The header's sync indicator spun "fetching history" whenever any channel
still lacked full history — i.e. perpetually, even when the scheduler was
idle between its periodic runs. It now spins only while a channel-sync job
(backfill or RSS poll) is actually running; otherwise pending deep-history
work shows as the calm, static "N without full history" link, and recent
work queued for the next run shows a static "N queued". This makes the
header coherent with the Scheduler dashboard's live state.
Backend exposes running_job_ids() from the scheduler activity and a derived
sync_active flag on /api/sync/my-status.
The dashboard now renders a progress bar for any running job — determinate
when counts are reported, an indeterminate "working" sliver otherwise — so a
scheduled run is as visible as a manual one (progress was never manual-only;
the wiring is shared, but only some jobs reported and the display gated on
counts).
Poll faster (1.5s) while any job runs, easing back to 4s when idle, derived
from the freshest data by react-query's functional refetchInterval. The
earlier React-state approach to this stalled the live updates (the row froze
on the first sampled value); useLiveQuery now accepts a function of the data.
Trilingual phase labels for the newly-reporting jobs.
The "Subscribed on YouTube" inbox entry now names the channel and offers
two convenience links that survive a reload (driven by the typed payload,
not the live callback): "Channel manager" (jumps to the manager focused on
that channel) and "Open on YouTube". Wires the panel to the app's
focus-channel navigation; trilingual strings.
Add a "Discover from playlists" tab to the Channel manager that lists
channels appearing in the user's playlists they don't subscribe to, with
a one-click Subscribe.
- GET /api/channels/discovery: local join (playlist_items -> videos ->
channels) minus the user's subscriptions and their own channel. Enriches
stub channels' metadata up front (title/thumbnail/subscriber count via the
API key) so the user can judge a channel before subscribing; videos are
not pulled (the scheduler picks those up).
- POST /api/channels/{id}/subscribe: write-scope gated, subscriptions.insert
+ local Subscription with the returned resource id.
- YouTubeClient.insert_subscription / get_my_channel_id.
- users.yt_channel_id (migration 0019) caches the user's own channel id so
discovery can exclude it.
- Frontend: ChannelDiscovery DataTable, Channels tab toggle (persisted),
api methods, trilingual strings. Subscribe ships a typed notification
payload (ChannelSubscribedMeta) for the inbox to act on.
The note claimed 'leaving the page with unsaved changes asks first', but the
beforeunload prompt was deliberately removed (native dialog; we use in-app
ones). Only in-app section switching is guarded — reword to say exactly that.
- Render only the active settings tab instead of stacking all four in one grid
cell. The stack forced the whole panel to the tallest tab's (Account) height,
leaving the short tabs (Appearance/Notifications) with dead space and a
pointless scrollbar. Now the panel sizes to its actual content.
- Remove the beforeunload guard: it could only raise the browser's own native
'Reload site?' prompt (no in-app dialog possible there), which we avoid.
Unsaved prefs are local-only and revert to the saved server baseline on the
next load, so a reload/close loses nothing. The in-app confirm still guards
in-app navigation and browser Back.
Settings-page prefs (theme/scheme/dark-mode/list-view/perf/hints/font + the
notification settings) were each auto-saved to the server on every toggle via
fire-and-forget savePrefs().catch(() => {}) — silent on failure, and no
positive confirmation on success, so the user had zero feedback either way.
Make them a draft instead: changes apply locally for instant preview but
persist only on an explicit Save (or revert on Discard). App owns the live
draft + the last-saved baseline, computes dirty, and exposes a controller to
the panel. The panel shows a Save/Discard bar with 'Saving…' → 'Settings
saved' (auto-clearing) / 'Couldn't save' feedback. Leaving the page with
unsaved changes prompts a confirm (in-app nav + browser Back), and a
beforeunload guards reload/close. savePrefs is now idempotent so the Save
survives a transient gateway blip; failures surface via the connection-lost
status. Language & sidebar layout stay instant (edited outside this page).
New i18n keys settings.save.* / settings.unsaved.* in EN/HU/DE.
The 'Marked watched' / 'Hidden' notices (and resolving a stale notice on
unwatch/unhide) fired synchronously, before the api.setState call resolved.
When the write failed — e.g. the API was unreachable — the optimistic card
override was rolled back in .catch, but the notice had already been emitted
and lingered, falsely claiming a change that never persisted.
Move all three branches into the .then() so the notice is produced only once
the server has actually applied the change; on failure the card reverts and
nothing is announced (the connection-lost status already explains why).
The notice promised 'this will clear once it's back', but nothing ever
removed it: the toast auto-hid on a 15s timer (not on recovery) and the
v0.9.0 unified inbox kept every notify() in persistent history, so the
notice lingered there forever.
Model it as a single live status instead: one sticky, transient (never
persisted) notice while the server is unreachable, removed the moment any
request reaches the server again. Adds a 'transient' notification flag
(sticky toast + excluded from history so a reload can't orphan it) and
replaces the throttled-toast helper with a connectivity lost/restored pair.
i18n the strings (errors.offline.*) in EN/HU/DE — they were hardcoded English.
