- The Downloads module, its rail icon and badge are gone. A bookmark, the remembered page and an old
history entry that name it land on Files (urlState.resolvePage); `g d` goes to Files too.
- Users page: a Storage tab — the disk in numbers, every user's use against their own limit with
their file count, every user's downloads; aligned tables, one menu per row (edit / reset quota,
open source, copy, the owner's quota). The admin storage rows carry quota + file count, the admin
job list its owner.
- Settings: a Downloads tab — the download formats in one list (duplicate a built-in, edit or delete
your own) and the site sign-ins, moved from Account.
- "View" on an added download, a clip or a converting upload opens the tray on that row (unfolded,
back if closed; a finished one opens as a file; under a player it opens without taking focus).
- The download dialog opens on the format used last.
- DataTable: `pager={false}` for a short list, `cardRow` to give a lone "…" its own card line.
- Welcome and README speak of Files; a new Files screenshot.
The seven gallery shots dated from 2026-07 and still showed the old
labelled sidebar with the removed Messages item. Retaken at the same size
(1200x675 @2x, dark) from the localdev stack with the E2E account (no
personal account name on screen), filled for the shoot with a copy of a
real account's subscriptions, playlists and finished downloads, removed
again afterwards.
The lime accent was the loudest of the four (OKLCH L 0.85, C 0.21) and read as neon; the owner chose the
moss variant at Midnight's lightness with near-neutral greys, and the Matrix backdrops follow it. Fixed
white/black parts on a solid accent fill (two switch knobs, three play buttons, the Up next pill) now use
--accent-fg, and theme.contract.test.ts refuses a fixed white or black next to a solid bg-accent.
Four schemes (Midnight; Forest cyan, Slate fuchsia, Matrix lime), YouTube
and Starship retired with no data migration: normalizeTheme maps a stored
retired scheme to Midnight. A vitest contract measures every scheme x mode
(text 4.5:1, control edge 3:1, status text, the accent's 30-degree hue gap);
it caught light-mode danger at 4.43:1, now red-700. The state layers, the
strong edge, the touch target and the fades are index.css tokens and
utilities the lab now reads. Backdrops recoloured to the new accents, with
a grey overlay grain that actually breaks the banding (longest flat run
15-26px -> 4-8px). The glass tuner is retired.
Rebuild the landing preview into a per-module screenshot gallery (feed hero + channels, playlists, search, player, downloads, Plex), reusing the existing Preview/Lightbox. Rewrite the hero + feature copy in a plainer, concise tone that reflects the current modules (Download Center, Plex, two-way playlists), in EN and HU. Regenerate all screenshots name-free. Bring the README up to date: fix the broken landing image, add the Plex feature, and correct the now-temporary YouTube-search behaviour.
Add a light set of the 6 per-scheme backdrops (public/backdrops/light/*.svg) —
soft, pastel-mid, non-figurative washes tuned to each accent so they read through
the light translucent glass. Wire them up centrally:
- App: the backdrop is on whenever bgImage && !perf (was dark-only), so light
gets it too.
- index.css: per-scheme rules are now [data-theme]-qualified — dark uses the dark
set, light the /light/ set; shared cover/fixed size rule for both.
- Settings: the Background image toggle + Image-fade slider work in light now
(removed the dark-only gates); hint no longer says 'dark only'. Trilingual.
The light glass (62% translucent tier) refracts the light backdrop just like dark
refracts its own; one fade slider controls both.
Land the UAT-approved backdrop direction as a real feature (replacing the dev
thumbnail prototype):
- 6 generated abstract SVG backdrops in public/backdrops/, one tuned to each
accent scheme (dark, mixed-colour, few light areas). Non-figurative + generated
= repo-safe, tiny, accent-matched.
- New data-backdrop="on" state (dark theme + the setting + not perf) paints the
per-scheme image on <body> (app root now transparent so it shows app-wide and
the glass refracts it) AND switches the glass to its translucent tier (the
user's tuned values: surface 50 / card 60 / scrim 30 / blur 10 / edge 25).
Off / light / perf -> flat colour + solid glass (the readable fallback).
- Settings > Appearance 'Background image' toggle (bgImage pref, dark-only),
trilingual. Flat is the fallback + opt-out.
- Remove the FeedBackdrop prototype + its tuner controls; tuner baseline resynced
to the glass-over-image tier, add a Backdrop-fade slider.
GOTCHA fixed: the dark-mode ambient 'background' shorthand reset background-size
to auto (image rendered un-covered); out-specified it with [data-theme="dark"].
Shared links didn't unfurl in Messenger: robots.txt disallowed /watch/ for ALL
user-agents, so facebookexternalhit honoured it and got a blocked (403) fetch —
the OG tags were correct but never read. Add an allow group for the link-preview
bots (facebookexternalhit, Twitterbot, Discordbot, WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram,
LinkedIn, …) so they can fetch share pages; the wildcard still keeps /watch/ out
of search indexes. Release v0.32.1.
The public landing had no meta description and no robots.txt (the SPA fallback
returned index.html for /robots.txt, so crawlers saw an invalid file). Add a
description + basic OG tags to index.html and a real robots.txt that allows the
landing but disallows the API/auth/watch surfaces. Lighthouse (dev): SEO 83->100.
Session-close cosmetics:
1. Favicon — an 'S' monogram (indigo→violet rounded square, path-drawn so it's font-independent)
at public/favicon.svg, linked in index.html (tab had none before).
2. Dynamic document.title — reflects the current module ('Downloads · Siftlode'); Feed = brand
only; an open channel page shows the channel name. Shared pageTitleKey() in lib/pageMeta.ts
keeps the tab title and the top-bar header in lockstep.
3. The 'Siftlode' logo already navigated to Feed but read as static text — added a hover
background + cursor affordance so it's clearly clickable.
4. Module header — new shared PageTitle component (used by every non-feed module via Header) with
a tracked small-caps 'eyebrow' + leading accent dot (user-picked style B), styled in one place.
Verified in a real browser: favicon served (image/svg+xml), title updates per module, logo→feed,
header restyled; no console errors.
