1. Arrow key navigation
* ↓ moves through the list.
* ↑ moves back.
* Enter selects.
* Esc closes.
2. Auto-scroll to the current category
* If you’re editing an entry in “Food”, clicking ▼ would open the list with “Food” already visible and highlighted instead of making you hunt through 200 categories.

Library Design Principles

• Clicking an object performs its primary action.
• Modifier keys accelerate existing actions.
• Administrative functions are hidden until needed.
• Search is the primary navigation.
• Every click should either reveal information or reduce work.
• Prefer fewer permanent controls over more visible controls.

Things I’d put on the short list:

* Long-press category on iOS (same menu as right-click).
* Arrow-key navigation in the category picker.
* Scroll the category picker to the current category when it opens.
* Close all / Expand all categories.
* Option-click category to expand/collapse all (just an idea).
* Undo for rename and sort (using the same one-level undo philosophy).

* Split the JavaScript into modules (search.js, category-menu.js, entries.js, undo.js, etc.). It’s reached the point where that will pay dividends.
* Add a tiny CHANGELOG.md. Even if you’re the only developer, you’ll thank yourself six months from now.
* Start a ROADMAP.md with exactly the ideas you’ve been mentioning. It’s much easier to finish polishing when you know future ideas are safely written down.

Library UI Principles

* The interface should be as minimal as possible.
* The primary action should always be one click/tap.
* Secondary actions belong in context menus.
* Power-user shortcuts (Option-click, right-click, etc.) should never be required but should make frequent tasks faster.
* Don’t interrupt the user with confirmation dialogs when Undo is available.
* Everything should feel equally natural on desktop and mobile.
* Prefer revealing functionality over displaying buttons.
* Preserve context after every action (return to the edited/appended/restored entry).

pin/unpin category depending on status

remove entry icons: right click (long press) for append, edit, delete, favorite (unfavorite)

────────── 27 Jun 2026 19:37 ──────────

collapse all: right click on title or add to ellipsis.

────────── 28 Jun 2026 12:30 ──────────

when a new entry is added, and moved into a category, show the new entry (flash yellow)

────────── 28 Jun 2026 12:48 ──────────

Next time

The things I’d have at the top of the list are:

* Replace the entry action icons with a context menu (desktop right-click, iOS long-press).
* Add “Remove Favorite” and “Unpin” when appropriate.
* Make the Organize dialog jump to the moved entry after reload.
* Eventually replace the prompt() for new category with an inline text field.