Retry GET (and opt-in idempotent writes: setState/clearState/saveProgress)
once on a fresh connection after a network error or 502/503/504, masking a
transient proxy<->upstream keepalive reset. If it still fails, treat
502/503/504 as the soft self-clearing 'Connection lost' toast instead of the
blocking error modal — a gateway that can't reach the app means 'restarting',
not a request the app refused. Genuine 500s keep the modal.
Fold the client-side transient bell into the inbox page so there's a single
notification indicator. The inbox now has two groups — "System" (durable,
server-backed) and "Activity" (client-side events with their Unhide/Unwatch/
Find-in-feed actions) — and the nav badge sums both unread counts. The separate
rail bell (NotificationCenter) is removed.
Activity items get a per-item clear (X) alongside the global Clear all. Unhiding
or unwatching a video from anywhere — a card, the toast's Undo, or the inbox —
now quietly resolves the original "Hidden/Watched X" entry (no duplicate "Unhidden
X" toast, no stale entry with a dead action), via a new resolveVideo store helper.
Expose the maintenance job's rolling re-validation batch (videos re-checked per
run) as an admin control on the Scheduler dashboard, stored in app_state
(migration 0018; NULL = the env/config default). The job reads the effective
value each run via a state helper, clamped to a sane range. Trilingual.
Show the unread count as a number on the collapsed nav rail (not just a dot), and
invert the badge colours on the active row so it isn't an accent-on-accent red blob;
centre the number on the circle.
Add per-job "Run now" buttons and a "Start all now" button to the admin Scheduler
dashboard (admin-gated endpoints). Triggers run the job in a background thread
independent of its interval, refusing a concurrent run (409). While running, the
long jobs (maintenance, enrich, backfill, shorts) report live progress through a
decoupled contextvar sink, shown as a progress bar on the job row via the existing
4s poll. A manually-triggered run posts a completion notification to the triggering
admin's inbox (scheduled runs stay silent to avoid spam); the inbox renders the
"scheduler" type trilingually from type+data. While here, give the maintenance job
its missing dashboard label/description in all three languages.
Bump VERSION to 0.9.0 and add the user-facing release notes for the durable
notification inbox (P1) and the maintenance/validation job that retires videos
that can no longer be played.
Add a server-backed notification center that coexists with the client-side
transient bell: a per-user `notifications` table (type/title/body/data JSON/
read/dismissed), a `/api/me/notifications` CRUD API (list, unread_count, read,
read_all, dismiss, clear), and a left-nav inbox module with a live unread badge
polled via useLiveQuery. Known types render trilingual text from type+data
(English stored text is the fallback); read rows are trimmed past a soft cap.
Also adds the schema the maintenance job builds on: videos.list?part=status
columns (embeddable/privacy_status/upload_status) and the validation lifecycle
columns (last_checked_at, unavailable_since, unavailable_reason).
Page-id validation is centralized in one PAGES source of truth (isPage) so the
new page survives reload without a second allowlist to keep in sync.
- Channel-row tags show only what's attached; a '+' opens a per-channel picker. Clicking a tag
filters the feed by it; a 'Your tags' sidebar widget makes that filter visible/clearable.
- Tag manager dialog (add/rename/delete; delete only confirms when the tag is in use), reachable
from the Channel manager and the feed sidebar; hovering a tag's count lists its channels, each a
link that focuses it in the Channel manager (DataTable gains an external filter input).
- Video cards get a reset action that clears all watch state (incl. an in-progress position).
- api.req() now raises the error dialog on 5xx and 400/409/422 with the server's reason.
- Duplicate-tag create/rename hit the uq_tags_user_name constraint and 500'd; now caught and
returned as a clear 409 ('You already have a tag named …').
- New global error dialog (errorDialog store + ErrorDialog modal) for definitive server refusals;
the api layer wiring + mount land with the rest of the round.
- Modal now keeps a stack so ESC dismisses only the top modal — an error over the tag editor
closes the error and leaves the editor open.
- Add Last upload, total Length and a Normal/Shorts/Live breakdown, computed on read in the
existing grouped query (~35ms over the full catalog — measured, so no denormalization).
- Subscribers shown compact (919K), since the YouTube API already rounds them.
- Tag cell now shows only the tags actually attached to a channel; a '+' opens a per-channel
picker to attach/detach, instead of listing every user tag on every row.
Columns auto-size to their content (table-layout: auto) via a per-column 'nowrap' flag;
headers never wrap. Replaces hand-tuned fixed widths so values like 'N / S / L' no longer
wrap, and callers give a min-width only where a column must not collapse.
Replace the stacked card rows with the reusable DataTable: sortable columns, in-header
Channel/Tags filters, status chips + page controls in one row, wider layout. Tag toggle
is now optimistic (no full refetch). Sync column collapses to one 'fully synced' chip;
Actions column carries hide/unsubscribe + a backfill control (admin reset / per-user
full-history opt-in). Channel status filter persists across reloads.
