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.
One Save/Discard bar with an inline (Settings card) and floating (Config page)
variant, replacing the two near-identical hand-rolled bars + their state machine.
components/ui/form.tsx replaces the per-panel copies:
- Switch — was duplicated in SettingsPanel (Switch) + ConfigPanel (Toggle) +
Sidebar (inline labeled toggle).
- Section (with a card variant) — was in SettingsPanel + Stats (plain) and
AdminUsers (glass card).
- SettingRow + HintLabel — the label+hint+control row was identical in SettingsPanel + Stats.
No visual change intended (Sidebar's toggle gains the standard knob shadow).
- 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).
TimestampMixin (created_at) + UpdatedAtMixin (updated_at) replace the repeated
column blocks across 9 + 3 models. Models that index created_at or default it
Python-side keep their own column on purpose. Verified zero schema drift via an
identical alembic-check diff before/after.
- feed_columns() is the single feed-row projection, consumed by both /feed and the
playlist-detail query (was copy-pasted, drift risk on every new column).
- _replace_items_from_youtube() dedups the YouTube playlist-mirror block shared by
sync_user_playlists and repull_playlist.
- _next_playlist_position/_next_item_position/_add_item replace the append-position
idiom (x4) and the exists-then-insert blocks (x2).
- quota.measured() context manager folds the before/after units diff that the
manual sync routes each re-spelled (also makes quota_remaining_today consistent).
- sync pause/resume now use Depends(admin_user) instead of inline role checks.
- is_messageable_user() unifies the 'real, active, non-suspended human' rule that
was encoded three ways (WS auth, send recipient, and the SQL _messageable()).
- app/utils.py: shared valid_email() + now_utc() (one email regex, was duplicated
in auth.py and admin.py with a looser "@"-in check elsewhere).
- security.hash_token(): one SHA-256 token hasher (was duplicated in auth.py + state.py).
- auth.admin_user dependency + count_admins() helper, replacing the inline role
checks and the last-admin count query repeated across admin.py/me.py/tags.py.
Watch later became a built-in playlist, so "saved" is no longer a VideoState
status — the scan matched nothing and under-counted users impacted by a video
removal. The playlist loop already covers Watch later, so impact is now correct.
Route the local _now through the shared utils.now_utc.
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 admin access-requests notice was issued from the on-user-load effect (keyed
on user id), so it only re-resolved on a fresh load — it lingered until F5 after
an approval dropped the pending count to 0. Move it to its own effect keyed on
the pending count, so approving/denying (which refetches /api/me) clears or
re-counts the notice live.
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 access-requests notice's Review link navigated to the Users page but the
persisted tab (often Demo) loaded instead. Pre-select the access tab before
navigating (focusAccessRequestsTab writes the persisted-tab key, which the page
reads on its fresh mount).
New youtube_api_proxy setting (env fallback + admin Config UI, env YOUTUBE_API_PROXY):
when set, the YouTubeClient routes all its httpx traffic through that HTTP(S) proxy.
Lets a dynamic-IP host send API calls through a fixed-IP host (e.g. the server over
private tunnel) so an IP-restricted API key keeps working. Empty = direct.
Eight confirmations stated a bare fact without saying what they acted on. Pass
the entity through the mutation variables and interpolate it: channel
unsubscribe/reset name the channel, whitelist/demo-whitelist adds name the
email, tag delete names the tag, and playlist revert/push name the playlist.
EN/HU/DE.
The ring-based flash relied on ring-accent and a CSS transition that never
restarted on a repeat message, so it was effectively invisible. Replace it with
a keyed inset-glow overlay (animation replays on every flash counter bump, and
inset shadow isn't clipped by the window's overflow-hidden) — flashes whether
the window is expanded, freshly auto-opened, or minimised.
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.
Private user-to-user messages are end-to-end encrypted: the server only ever
stores ciphertext + iv and acts as a key directory (public keys) plus an opaque
store for each user's private key, wrapped client-side with a passphrase the
server never sees — so not even an admin can read a conversation. A separate
kind=system message (plaintext, no sender) powers a server-authored Siftlode
welcome shown on first open, reusable later for announcements.
- models: rework Message (kind, nullable sender/body, ciphertext+iv) + MessageKey;
migrations 0026 (table) + 0027 (E2EE rework).
- routes/messages.py: key directory/blob endpoints, ciphertext send, conversations
+ threads (system + user), lazy welcome, all gated by require_human.
- realtime.py: in-process WebSocket connection registry; /ws delivers sent
messages to a user's open tabs instantly (sync-callable push, single-process).
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 deep-OFFSET paging (which scans-and-discards skipped rows on the
233k-row catalog and shifts/duplicates rows as the scheduler ingests mid-
scroll) with stable keyset pagination over an opaque cursor.
A single sort registry drives both the ORDER BY and a generic, NULL-aware
keyset WHERE so they can never drift, with Video.id as the unique final
tiebreaker. Covers every sort: newest/oldest, views, duration, title,
subscribers (joined), priority (coalesced multi-key) and the seeded
shuffle. The response now returns next_cursor instead of offset.
Add docker-compose.home.yml: the app + Postgres run on strong, always-on home
hardware (nested Docker, apparmor:unconfined, Postgres tuned to keep the catalog
hot in cache), and the server reverse-proxies the hostname to it over a private
network link. This moves the heavy feed/count/facet scans off the server while
keeping it as the public TLS front door (the OAuth redirect URL is unchanged).
Retire the the server Forgejo Actions autodeploy (.forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml): the app
no longer runs on the server, so deploys go to the server from the dispatcher instead.
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).
It duplicated the developer-machine quality gate (tsc + npm build + compileall),
ran post-merge on main (not a pre-merge gate), and would put the heavy frontend
build on the server on every push — the very load deploy.yml deliberately
keeps on the dev box. The local pre-ship checks are the CI in this setup.
On a push to main the server-hosted runner SSHes back to the host (forced-command
key, docker bridge gateway, port 2222) and runs deploy/deploy.sh — replacing the
2-minute systemd poller. Build/publish still happens on the dev machine before push.
- /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.
- docker-compose.selfhost.yml pulls the published image (forge.b1fr0st.eu/peter/siftlode) with a
bundled Postgres — no source build on the operator's host.
- install.sh / install.ps1 generate the four required secrets (.env: POSTGRES_PASSWORD, SECRET_KEY,
a valid Fernet TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY, OAUTH_REDIRECT_URL), start the stack, and print the first-run
setup-wizard URL. Everything else is configured in the web wizard.
- docs/self-hosting.md: the copy-paste playbook (get the files, run the installer, finish in the
wizard, optional Google/SMTP, HTTPS/reverse-proxy, updates + backups).
- Verified end-to-end: a fresh install from the published image boots into setup mode and serves
the wizard.
- Multi-step first-run wizard (intro → admin → Google → SMTP → finish), shown by App while the
instance reports configured=false; the one-time token comes from the setup URL (?token=) and is
sent as X-Setup-Token on every step. Google/SMTP steps appear only when secrets can be stored.
- App holds the 'me' query until setup status is known (so it doesn't 503 against the setup lock);
a missing/invalid token shows a 'use the link from the logs' screen. EN/HU/DE.
- POST /api/setup/admin (create the first admin: active+verified+admin), /config (persist any
registry-backed settings — Google creds, SMTP, quota…), /test-email, and /finish (mark
configured + invalidate the token). All behind require_setup (valid token AND not configured).
- GET /api/setup/info reports secrets_manageable so the wizard hides the Google/SMTP secret steps
on a box without TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY.
