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.
A shared-with-me item only had a download button. Add two actions (Share is intentionally NOT
offered — no chain re-sharing of someone else's file):
- Edit: the editor now accepts an accessible (owned OR shared) source, so editing a shared video
produces the editor's OWN clip in their library (counts against their quota, fully theirs
including share); the source file is only read. Route uses _accessible_job.
- Remove from my list: DELETE /api/downloads/shared/{job_id} deletes only the recipient's share
grant — the owner's job and physical file are untouched (per-user dismissal).
i18n en/hu/de. Verified in a real browser (edit a shared 70-min video → own 2:31 clip; remove
confirm shows 'won't delete the owner's file').
Rework the share dialog into two clear modes and add the public /watch player page:
- ShareDialog: (A) 'Share with a user' — autocomplete picker over registered users (was a blind
email box that 404'd on non-users); (B) 'Share a link' — create/list/copy/revoke public links
with allow-download toggle, optional expiry (1/7/30d), optional password; per-link view count.
- WatchPage: standalone login-free player at /watch/<token> (routed in main.tsx like /privacy),
self-contained mini-i18n (en/hu/de by browser language); password gate → unlock → play; shows a
Download button only when the link allows it.
- api: ShareLink/ShareRecipient types + link CRUD + recipients; share i18n (en/hu/de).
Verified end-to-end in a real browser: user picker, link create, public playback, stream-only vs
downloadable, password gate + unlock, no console errors.
Rework VideoEditor around a segment cut-list: N draggable cut markers → segments, per-segment
keep/drop (eye toggle + dropped hatch), output = Separate files (one job per kept segment) or
Join into one (segments cut-list → one concatenated file). Per-segment numeric Start/End inputs.
Filmstrip fixed: aspect-correct tiles (no vertical squish) + YouTube-style hover-scrub thumbnail
from the sprite. EditSpec.segments type; editor v2 i18n (en/hu/de). Verified end-to-end in a real
browser (3-segment split, drop middle, join → 0:12 clip from a 0:19 source).
VideoEditor modal on a finished Library download: HTML5 <video> scrubber, filmstrip timeline
(lazy server storyboard sprite) with draggable in/out handles, draggable/resizable crop overlay,
per-edit Precise (re-encode) vs Fast (stream-copy) cut toggle, split-into-N fan-out (N trim jobs),
optional clip name. Edited clips show a 'Clip' badge; 'editing' phase gets a % bar. New api
enqueueEdit/downloadStoryboard/storyboardImageUrl + EditSpec type; editor i18n (en/hu/de).
A plain <a> file download can't send the X-Siftlode-Account header, so current_user resolved
it to the session-default account — 404 'Unknown download' when the tab acts as a non-default
wallet account that owns the file. resolved_user_id now also honours a ?account= query param
(the same wallet-gated selection the WebSocket already uses), and downloadFileUrl appends the
active account id. Verified: default account -> 404, ?account=<owner> -> 206 with the right
Content-Disposition.
Multi-account-in-one-browser (esp. with per-tab accounts) leaked one account's client state
into another via shared localStorage keys. Scope every account-specific key by the tab's active
account (accountKey/readAccount/writeAccount/useAccountPersistedState helpers), so nothing bleeds
across accounts or tabs:
- Real leaks: selected playlist, client notification history + settings, onboarding-dismissed.
- UI position: feed page, channel-manager filter/view + tables, playlist sort, Settings/Stats/
Users/Config tabs.
- Previously DB-adopted caches (theme, hints, performance mode, sidebar layout, nav/filter
collapse) — now the cache is per-account too, so there's no flash of the other account's value
on login.
Kept intentionally global: siftlode.lang (needed pre-login on the Welcome page; the DB pref still
scopes it per-account after sign-in) and siftlode.seenVersion (a per-browser 'new version' banner).
E2EE private keys (IndexedDB) and the chat-dock key were already per-user.
Feed filters and the default-saved-view mirror lived under shared localStorage keys, so one
account's view (incl. its starred default) leaked into another account signed into the same
browser — visible with per-tab accounts as a fresh account showing the previous account's
'N active' filters instead of a clean default.
Key both by the tab's active account (siftlode.filters.<id> / siftlode.defaultViewFilters.<id>);
load a tab's filters from its own account on login/switch/add, falling back to defaults when the
account isn't known yet. A share link's filters still win and are persisted to the account. The
old shared keys are simply no longer read (a one-time reset to defaults on the first load after
this change; migrating them would risk re-leaking across accounts).
