Docs: caught up with v0.13.0 to v0.19.0
The documentation had kept up feature page by feature page and nowhere
else. Now also:

- the home page's App cards (notes of any size, pictures, sharing) and its
  note (the Shell, the VPN, the screenshot key);
- the guide: VPN in the Status Bar and in Settings, the three keys that work
  everywhere, screenshots of the Shell, a picture, sharing, the VPN page and
  the help panel;
- three how-tos: move files with your phone, set up the VPN, take a
  screenshot; where the files are and what things cost in memory;
- the FAQ: screenshots, and what listens on the network;
- the README's opening: what the firmware does today;
- the glossary: Tunnel, Sharing, Screenshot;
- every milestone's status line, with the version each thing shipped in.

Everything the firmware writes goes in a folder at the top of the card. To get at it: look at the folders in the [Storage App](/guide/storage/); or [open the card in your phone's browser](/howto/phone-files/), with nothing to install; or switch the Cardputer off, take the card out and read it in a computer.
| What | Where | Kind of file |
|---|---|---|
| Notes | `/notes` | `.txt`, named after the first line |
| GNSS Tracks | `/gnss/tracks` | `.gpx`, named by date and time |
| LoRa captures | `/captures/lora` | `.pcap` |
| IRC logs | `/irc` | one text file per buffer and day |
| Wi-Fi scan logs | `/wifi/scans` | `<date>.csv` |
| Gemini Saved Pages | `/gemini/saved/<host>/…` | `.gmi` |
| Gemini bookmarks | `/gemini/bookmarks.gmi` | gemtext |
| Files saved from Gemini that are not text | `/gemini/downloads` | whatever they were |
| Update files | `/updates` | `.ota` |
| [Screenshots](/howto/screenshot/) (<kbd>Fn</kbd> + <kbd>p</kbd>) | `/screenshots` | `.png`, named by date and time |
| A VPN configuration waiting to be imported | `/vpn/wg0.conf` | you put it there; delete it once imported |
## Rules worth knowing
- **Eject first.** A file being written (today's IRC log, a Track or a capture being recorded) is not complete until it stops. Stop it, or switch the device off, before you take the card out.
- **Notes are yours.** You can edit them on a computer and they show up on the device; the clean-up never offers them for deletion.
- **Don't rename the top-level folders.** The firmware looks for them by name.
- **Logs stop at 90% full,** so the remaining space is kept for captures. The [Storage App](/guide/storage/)'s Maintenance shows what is using the card and clears old logs and captures, after showing what it would free.
