+Swipe left → older, right → newer, matching ArrowRight/ArrowLeft. Constraints
+worth knowing before touching it:
+
+- Swipes starting within 24px of a screen edge are ignored — that strip is the browser's own back-gesture.
+- Only `pointerType === "touch"`, so desktop drag-to-save is untouched.
+- Axis locks once after 10px so vertical drags stay scrolls; `touch-action: pan-y` tells the compositor the same.
+- The image is wrapped in an `<a>` to the full-size original, so the click trailing a swipe is suppressed or it opens a new tab.
+- `EXIT_MS` in the JS must stay in sync with the transition duration in `style.css`.
+
+Anything added under `static/` is embedded and copied to `public/static/`
+automatically — `assets.go` embeds the whole directory and `copyStatic()` walks
+every entry, so new CSS/JS needs no generator change.

+
+The server is not modified by this app. Everything it needs, it does client

+## Build
+
+```bash
+cd android
+nix develop          # Android SDK 36, build-tools 36.0.0, JDK 17, gradle
+gradle wrapper       # first time only, generates ./gradlew
+./gradlew assembleDebug
+adb install -r app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
+```
+
+The dev shell exports `ANDROID_HOME`, `JAVA_HOME` and a `GRADLE_OPTS` that
+points AGP at the nix-provided `aapt2`. Without that last one AGP downloads a
+generic-linux `aapt2` from Maven which will not run on NixOS.
+
+## Release signing
+
+`app/build.gradle.kts` wires up a release signing config only when
+`android/keystore.properties` exists. Both that file and `*.jks` are
+gitignored — keep the keystore outside the repo and back it up somewhere you
+will still have in five years, because losing it means you can never upgrade an
+installed build in place.
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/keys
+keytool -genkeypair -v \
+  -keystore ~/keys/photogallery-release.jks \
+  -alias photogallery \
+  -keyalg RSA -keysize 4096 -validity 10000
+```
+
+Then write `android/keystore.properties`:
+
+```properties
+storeFile=/home/you/keys/photogallery-release.jks
+storePassword=…
+keyAlias=photogallery
+keyPassword=…
+```
+
+```bash
+./gradlew assembleRelease
+```
+
+Without `keystore.properties` the release build still runs, it just comes out
+unsigned.
+
+## How it maps onto the server
+
+| Server behaviour | What the app does about it |
+|---|---|
+| Slug derived from the uploaded filename | Sends `yyyy-MM-dd-HHmmss.jpg`, generated once at enqueue |
+| Same filename overwrites the same post | Reused across retries, which makes retries idempotent |
+| Uploaded file published verbatim as "full size" | Strips EXIF, including GPS, before upload |
+| Extension check rejects HEIC | Converts HEIC to JPEG; JPEG and PNG pass through losslessly |
+| nginx `client_max_body_size 20M` | Steps quality, then resolution, if the result exceeds 18 MiB |
+| Thumbnailer ignores EXIF orientation | Bakes rotation into the pixels rather than relying on the tag |
+| nginx only proxies `/upload`, so `/health` 404s | Tests credentials with `GET /upload` instead |
+| Replies `uploaded <slug>.jpg` in plain text | Parses that into `<base>/photo/<slug>/` for the "Open" link |

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt
