nmemmertandClaude Opus 5.5 ade7f1af6f Speed up the app, run production build, remove chunk ink, start App.jsx split
Performance:
- Lazy-load pages, docx, and mammoth (initial JS 1,298 KB -> ~290 KB)
- Gzip responses and cache hashed assets for a year
- Memoize DrawCanvas strokes so ink isn't redrawn on every render
- Precompute whole-Bible search index and defer the query while typing
- Reload once if a lazy chunk is missing after a deploy

Deployment:
- setup.sh builds and runs one production server on APP_PORT (default
  5173); --dev keeps the old Vite dev setup
- Session cookie uses secure: 'auto' so login works behind any proxy

Chunk editor:
- Remove the Draw layout, Ink Notes panel, and ink in HTML export
  (existing inkStrokes data is left in saved projects)

Refactor:
- Move module-level helpers out of App.jsx into src/utils/*
- Extract Bible reader state and logic into hooks/useBibleReader

# Bible Study App
A self-hosted Bible study tool with notes, projects, and user accounts.
---
## Requirements
- **Node.js v18 or higher** — [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
- **npm** (bundled with Node.js)
- **GCC / make** (only needed for production/server installs — required to build the `better-sqlite3` native module)
---
## Quick Start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nmemmert/study-bible-project.git
cd study-bible-project
bash setup.sh
```
`setup.sh` installs dependencies, builds the optimized frontend, and runs one
production server (frontend + API) on **http://localhost:5173**. Set `APP_PORT`
to use a different port. If the build fails, the previously running server is
left untouched. `bash restart.sh` pulls the latest code and does the same.
**Stop / logs:**
```bash
kill $(cat .api.pid)
tail -f .api.log
```
### Development mode (hot reload)
```bash
bash setup.sh --dev
```
Starts the API on http://localhost:3001 and the Vite dev server on
http://localhost:5173. Dev mode is much slower, so don't use it for real users.
---
## Production Install (Ubuntu / systemd)
Installs the app as a persistent systemd service under `/opt/study-app`.
```bash
# Install Node.js 20 (if not already installed)
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
# Install build tools (required for better-sqlite3)
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python3
# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/nmemmert/study-bible-project.git
cd study-bible-project
sudo bash deploy/install.sh
```
The installer will:
1. Install Node.js dependencies and build the frontend
2. Create a `study-app` system user
3. Register and start a systemd service
**Useful commands after install:**
```bash
systemctl status study-app # Check service status
journalctl -u study-app -f # Stream logs
systemctl restart study-app # Restart after an update
```
**Open the firewall port (if needed):**
```bash
sudo ufw allow 3001/tcp
sudo ufw reload
```
The app listens on **port 3001** by default. Set the `PORT` environment variable in the systemd unit to change it.
---
## Updating (Production)
```bash
cd /path/to/study-bible-project
git pull
sudo bash deploy/install.sh
```
The installer preserves the session secret across updates so logged-in users are not signed out.
---
## Migrating to a New Machine
**On the old machine — create a backup:**
```bash
npm run backup
```
This creates `study-app-backup_<timestamp>.zip` in the project root.
**On the new machine — restore after cloning and installing:**
Development:
```bash
npm run restore study-app-backup_<timestamp>.zip
```
Production (after `sudo bash deploy/install.sh` completes):
```bash
sudo bash scripts/restore-data.sh study-app-backup_<timestamp>.zip --production
```
See [scripts/backup-data.sh](scripts/backup-data.sh) and [scripts/restore-data.sh](scripts/restore-data.sh) for details.
