Journaley

Journaley is a simple, modern journaling app built with SvelteKit, Tailwind CSS, shadcn-svelte conventions, Convex, and Convex Auth.

Features

• Authenticated daily markdown entries with live Convex data.
• Dashboard with recent entries, streaks, activity, mood counts, and tag insights.
• Entry workspace with create/edit dialog, markdown preview, date, mood, pin/archive state, tags, search, filters, and sorting.
• Normalized tagging with usage counts and entry/tag joins.
• Convex full-text search over title, body text, mood, and tags.
• Warm light theme, dark mode, and basic user settings.

Development

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Push Convex functions and regenerate types:

CONVEX_AGENT_MODE=anonymous npx convex dev --once

Start the SvelteKit app:

pnpm dev

The local app runs at http://localhost:5173. Convex local deployment values live in .env.local.

Auth

This project uses Convex Auth with email/password for local development. The initializer created convex/auth.config.ts, convex/auth.ts, and convex/http.ts; the frontend uses @mmailaender/convex-auth-svelte for SvelteKit auth state and auth routes.

Production auth configuration is intentionally not completed yet. Configure production deployment URL, site URL, keys, and redirect behavior before deploying.

Scripts

• pnpm dev starts SvelteKit.
• pnpm build builds the app.
• pnpm preview previews the production build.
• pnpm check runs Svelte and TypeScript checks.
• pnpm lint runs Prettier checks and ESLint.
• pnpm format formats the codebase.

Project Layout

• convex/ contains schema, auth, entries, tags, settings, and analytics functions.
• src/routes/ contains SvelteKit pages and layout.
• src/lib/components/ contains reusable UI, logo, theme, and markdown components.
• static/favicon.svg contains the Journaley mark.