POST /api/channels/{id}/reset-backfill (admin-only): clear the channel's backfill
markers, re-opt into deep backfill and re-run its recent pull now — a re-fetch-from-
scratch trigger regardless of current sync state. Idempotent (videos upsert by id).
Generic client-side table: per-column sort, in-header filters (text/select/multi),
built-in pagination with a user-set page size (incl. All) and an editable jump-to-page
box. Sort/filter/page/size persist to localStorage (survive F5). Falls back to a compact
card list below md. Intended for reuse across modules (channels now, playlists next).
The Settings tab was local React state, so F5 always snapped back to Appearance.
Persist it in localStorage (siftlode.settingsTab), validated against the tab list.
Toasts rose top-right, far from the notification bell which now lives bottom-left.
Anchor them bottom-left inside the content column (clears the sidebar at any width),
newest nearest the bell. Add a ~50% white border in dark mode so they stand out off
the conventional top-right spot.
- Split the rail into a content group (Feed/Channels/Playlists) and an admin
group (Stats/Scheduler) separated by a divider (system group hidden for non-admins).
- Move the language switcher, About and notification bell out of the top header
into an icon cluster above Settings (horizontal expanded, vertical collapsed).
Their popovers portal to <body> and anchor right + above the button, escaping the
nav's backdrop-filter. About is removed from the account popover (now in the cluster).
- LanguageSwitcher/NotificationCenter gain a 'rail' variant for the above.
- Also relocate the Toaster mount into the (now relative) content column.
Each day now has a full-height track behind a solid accent fill, so low-usage
days no longer render as a near-invisible sliver that only stood out on hover.
- Channel name: middle-click opens the channel's YouTube page in a new tab
(left-click still opens the in-app detail) plus an explicit external-link icon.
- recent/full sync badges show a check icon when the state is reached.
- New i18n key channels.row.openOnYouTube (HU/EN/DE).
The in-app player marks a video watched when it reaches the end, firing
POST /videos/{id}/state at the same instant as a progress checkpoint. The
progress endpoint deletes the 'new' video_states row near the end, so the
concurrent state UPDATE matched 0 rows and raised StaleDataError -> 500. The
watched status was never persisted (and Feed swallowed the error), so the
video stayed in the unwatched feed even after a refresh.
- set_video_state: atomic INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (uq_user_video) DO UPDATE for
watched/hidden, immune to a concurrent delete; tolerate StaleDataError on the
'new' branch and in the progress endpoint.
- PlayerModal: skip the redundant near-end progress checkpoint when we just
auto-marked watched, removing the self-inflicted race.
- Feed: drop the optimistic override if the server rejects the change, so a
failed request can't leave a card phantom-hidden.
Each job shows a tooltip (what it does + what happens if it stops), a status
dot legend + per-dot tooltips clarify the colours, and the interval is inline-
editable (pencil -> number -> save) wired to the new PATCH endpoint. HU/EN/DE.
New admin Scheduler page (left-nav entry) with a live, self-refreshing view of
job activity, queued work and quota. Polling is factored into a reusable
useLiveQuery hook (pauses when the tab is unfocused) that the notification bell
and future yt-dlp job queue will reuse instead of re-implementing.
The fallback used a translucent background and left the iframe mounted, so
YouTube's own 'Video unavailable' screen bled through and overlapped our
message. Use a solid background and hide the iframe while the error shows.
The in-app IFrame player showed YouTube's bare 'Video unavailable' screen
with no way out when a video couldn't be embedded (auto-generated Topic
art-tracks disable embedding -> error 101/150; removed/private -> 100).
Catch the IFrame onError and overlay a clear message + 'Open on YouTube'
button, with a tailored note for embedding-disabled videos.
The shared-account warning was a requiresInteraction toast that re-fired
on every reload. Replace it with a permanent, non-dismissible banner (like
the version banner) shown above the content while in the demo account.
Live streams and upcoming/premiere videos have no fixed duration, so the
playlist row and video card left a blank where the runtime usually sits.
Show a LIVE (red) or upcoming badge instead, so it's clear the missing
time is by design, not a sync gap.
The shared demo account no longer hits YouTube affordances: the onboarding
wizard never opens (or renders) for it, the empty-feed prompt nudges into
the shared library instead of the connect wizard, and the browser-facing
/auth/upgrade redirects the demo home instead of returning a raw 403 JSON.
Login page quietly probes /auth/demo (debounced) as a valid email is
typed/pasted and reloads into the app on a match — no visible button.
Demo sessions default to the whole library, get a one-time shared-account
warning, never see the YouTube-connect onboarding/access UI or sync
actions, and admins get a demo whitelist + reset panel in Settings.
Bump VERSION to 0.4.1 and add the 0.4.1 release-notes entry (feed view/content-type chips
above the videos, key+direction sort, exact view count + upload date on cards/player).
Mirror the card change in PlayerModal: append the precise locale-aware date after the
relative time, for both the active video and a linked (navigated) video's stats.
