ffmpeg post-steps have no byte-progress, so instead of a silent 'Processing' the row now names
the current step (Merging / Extracting audio / Embedding thumbnail / Removing sponsors / Writing
metadata) with an indeterminate pulse. Byte-progress phases (video/audio) keep the % bar.
i18n en/hu/de.
The progress bar looked broken (95% -> 5% -> recount) because yt-dlp downloads the video and
audio streams separately (each 0->100%) then merges — with no indication of which step is
running. Now:
- worker labels the phase from the stream codecs (video / audio) and via a postprocessor hook
(merging / processing), so the user sees what's happening
- DownloadCenter shows the phase as the status and renders an indeterminate pulse (no bogus %)
during merge/processing; phase i18n en/hu/de
- yt-dlp retries (3) + fragment_retries (5) so transient network blips self-heal instead of
failing the job (seen once as a DNS 'No address associated with hostname' error)
Verified: phase transitions queued -> video -> processing -> done.
Add an accent-tinted 'Free and open source' band between the app preview and the feature grid
— a short line about reading the code / self-hosting / filing an issue, linking to the public
repo. The compact footer link stays. Trilingual.
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).
A tab that never explicitly picked an account rode the session's default, so when ANOTHER
tab changed that default (adding or switching an account), this tab silently swapped identity
on its next refetch — the account chip updated while the feed/saved-views lagged until reload.
- Pin every tab to whatever account it first loaded as (write the sessionStorage override on
load when none is set), so its requests always carry its own account header and cross-tab
default changes can't reach it.
- 'Add account' now clears this tab's pin before the Google redirect, so on return the tab
adopts the freshly-added account (and pins that) — the current tab switches to it while other
tabs keep their own, matching the Gmail add-account model.
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.
- Filter header: show the active-filter count as a compact number pill instead of
'{n} active' text, and keep the action buttons on one line (shrink-0 + nowrap) so
nothing truncates or wraps in a narrow / zoomed-in sidebar (e.g. 125% browser zoom).
- Sync status: anchor the 'all synced' state with a small check icon so it no longer
reads as orphaned text at the top of the nav rail.
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.
The icon-only rail switcher now shows the active language code as a small corner badge,
so the current language reads at a glance without opening the menu.
- A clearer 'Admin' section header (thicker centred rule when collapsed) above the
admin-only modules (Scheduler/Configuration/Users), replacing the faint hairline.
- A small role chip (admin/user/demo) next to the account name — an avatar-corner dot
when the rail is collapsed.
- 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.
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.
The "Filters N active" badge and Clear all only tracked the sidebar facets
(tags/show/sort/content/date/channel), so the toolbar-level Source and the
Mine/Library scope neither bumped the count nor reset — inconsistent with
filtersToParams (which treats them as filters, so Save view/Share already
captured them).
- activeCount now includes Library scope and a non-default Source; "relevance"
(auto-applied while searching, no manual option) is excluded from the sort
count so typing a query no longer inflates the badge.
- Clear all resets scope back to "my" (Mine) and drops Source to organic,
alongside the facets. The search q is intentionally preserved.
- The header search box gets a clear (X) button when it holds a value, so the
search has its own reset (clearing it reverts the relevance sort to newest).
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.
A live YouTube search was always dropped on reload so it could never
re-spend quota. But the default scrape source costs no quota, so there's
no reason to bounce the user back to the feed — they can stay on their
results.
Feed now stamps history.state._ytScrape=true once a search resolves via
the scrape source; App restores _yt on reload only when that flag is set
(and re-runs the search, which is free). An api-source search is left
unmarked and still drops to the feed on reload, since re-fetching it would
cost ~100 units. The flag is cleared when a new search starts (Feed
re-stamps it once the new results' source is known).
Clarified per intent: the results-count selector controls how many results each fetch gathers,
and Load more pulls another batch of that size (restored). The infinite query already threads the
count into every page, so Load more honours the selected size. Added a tooltip on the selector.
- 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.
The per-row tag '+' menu always opened downward (top-full) and clipped against the scroll
container for rows near the viewport bottom. Measure the button on open and flip it upward
(bottom-full) when there isn't room below but there is above; cap its height with an internal
scroll so a long tag list can't overflow either way.
The card title is line-clamped to 2 lines; measure overflow (ResizeObserver, re-checks on
responsive resize) and set the native title attribute with the full text only when it's actually
truncated, so hovering reveals the rest without a redundant tooltip on short titles.
- Channels manager: prominent channel-name search box and the 'Your tags' chips are now
clickable to filter the table by tag (replacing the hidden per-column DataTable popovers).
Both filter client-side over the status-filtered list; a focus-channel intent seeds the
search, the reset intent clears both.
- Feed 'Your tags' sidebar: count user tags in the facet endpoint (the 'other' category) and
make the widget contextual like language/topic — counts reflect the current filter and
zero-count chips hide (e.g. a source=search view with no tagged channels shows 'no matching
tags' instead of the full static list). EN/HU/DE searchPlaceholder.
Ad-block annoyance lists (e.g. Brave Shields) hide floating corner buttons via attribute
selectors like [aria-label="Back to top"] / [title=...]. Drop both attributes and provide the
accessible name with a visually-hidden child span instead, which those selectors can't match.
A reusable BackToTop fades in once the active page's <main> is scrolled past ~600px and
smooth-scrolls it back to the top. Rendered once at the App root, portaled to <body> for
viewport-fixed placement (bottom-right, below the chat dock), and re-binds to the live <main> on
navigation (page or channel change) so it works on every scrollable page incl. the channel page.
EN/HU/DE.
