Who this is for:
Danilo is a developer and blogger running a bilingual (IT/EN) Hugo site at danix.xyz. He maintains a PyQt6 desktop app called my-publisher that centralizes his blog publishing workflow, and is currently extending it post-v1.0 launch.
What we covered:
Two features were implemented this session. First, draft article visual hints: added a draft property to the Article dataclass, amber [DRAFT] prefix in article list items, and a DRAFT badge in the article detail header. Second, article list metadata display: added four properties to Article (meta_type, meta_tags, meta_categories, meta_date), then updated the article list to show a two-line row per article with slug+badge on line 1 and type/date/tags/categories on line 2. The two-line rendering required three iterations to fix: setWordWrap failed, setTextElideMode failed, and the final working solution was a custom QStyledItemDelegate that draws both lines directly onto the canvas bypassing Qt elision entirely. The app was tagged v1.1 and pushed to origin.
What was confirmed:
All 30 tests pass. The delegate approach (ArticleItemDelegate in ui/articles_view.py) is the correct solution for multi-line QListWidget items in PyQt6. Line 2 metadata is stored in Qt.ItemDataRole.UserRole+1 and drawn in dimmed #888 color. Draft items show amber #f59e0b.
Missing-translation items show red #ff6b6b. The blog's TOML frontmatter uses lowercase keys: type, date, tags, categories. Tag v1.1 is pushed to danix_git:publisher.
Still in progress:
Nothing was left open in this session. The remaining TODO items from TODO.md are: TaxonomyView Categories tab, MissingTranslationView Traduci button, font size spinner in SetupDialog, multi-token tag autocomplete in FrontmatterEditor, transart backend availability validation,
taxonomy tag rename propagation to articles, and Ctrl+Q keyboard shortcut.
Next steps:
Pick the next TODO item to implement. Suggested order by impact: (1) Ctrl+Q keyboard shortcut — trivial, one line in main_window.py; (2) font size spinner in SetupDialog (ui/setup_dialog.py) — moderate, saves via Config.save() and re-applies with app.setFont(); (3) transart backend
availability check using OLLAMA_HOST; (4) MissingTranslationView Traduci button — wire translate_requested signal per row; (5) TaxonomyView Categories tab; (6) taxonomy tag rename propagation; (7) multi-token tag autocomplete in ui/frontmatter_editor.py.