Two tabs in one browser can now run two different signed-in accounts at once.
- The signed session cookie stays the browser's account WALLET (account_ids). Which account a
given tab acts as is a per-tab choice held in sessionStorage and sent per-request via the
X-Siftlode-Account header; current_user honours it only for an account already in the wallet,
without mutating the cookie's default account. Switching accounts sets the header + reloads
THIS tab only, instead of the old cookie-wide switch that changed every tab.
- WebSocket can't send headers, so the per-tab account rides in the ?account= query param
(validated against the wallet).
- Logout is per-tab aware: it signs the requesting tab's active account out of the wallet
(promoting a new default only if the removed one was the default), and the tab drops its
override. A stale per-tab header account 401s just that tab instead of clearing the session.
- Serve index.html with Cache-Control: no-cache so a deploy's new hashed bundle is picked up
immediately instead of the browser running a heuristically-cached stale index.html.
Restructure the app shell into three top-level columns:
- The per-user sync status (video counts + live sync state) moves from the top bar to a
compact block at the top of the left nav rail (icon-only with a tooltip when collapsed).
- The feed's Mine/Library scope toggle moves to the top of the filter sidebar.
- The filter sidebar becomes a full-height sibling column with its own collapse control
(a thin rail carrying the active-filter count), mirroring the nav rail. The top bar is
now just the feed search / page title.
- Both panels' collapsed state is persisted to the user's preferences (server-side, so it
follows the account across devices), seeded from a localStorage cache to avoid a flash.
Default: both panels open.
useBackToClose eagerly pushed a history entry on mount and called history.back()
on unmount. During a modal->modal handoff (e.g. About -> Release Notes) the two ran
interleaved in one React commit, so the entering modal's popstate listener mistook the
leaving modal's back() for a genuine user Back and closed itself instantly. It also left
the history pointer behind the surviving entry, so a later browser Back walked off the app.
Replace the eager per-mount push/pop with a single shared popstate handler plus a
coalesced microtask that reconciles history depth to the live overlay count once per tick.
A handoff's -1/+1 nets to zero, so the new modal simply reuses the old entry -- no churn,
no flash, and Back closes the modal in-app.
- Remove owner-specific / legacy deploy files (home/prod/server compose, deploy/).
The home compose stays as a local untracked file for the maintainer's own deploy.
- Genericise infra-specific code comments (egress-proxy examples) to neutral wording.
- Replace the hardcoded contact email on the legal pages with the instance operator's
configured admin email, served via the public /auth/config and shown with a neutral
fallback — so each self-hosted instance shows its own contact.
- Rewrite README for the current app + a copy-paste self-hosting quick start (prebuilt
image + first-run wizard) with a build-from-source alternative; tidy .env.example.
Moves the Tags widget up (after Upload date) in the default sidebar layout.
Only affects fresh layouts; existing users keep their persisted arrangement.
A new "Saved views" filter-sidebar widget (SavedViewsWidget): save the
current filters under a name, apply one with a click (active-highlighted
when it matches), rename, delete (confirm), drag-reorder, share by link
(reuses shareUrl), and star one as the default. The default view's filters
are mirrored to localStorage so loadInitialFilters applies it synchronously
on load/F5 (an api/url share link still wins; no default → last-session
filters as before). Hidden for the demo account. EN/HU/DE.
useBackToClose closes an overlay programmatically (X button or ESC) by
setting the module-global suppressPop=true and calling history.back(), so
the remaining overlays' popstate handlers ignore that synthetic pop. But
the flag was only ever reset by one of those handlers — when the closed
overlay had no overlay underneath it (the common single-player case),
nothing consumed it and suppressPop leaked true.
The next overlay's first real Back then hit the stale true, reset it and
returned early without closing — the Back was silently swallowed. Symptom
in the YouTube-search flow: close the player with the X button, open
another, press Back once -> nothing happens; a second Back closes it AND
discards the search results, dumping you on the normal feed.
Fix: register a one-shot popstate listener alongside suppressPop=true so
the flag is cleared on that very pop even when no overlay remains to
consume it. Nesting is unaffected (an underlying overlay still short-
circuits first and the one-shot is a redundant no-op).
- Live-search view: a results-count selector (20/40/60/100) replaces manual load-more (the free
scrape source pages until that many are gathered); an 'these results are temporary' banner with
a 'Clear now' button that discards them 'as if never added' (api.clearSearch) and returns to
the feed.
