Wrapping alone isn't how polished mobile readers work. Adopt the
standard pattern (Kindle/Apple Books/Mihon) responsively:
- >= 768px: the full fixed-layout toolbar stays (wrap still absorbs
mid-size widths) — power users keep one-click zoom/fit/spread.
- < 768px: single-line compact row — page back, back-to-location pin,
slider, page forward, progress, and a ⋯ overflow button. No
wrapping, no horizontal scroll.
- ⋯ opens a glass menu anchored above the bar with LABELED rows
(Zoom −/%/+, Fit, Page position/Recenter, Magnifier, Pointer
Smart/Pan/Text, Double page, Contents) — labels beat mystery icons
on touch. Pointer row hides for comics; menu scrolls if tall.
- Dismissal: Esc, outside click (⋯ button exempt so it re-toggles
cleanly), opening any drawer or TOC closes it; hides with the
chrome. Compact slider registered in progressSliders() so all
three stay in sync with relocate events.
Wires foliate's search engine into the new drawer system:
- 🔍 topbar button (reflowable-only; PDF/comic sections have no
searchable text documents) and the '/' keyboard shortcut open a
Search drawer: query input (Enter to run), live progress while
scanning (per-section percent), match count, and results grouped
by section with TOC labels.
- Each result shows pre/match/post excerpt rendered as three text
nodes (no x-html — book content never enters the DOM as markup);
the match is styled with a translucent <mark>. Clicking jumps to
the hit's CFI and closes the drawer.
- Hits are drawn on the page through foliate's overlayer (outline
style) and persist across page turns — the engine re-applies
search results when a section's overlay is created. Clearing the
query removes the outlines.
- A generation counter discards results and progress from superseded
searches (rapid re-query), and starting a new search clears the
previous one server-side via view.clearSearch().
- Search integrates with the drawer system: scrim, Esc-to-close,
one-drawer-at-a-time, / focuses the input via .
Phase 3 (EPUB half) of the reader redesign:
- Select text in a reflowable book → floating glass popover at the
selection (5 colors, note, copy). Clicking a color creates the
highlight via POST /api/media-items/:id/highlights, anchored by the
foliate range CFI (epubcfi_start) with percentage position.
- Highlights render through foliate's overlayer pipeline: draw-
annotation draws Overlayer.highlight with the stored color,
create-overlay re-adds persisted highlights as sections load,
show-annotation opens the edit popover when a highlight is clicked
(recolor, edit note, copy, delete).
- Backend: highlight create/update accept epubcfi_start/end,
note_text, and percentage fields; position validation relaxed
(CFIs exceed the old 100-char cap); PUT routes through
AnnotationService.SaveHighlight so edits get dedup/LWW treatment
and actually persist note_text (the plain query can't).
- Bookmarks drawer becomes the Annotations drawer with tabs:
Highlights (color-bar list, note previews, jump/edit/delete),
Notes (add note at current position, list, delete — backed by the
existing notes API), and Bookmarks (unchanged behavior).
- Popover dismissed on outside click, collapsed selection, page
navigation, or Esc (new top-priority Esc branch).
Phase 2 of the reader redesign:
- Fixed-layout touch engine (foliate-js e9e61d8): pinch-zoom around
the midpoint, two-finger pan, single-finger pan while zoomed,
horizontal swipe page-turn at fit (RTL-aware via next()/prev()),
and double-tap to zoom 2.5x / reset. Touch events forwarded from
page iframes with converted coordinates; preventDefault only when
the engine consumes the gesture, so PDF text selection and native
taps stay intact. touch-action: none on the host and in comic/pdf
page documents keeps the browser from fighting the engine.
- Tap zones (Kindle-style) for touch devices: tap the outer margins
to page, center to toggle chrome. Size configurable (10-50%) via
the revived tap_zone_size setting; toggle via new tap_zones_enabled
(Behavior section of the settings drawer). Pointer-based + passive
so drags/swipes/selection never trigger; attached both to the
viewport and inside every page document (iframe events don't
bubble); debounced 280ms so double-tap zoom doesn't also page; no
zone actions while a fixed-layout page is zoomed.
