The column sat in the middle, so it moved as the window was resized and the
start of every line landed somewhere new. It is against the margin now.
The toolbar counts pages in the words the PDF reader uses, with a hairline where
each ends. Pages are drawn, never stored: the note stays one document, Markdown
has no page, and a check asserts none reaches the stored body. The current page
is the one under the middle of the window — measuring from the top claimed "page
1" while you stood at the foot of a two-page note, because a window is shorter
than a page.
The typeface is a per-account setting rather than a per-browser one, because a
choice about how your own notes are set should follow you to the phone. The
server takes serif, sans or mono and drops anything else; that column is written
by a browser, so it is an input like any other.
Alignment is a small extension of our own — one attribute, a parse rule, a render
rule — so the schema every stored note is validated against stays in files this
project owns. Markdown has no alignment: what CommonMark allows is embedded HTML,
so non-left blocks travel as `<div align="…">`, the one form most readers still
honour, and the importer puts it back on the paragraphs. Left is never written.
The full run caught a crash I had put in: PdfWorkspace used `noteFont` without
taking it as a prop, which the build cannot see and the type checker does not
reach in .jsx. It killed the notes panel beside a PDF, and `offline` failed with
it because the whole app was broken.

It was a page-shaped box that was not page-coloured: the same fill as everything
around it with a hairline border, so it read as an empty panel. Now it is warm
off-white in daylight and a raised surface at night — deliberately not a white
rectangle, since a page that glows brighter than the room is what makes an app
unusable in the evening.
The line ran to 84 characters, past the width at which the eye reliably finds the
start of the next line, and that was the single biggest reason the surface read
badly. Measured, not guessed: 620px of sheet with a 56px margin gives about 73.
It is centred now — it used to sit 28px from the left and stop short of the
right — with almost square corners instead of a dialog's 14px radius.
Blocks on the sheet are tinted from paper rather than from the app background,
or they read as sitting underneath it.
Five German strings survived the earlier pass, "Alle Notizen exportieren" among
them: that sweep filtered on umlauts, so sentences without one went straight
through. Swept again by word.

The paper measurably shrank on switching to Draw — 733px to 460px on the same
screen. The editor was a flex item at its default `flex: 0 1 auto`, so its width
was its widest row's: the toolbar. Swapping a dozen formatting buttons for six
drawing ones collapsed it. It now fills the pane, so the width is a property of
the window.
Each notebook remembers how its notes are ordered, on the server rather than per
device. The manual order has to survive being looked away from, so `reindex`
renumbers every note in the notebook rather than the filtered view, and dragging
is switched off while a search narrows the list. Reordering has its own route:
`PUT /notes/:id` would bump `updated_at` and snapshot a version, so a drag would
move a note to the top of "last changed" and spend a slot of its history.
Markdown and our own ZIP archives come back as notes, with their images
re-uploaded as attachments. A drawing returns as the PNG it was exported as —
vectors are not recoverable from pixels — and the import says so rather than
leaving it to be discovered. Writing the parser turned up a real bug in the
exporter: blocks were emitted with no blank line between them, so a list after a
list became one list and a quote after an item was read as part of it.
Creating or importing from "All Notes" now asks which notebook instead of
silently taking the first one. The web-link prompt is a real dialog: a bare
domain becomes https, javascript: is refused with a reason. The PDF viewer's
hide-drawing control is a labelled button rather than a filled-or-hollow dot,
and the export icon points down into a tray like every other download.

`offline` suite that loads the app cold with the network off.