- Channel blocklist: a Block/Unblock toggle + 'Blocked' badge on the channel page (blocked
channels don't auto-explore and their videos are hidden), and a 'Blocked channels' section in
the Channel manager with one-click unblock. ChannelDetail.blocked from the backend.
- Admin: a 'Purge discovery' button on the Scheduler page (immediate un-kept search/explore
cleanup). EN/HU/DE throughout.
Frontend for the channel-explore feature:
- ChannelPage: banner/avatar/stats header, Subscribe/unsubscribe, an "exploring" badge
while browsing an un-subscribed channel, Videos/About tabs. Reuses Feed scoped to the
channel (scope=all + source=all so the per-user ephemeral videos show). Auto-ingests
recent uploads on first visit (background, with a loading note) + "Load more from
YouTube" to page deeper; skipped for demo / already-subscribed channels.
- App: openChannel/closeChannel as a Back-aware sub-view (history.state._chan, mirrors the
YT-search _yt pattern); ChannelPage takes over the content column, nav rail stays.
- ChannelLink/cards/player: the channel name now opens our channel page (onChannelFilter →
onOpenChannel); the in-card "only this channel" filter button is dropped (the page
subsumes it). PlayerModal channel-name wiring follows in the next commit.
- api: channelDetail + exploreChannel; ChannelDetail/ExploreResult types.
- i18n EN/HU/DE: channel namespace, explore_cleanup scheduler labels, explore config group,
channels_explore quota label.
The search response now reports its source; in scrape mode (zero quota) the
results banner and Load-more button drop the 'uses quota' wording. Adds the
search_source toggle's labels/hints and updates the per-user-limit hint to note
the cost only applies to the api source. EN/HU/DE.
The new library_source provenance filter wasn't serialised into the Share-view URL, so a
copied link lost the 'search results only' (or 'include search') selection. Add it as the
'source' param (emitted only in 'all' scope, omitted for the default 'organic').
Typing in the search box changed the feed/count/facets query keys on every keystroke, so
each query dropped to its loading state and blanked the content — the whole feed area
flickered. Debounce the search term feeding the queries (the input still updates instantly)
so they only re-run after a pause, and keep previous results on screen during a refetch via
placeholderData: keepPreviousData, so the feed and tag counts update in place without blanking.
Replace the binary 'show search-discovered' toggle with a 3-way Source selector in the
Library toolbar, so users can also see ONLY search-discovered videos — not just hide or
mix them. Backend: feed param library_source = organic (default, hides via_search) | all
(both) | search (only via_search), applied in scope=all. Strings in HU/EN/DE.
Surface live YouTube search in the existing feed, triggered explicitly so the
expensive API call is never per-keystroke.
- Header: the search box still filters the local catalog as you type; Enter or a
YouTube button escalates the term to a live search (hidden for the demo account).
- Feed: a dedicated infinite query renders results in the same VirtualFeed cards +
in-app player, under a banner with a back button and a quota note. No auto-paginate
(each page spends 100 units) — an explicit 'Load more (uses quota)' button instead;
quota/limit errors (incl. 429) shown inline. The empty local feed offers a
'Search YouTube for <q>' CTA.
- Library: a 'Search-discovered' toggle reveals search-ingested videos (hidden by
default); sent as exclude_search_discovered.
- Admin: search_daily_limit_per_user config field; new videos_search quota label.
- All new strings translated in HU/EN/DE.
Moves the ~140 lines of pure URL/timestamp/hashtag parsing + renderDescription out
of the 659-line PlayerModal into a standalone, testable module. No behavior change.
- formatEta was hardcoded English (violated the trilingual rule) -> time.eta.* keys
in EN/HU/DE; Scheduler's countdown 'now' likewise.
- relativeFromMs added to format.ts; NotificationsPanel drops its duplicate
relativeTime/relativeFromMs and the now-orphaned notifications.time.* keys.
- Channels' fmtTotalDuration moved to format.ts as formatTotalHours.
lib/useDismiss.ts replaces the identical mousedown-outside + Escape effect that
DataTable (filter popover), Channels (tag picker) and AddToPlaylist each hand-rolled.
Positioning stays with each caller (it genuinely varies); AddToPlaylist keeps its
own resize/scroll reposition effect.
- errorDialog + hints now use createStore (drop their bespoke listener arrays).
- theme/sidebarLayout/notifications/App filters/Playlists plSort use readMerged/
readJSON/writeJSON instead of inline try/JSON.parse/catch.
- Stats, SettingsPanel and App's channel filter/view tabs use usePersistedState
(the 3 sites that reinvented usePersistedTab inline).
