litman v1.1.0 — Web GUI

lit gui launches a localhost Web UI for reading, annotating, and curating your
library — the CLI's growing superset, plus in-app reading and PDF annotation the
terminal can't do. No cloud, single machine, your data stays local.

pipx install --force litman   # upgrade
lit gui                       # open the Web UI

Highlights

  • lit gui — a local Web UI to browse, read, and annotate papers (localhost only).
  • In-app PDF reading + annotation — highlight / text / freehand draw, per-annotation
    notes, focus mode, dark mode, scoped zoom, and a remembered reading position.
  • Curate without the terminal — soft-delete + trash restore, taxonomy value
    rename/delete, project create / rename / set-path, and vault register / switch — all
    in the GUI.
  • Edit in place — notes & discussion markdown editing, structured metadata (cockpit)
    edits, and guarded read/unread stamping (with read-date ordering enforced).
  • Live-sync with the CLI — the GUI reflects changes made outside it and keeps an
    activity log via diff-on-resync.
  • Search — ⌘K ranked typeahead across 4 scopes, deep-linkable.
  • Keyboard-first — 3-tier shortcut scheme + cheat sheet, tab cycling, ⌘K palette.
  • lit cite — ACS compact citation, with a Cite button in the GUI.
  • lit uninstall — reverse lit setup (removes skill / completions / registry;
    never touches your vault data).

Other changes

  • The Web UI is now a core dependencypipx install litman includes it (the
    [web] extra is gone).
  • Dropped papers stay visible (muted) inline in Reading / Read instead of vanishing.
  • Windows: unlock read-only TRUTH files before replace/delete.
  • Thread-safe shared YAML instances; assorted GUI and curation fixes.
