Rendering ownership holds throughout: every piece of server data is
templ-rendered; htmx swaps partials; the only TS is the Add-Feed modal
toggle + error surfacing (pure client-local state, bundled via
web/src/podcasts.ts with automatic bundle-hash stamping).
Sidebar: /podcasts nav entry (D13, between Series and Collections),
gated by a ShowPodcastsNav flag resolved centrally in
getTemplateUserWithTheme (one indexed COUNT — same class of
per-request lookup as the live-user guard). New 'podcast' icon.
/podcasts: header + Add Feed modal (htmx post → HX-Redirect to the
feed page; inline error surfacing on failure), subscription-scoped
search + facet bar (host/tag/language — server-side GET filters, no
JS), grid cards with download counts / new-episodes / complete /
explicit badges. Empty states for no-library (admin creates it first)
and no-subscriptions.
Feed detail: hero (artwork, host/publisher, tags, fetch state), action
row — Download All, Refresh, ORDER SELECTOR (D5 override), serial
one-click oldest-first suggestion (never silent), auto-download policy
select (D6), Unsubscribe (files retained), admin Remove Feed — gap
banner (D8 count), and the EPISODE LIST with the full lifecycle inline
(D8/D19): pending greyed + Download button (every non-downloaded
episode has one), queued/downloading pulse, failed RED + reason text +
Retry (same endpoint). The list is a self-refreshing partial: re-fetch
on the podcast:changed HX-Trigger and polls every 4s ONLY while the
server says downloads are active (it renders the polling variant).
API endpoints grew HX awareness: 204 + HX-Trigger podcast:changed (or
HX-Redirect for add/unsubscribe/remove) — the sanctioned Go-handler
response channels; JSON callers keep JSON. AddFeed result exposes the
fetch-error text for the redirect.
Dates render in the requesting user's timezone (D17) via
utils.FormatTimeInTimezone; episodes play through the existing
/readers/{id} audio reader (episodes ARE audiobook items — no new
player code day one). CSP tripwire (templates/csp_source_test.go)
passes: no inline scripts, no on*= handlers, no hx-on/js: vals.
Expand the catalog from 11 themes (10 dark, 1 light) to 37 (24/13):
all 18 remaining Omarchy defaults (palettes from each theme's
colors.toml) plus 8 canonical light themes (Tokyo Night Day, Solarized
Light, One Light, Ayu Light, GitHub Light, Gruvbox Light, Everforest
Light, Kanagawa Lotus). Lupine leads the light list as the default
light theme; the app default stays tokyo-night.
Appearance panel: Dark/Light segmented filter (SSR-initialized from the
user's current theme), scrollable theme list, Bookshelf section pinned;
active row revealed on open. Light themes carry color-scheme: light and
the soft-shadow token set. Public-page theme selects get Dark/Light
optgroups. New moon/sun icons.
tailwind.config: safelist the new theme ids — Tailwind v3 purges custom
@layer base class selectors that appear in no scanned content file, so
an unsafelisted id silently ships without its CSS (found the hard way).
theme.ts: applyTheme now swaps only theme-* classes (changing theme
from the login select no longer wipes min-h-screen) and keeps the class
in sync on <html> for the new ThemeFlashGuard — a pre-paint inline
script on the four public pages that applies the saved theme before
first paint.
Kanagawa's UI accent uses crystalBlue (#7e9cd8) instead of Omarchy's
foreground-as-accent so links stay distinguishable from text.
A2a (metadata round): narrators TEXT[] + narrators_search (tags
pattern: accumulator + GIN pairs) + abridged bool on media_items;
scanner fills from the Libation/ABS sidecar (narrators verbatim,
abridged flag) with audio-payload promotion; editorial fields ride
the real columns while audio_metadata stays scan-derived (duration/
codec/chapters). Detail/edit/save paths carry the fields; the web
edit dialog grows an Audio section (Narrator(s) comma-input, Abridged
toggle, scanned duration read-only); search weights + narrator filter
(word_similarity over narrators_search) + narrator autocomplete added.
A2c (per-media-type wording): copy helpers keyed on format_group —
Listen Now, Mark Complete/Not Complete, Listening Progress, Your
Listening Stats, Time Listening, Time listened (pages tile swapped for
audio), Position H:MM:SS / total H:MM:SS on detail + progress pages
(duration parsed from audio_metadata). Dashboard: system collections
swap to Continue Listening / Recently Listened at DISPLAY time when
the audiobooks library is selected (stored names unchanged; restores
keep working); week card = Listening Time / Sessions / Books Touched;
cover-corner badges identify audiobook (headphones) / comic / manga
cards on mixed grids — books stay unbadged; hover action icon follows
the media type.
A2b (player): the scrubber binds value to the playhead with an explicit
scrub guard (the handle previously froze at its initial max); header
row = reader-style back arrow + Chapter n/total launcher; chapters
open in a floating top-down drawer (current chapter highlighted, page
never shifts); Skip/Speed rows share one label-left layout; honest
wall-clock session accounting (playing-only deltas, paused flush).
A2d (bookmarks): note-bearing time bookmarks ride the existing
media_bookmarks substrate (notes column + sync-aware service already
there) — audio locator convention audio:<seconds>, chapter_number
filled, auto-title '<chapter> — H:MM:SS', capture popover with optional
note, drawer with jump/edit-note/delete. Zero server changes needed.
Verified live on the Libation sample: narrators backfilled by rescan;
PUT edit persisted + overrides detected (narrators, abridged); force
rescan preserved the user edit; reset-to-scanned-of-defaults restored
truth; narrator filter/autocomplete scoped by library; dashboard
listsening wording + badges render; bookmark save with note deduped to
one row.
- Add gear icon (proper cog) and use it for device settings button
- Replace KOReader manual identifier input with step-by-step plugin
setup instructions (clone repo, enter server URL, approve pending reg)
- Show server URL with copy button pre-filled from baseURL
- Kobo keeps manual registration flow (device name + identifier)
- Comment out Web Browser and Mobile App options (not implemented)
- Use Alpine x-model on device-type select to toggle between
KOReader instructions and Kobo registration form
Add semantic design tokens and base primitives to replace the verbose
inline var() styling that made the UI feel dated.
- Rename colliding Tailwind color tokens (bg-primary/bg-secondary) to
semantic names (surface/surface-raised/content/content-muted/brand/line)
- Derive hover, overlay, border-strong, accent-muted and elevation tokens
once on <body> so they adapt to every theme automatically
- Make :root mirror Tokyo Night to kill the first-paint theme flash
- Add component primitives in @layer components: .card (surface + soft
shadow, no hard border), .btn variants, .input, .chip, .badge, .icon-btn
- Add theme-aware status/priority badges and global focus-visible styling
- Add an inline-SVG Icon() component (consistent stroke language) to
replace the mixed emoji/SVG iconography
- Data-drive theme/wood options and add an active-nav helper
- Add skeleton shimmer + x-cloak support