- Every siftlode.* key now sourced from the LS registry (no scattered literals).
- lib/store.ts: createStore<T> — one observable-value primitive (get/set/subscribe/use)
replacing the hand-rolled listeners/subscribe/emit triad several modules each had.
- lib/storage.ts: LS key registry (every siftlode.* key in one place), readMerged/
readJSON/writeJSON (the try/JSON.parse/merge/catch done once), and usePersistedState
(the reactive persisted-string hook, generalizing usePersistedTab).
In-app history only tracked the top-level page, so Back from a module sub-view
(e.g. a Messages thread) or with a modal open jumped straight to the previous
module. Add two history primitives: useHistorySubview (a module's sub-view rides
in history.state, so Back returns to its root first) and useBackToClose (a
mounted overlay occupies one history entry; Back closes the topmost, nesting-safe
so a button-close doesn't trip the modals underneath). Apply to the Messages page
views and to PlayerModal + the shared Modal. setPage now pushes a clean entry so
each page starts at its root.
The pre-login ?access=requested (and ?verify/?reset) lingered in the address bar
after login. Strip the query string on auth (the logged-in app reads nothing from
the URL); Welcome still reads its params while logged out. stripUrlParams now
preserves history.state so it's safe to call after the in-app page stamp.
The Messages UI trusted only the per-device IndexedDB key, so if the server's
key record was gone (deleted, DB-restored, admin-reset) while a stale private
key lingered in the browser, the app looked 'unlocked' but no one could be
messaged and no setup was offered. Add useKeyState (server 'configured' AND
local unlock): show setup when the server has no key (setup overwrites the stale
local key), unlock when it has one this device hasn't opened, ready otherwise.
ChatThread is now self-contained. Also fix the header title on the Messages and
Notifications pages (was falling through to 'Channel manager').
The live-message push now carries both parties, so an incoming message opens
that conversation's dock window if it's closed, or flashes it once if it's
already open (expanded or minimised, without disturbing the minimised state) —
only for messages from someone else, never your own echo.
Dock state (open windows + minimised state) is persisted per user, so a reload
restores exactly what was open, minimised, or closed.
Move messaging out of the notification center into its own left-nav module
(own page, own unread badge), so a reload returns to it and notifications stay
separate. Add a Messenger-style floating dock (bottom-right): pop a conversation
out from the page, keep chatting across navigation, minimise (rollup) or close.
- Messages is now a routed page; NotificationsPanel reverts to inbox-only and the
nav badge no longer mixes in messages.
- Extract shared KeyGate + ChatThread (used by both the page and dock windows);
e2ee exposes a shared unlock subscription so page and dock agree.
- ChatDock (always mounted for human users) owns the app-wide live-message
subscription and per-device key restore. EN/HU/DE strings.
A Messages tab in the notification center (hidden for demo): set up secure
messaging with a passphrase (key generated + wrapped in-browser via WebCrypto,
stored non-extractable per device), unlock on other devices, then chat with
end-to-end encrypted, live-delivered messages. The server-authored Siftlode
welcome is readable before any key setup.
- lib/e2ee.ts: ECDH P-256 + HKDF + AES-GCM, PBKDF2-wrapped key, IndexedDB.
- lib/messagesSocket.ts: WebSocket client with backoff reconnect.
- Messages.tsx: key gate, conversation list with decrypted previews, directory,
thread with client-side decrypt + encrypt-on-send. Unread feeds the nav badge.
EN/HU/DE strings.
Render only the visible rows via @tanstack/react-virtual (useVirtualizer
against the app's <main> scroll container, per-row dynamic measurement),
so the DOM no longer accumulates every loaded card. A ResizeObserver keeps
the responsive grid column count in sync and chunks cards into virtualized
rows; the list view virtualizes single-card rows. Infinite scroll now
triggers from the virtual range and pages via next_cursor instead of
offset; feed/count drops its unused paging args.
Replace the leftover 'subfeed' name across logger names + log_config,
frontend localStorage keys, Postgres user/db/volume defaults in the
compose files, .env.example, config.py, backup/restore scripts and the
README. Pure rename; no behavioural change. localStorage keys move from
subfeed.* to siftlode.* (one-time UI-state reset is acceptable).
- /api/me exposes instance-wide google_enabled. The onboarding nudge no longer auto-opens, and
Settings hides the YouTube-access section + the 'Connect Google' option, when the instance has
no Google OAuth configured (e.g. an email+password-only self-host). A linked account still shows
its 'Connected' status.
