devlog 003: personal dashboard
Mostly a fixes session. Nothing new shipped but a lot of things that were broken or annoying got resolved.
The calendar was the biggest one. It had been crammed into a half-width column sharing space with the timer and reading list, which made the weekly view basically unusable. It now takes up the full right two-thirds of the screen, which is what it needed to actually function as a calendar. Time blocks, day columns, navigation arrows, auto-scroll to the current hour on load. It looks right now.
Google Calendar auth also finally works. The onboarding screen had appeared once, I hit “later,” and the flag that tracks whether it had been seen was permanently set with no way to reset it from the UI. A connect button in settings now clears that flag and shows the onboarding immediately, no restart needed. Went through the actual browser consent flow and it works: browser opens, redirect hits the loopback server, token stores correctly.
Two bugs on the smaller side. The photo picker was freezing the app completely because the file dialog was running on the main Tauri thread using the blocking API variant instead of the async one. One-line fix once the cause was clear. The calendar time labels were getting clipped by overflow collapsing the absolute-positioned label column. Widening the column tracks from 36px to 48px cleared it.
Spotify got shrunk. It was taking up a full-width row with nothing in it. Now it is a compact 80px cell in the top strip next to the timer and reading list, which is the right amount of space for it.
Next session: draggable grid with persistent layout.
