Arabic runs the app right to left, but margins, paddings, insets, text
alignment, borders and corner radii were written for the left side, so
icons sat against the wrong edge of their labels, indents and badges
pointed the wrong way and amount columns aligned left. They now use the
logical forms (ms-, ps-, start-, text-start, marginInlineStart,
insetInlineEnd and their CSS equivalents), which are the very same sides
in a left to right language. Geometry stays physical on purpose: maps,
positions measured from the pointer or a bounding box, time axes,
sliders, transforms and print output.
Amounts drawn as several spans keep their order in a right to left row,
the time picker keeps hours before minutes, and two switches whose thumb
slid out of its track in Arabic now move the right way.
lint:rtl counts what is still physical per file against a baseline that
may only shrink (1512 uses in 370 files before, 319 in 113 now), and CI
runs it, so new code reaches for the logical forms.
Small requests from the discussions, each built end to end: planner and
map (cycling mode, date first headings, clear a day, stay times per day,
off-route stops, map lock, compact unplanned markers, pending stays,
cable car, transit quick picks), places (location filter, category from
OSM, open in maps, geo: link, image from an attachment, enrichment on
file import, places near a pin, place name language, Amap first in
China), lists and costs (packed counter, inherited sharing, Markdown
to-dos, payment notes, bookings CSV, my plan PDF), sharing (unplanned
places, travel only, without photos), journey (photo zoom, drafts,
photo order, trip suggestion, day jump), atlas (region counter, region
bucket list, places per country), vacay half company holidays, studio
copy and paste plus the book's own layouts, and RESTORE_FROM_BACKUP for
a first start restore.
The trip planner and the journal get a "From Dawarich" list: the stays
recorded for those dates, each one a row that can be dismissed or turned
into a place or an entry after a review step that shows time, name, note
and day. A place that came from a recording carries the Dawarich mark
next to its name so its origin stays visible afterwards.
The recorded route lies over the trip and journal maps as an overlay,
coloured per day and cut along the reader's own timezone rather than
UTC. It is fetched for the window on screen and never stored.
The Atlas gets its own panel beside the map for the countries and cities
the recordings prove, and the wish list is ticked off there, on the day
of the visit, undoably. The phone has its own take on all of it, in the
mobile shell's colours and with native sheets.