Collapse the feed toolbar's two rows into one: the video count sits right after the Source
dropdown, and the sort controls move onto the same row, pushed right with ml-auto (wraps
gracefully on narrow widths). Applies everywhere the Feed renders (main feed + channel page).
Instead of a full-bleed banner, inset it with a margin and rounded corners so it reads as a
contained card; the avatar overlaps its bottom-left. Airier and more designed than edge-to-edge.
- Move the channel stats (subscribers / videos / views / joined) onto one meta line beside the
handle under the name, dropping the separate stats row.
- Cap the banner at 150px tall so it no longer dominates the page; the wide YouTube-style crop
is kept. Net: the video grid starts much higher.
Subscribers and Channel-priority sorts are meaningless when the feed is scoped to one channel
(both are constant across its videos), so hide them there via a channelScoped flag on Feed.
The main feed keeps all sorts.
The stored bannerExternalUrl is the full 16:9 banner template at a low default size (512x288),
so object-contain showed the whole padded image tiny and centered. Now request a crisp wide
version (=w1707) and object-cover the desktop safe-area band (centre 2560x423, ~6:1) at full
width — matching YouTube's banner crop.
- F5 on a channel page kept bouncing to the feed — the App init dropped history.state._chan
like the (intentionally non-replayed) YouTube search. Now channelView restores from _chan on
load and the stamp preserves it, so a reload stays on the channel page.
- The banner was stretched/cropped (bg-cover). Render it as an <img object-contain> with a
capped height, letterboxed on the surface colour, so its real aspect ratio is kept.
- The round avatar's top was clipped by the banner: the banner's position:relative container
painted above the static identity row. Give that row relative z-10 so the overlapping avatar
sits on top.
Refetch the channel detail after the auto-explore ingest so `explored` flips true and the
"Exploring" badge appears immediately — the GET that drove the first render predated the
explore that just created the ExploredChannel row.
Two bugs made clicking the channel name in the video modal just close the player:
- the second PlayerModal mount (main feed path) was missing onOpenChannel, so the handler
hit its no-op early return;
- opening the channel synchronously pushed the _chan history entry, which the player's own
useBackToClose teardown (history.back on unmount) then immediately popped. Now the open is
deferred to a one-shot popstate listener that fires AFTER that teardown, so the channel
entry lands at the feed level. Verified: player → channel name → channel page; Back → feed
(player does not reappear).
The PlayerModal channel name now opens our channel page (closing the player first); a
small external-link icon beside it keeps the open-on-YouTube behaviour. Threaded
onOpenChannel from Feed into both PlayerModal mounts.
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 relevance auto-select ran in a Feed effect that raced per-keystroke query
updates, so fast typing left the sort on the default. Move the switch into the
header input's onChange so it's set atomically with the query (only overriding
the default newest sort); the Feed effect now only reverts to newest when the
term is cleared. 'Back to feed' also sets relevance explicitly.
Frontend for the Mine search finds + relevance search:
- The Source filter (organic / include search / search-only) now shows in Mine
scope too, not just the Library.
- Returning from a YouTube search via 'Back to feed' switches the Source filter
to 'search' so your just-found videos show in the feed you land on (filtered
by the kept term).
- New 'Relevance' sort, offered while a search term is present and auto-selected
when you start searching (reverts to newest when you clear it). EN/HU/DE.
Adds player-modal shortcuts and keeps keyboard focus on the modal (not the
cross-origin player iframe) on open and on player-ready, so they work until you
click into YouTube's native controls:
- F: toggle fullscreen (the player stage element, so the volume flash stays
visible; a :fullscreen CSS rule drops the 16:9 letterbox). Esc in fullscreen
exits fullscreen only, without also closing the modal.
- Space: play/pause (ignored while a button/input is focused).
- Scroll wheel over the video: volume up/down with an auto-fading volume-bar
overlay. A transparent interaction layer over the iframe catches the wheel
(the cross-origin iframe otherwise swallows it) and maps click to play/pause;
it leaves the bottom strip uncovered so YouTube's native control bar (seek /
settings / captions / fullscreen) stays usable, and is hidden on an embed
error so the 'Open on YouTube' CTA stays clickable.
i18n shortcutsHint EN/HU/DE.
The live-search results view had no browser-history entry of its own, so a
player opened over the results sat directly on the feed page entry. Pressing
Back (e.g. the mouse back button over the player) could pop past both the
player and the search in one step, bouncing from the search results to the
normal feed instead of just closing the player.
The search is now a feed sub-view that owns a history entry (history.state._yt):
entering a search pushes it, the popstate handler derives ytSearch from it, and
"Back to feed" pops it. Back now steps player -> search -> feed: the first Back
closes only the player (results stay), the second returns to the normal feed.
A reload drops any stale _yt so the first Back can't resurrect a gone search.
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.
A live search ingests new catalog videos, but the normal feed query was disabled during
search mode and kept its pre-search cache — so 'Back to feed' showed the stale (often empty)
result until a manual reload. Drop the feed / feed-count / facets caches when leaving search
mode so the feed re-fetches fresh and immediately reflects the just-ingested videos.
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.
Switching accounts does location.reload(), which preserves history.state — so the new
account re-mounted the Messages module from the previous account's _sub sub-view, whose
partnerId belongs to the OLD identity (often the new account's own id → an empty
self-thread). Symptom: after switching to the recipient you land on a blank thread and
the just-received message never shows (F5 keeps history.state); only going back to the
list and reopening the real conversation works.
Fix: (1) strip _sub/_ov from history.state before the switch reload so the new account
starts at the module root; (2) guard Messages so a thread view with partnerId === meId
falls back to the conversation list (can't message yourself).
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.
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).
