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.
The 3 landing screenshots were 2.3 MB of PNG (feed.png alone 1.6 MB, decoded
at 2400x1350 for a ~400px slot) — the biggest LCP/transfer cost on the public
page. Re-encoded to WebP capped at 1600px (~284 KB total, feed 91% smaller).
Also set Cache-Control: content-hashed /assets/* are immutable for a year,
other SPA-root static files (welcome images, favicon, robots) get a 7-day TTL;
index.html stays no-cache. Register image/webp+avif mimetypes so FileResponse
serves the right Content-Type. Lighthouse (dev): Perf 80->93, LCP 1.8s->1.2s.
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.
Tighten the hero + feature cards to punchy one-liners and surface current
capabilities: swap the standalone channel-manager card for live YouTube
search (folding tagging into the readable card). Regenerate the three
preview images (feed, channels, playlists) from a rich real account instead
of the sparse demo, so the landing shows what a full instance looks like.
EN/HU/DE.
- Serve real files at the SPA root (e.g. /welcome/*.png, favicon) from the built app — the
landing screenshots were only ever shown by the Vite dev server, never in production.
- Add the Channel-manager screenshot; the two secondary previews are smaller thumbnails that
open in a custom full-size lightbox (fit-to-viewport, Esc/backdrop/✕ to close).
- Drop a suspended/deleted user to the login page on the next 401 (and poll the session only
while signed in, so the public login page no longer flickers); 'suspended' and 'account
deleted' confirmation banners; strip redirect query params for a clean address bar.
Real screenshots from the shared demo account (neutral, repo-safe — no personal
data), captured via headless Edge + CDP with the demo session cookie injected.
Fills the feed (hero) and playlists preview slots on the landing page; the channels
slot stays a graceful labelled placeholder (the demo has no subscriptions).