- Drawers become full-width sheets on screens <= 640px.
Modernize the reader chrome bars without touching the drawer system:
- Bars become theme-tinted glass: 70% bg-primary translucency over
the edge-to-edge page, 18px backdrop blur + saturation, hairline
translucent borders, soft directional shadows (single .reader-glass
class owns the effect; replaces solid opaque backgrounds and the
tailwind backdrop-blur that would override it).
- Chrome hide/show now slides the bars off-screen (translateY) in
addition to the opacity fade, via .chrome-hidden on #reader-chrome.
- Theme-aware hover pills (translucent currentColor tint) replace
hard-coded gray-700 hovers; focus-visible rings added.
- Progress slider gets a custom thin rounded track with a floating
white thumb (webkit + gecko), replacing native range styling.
- Separators and the fit-mode select match the glass language
(.reader-sep, .reader-select).
Phase 1 of the reader redesign:
- Reading surface is edge-to-edge; top/bottom bars overlay
translucently (backdrop-blur) instead of reserving insets, killing
the inset-coordination bug class entirely. Chrome auto-hides after
2.5s of pointer inactivity (chrome_behavior setting finally wired:
auto-hide / always-visible; legacy values map to auto-hide). Pointer
activity inside page iframes keeps it awake; Esc toggles.
- TOC / Settings / Bookmarks become slide-over drawers with a scrim
(z-50, full-height, safe-area aware), replacing the dockable-panel
system and its window-shade headers. Only one drawer opens at a
time; Esc or scrim click closes.
- Bottom bar is contextual: reflowable keeps nav/slider/progress/TOC;
fixed-layout row adds Fit Page/Width select, zoom cluster,
magnifier (now shows active state), Double Page Spread toggle, and
a Smart | Pan | Text segmented control replacing the cryptic
two-state icon. Smart = text-aware drag; Text = selection-only
(manual smart-detect off); Pan = force pan. Choice persists via
pdf_interaction_mode (new setting + foliate 29bc958 'text' mode).
- Settings drawer: Behavior (chrome, progress mode), Appearance with
18 Kindle-style theme swatches (single source of truth from
THEME_COLORS), Typography, Layout — each scoped by format.
- Keyboard: t/s/b open TOC/settings/bookmark, Esc closes drawers
before toggling chrome, shortcuts skip form inputs; both slider
rows tracked correctly (no duplicate-ID lookups).
- Topbar: Back, title, add-bookmark, bookmarks drawer, Aa settings;
chrome follows user theme.
Phase 0 of the reader redesign:
- Panels no longer render under the top/bottom bars: sidebars get
measured insets (same resize/safe-area mechanism as the viewport);
panel max-height now derives from the bounded sidebar instead of a
100vh guess; right-side border targets the actual sidebar.
- Bookmarks work end-to-end for the first time: REST CRUD under
/api/media-items/:id/bookmarks (create/delete route through
AnnotationService for dedup/LWW/tombstones), fix UpdateMediaBookmark
referencing nonexistent updated_at column, frontend posts to the
real API with per-format position (CFI vs page), live list with
jump + delete instead of SSR-only snapshot.
- Fix chapter matching in progress saves: boundaries were compared by
a nonexistent tocItem property, so chapter was never persisted.
- Remove dead UI: Navigator panel stub, empty dictionary popup shell,
unwired Chrome Behavior select; purge 160 stale build artifacts.
- Reader chrome now follows the user's app theme instead of hardcoded
theme-tokyo-night.
Sidebar appearance menu improvements:
Accordion behavior:
- Lift panel open/close state to a shared 'openPanel' variable on the
parent container so only one sidebar panel (User, Appearance, Admin,
Sign In) can be open at a time; all can be closed.
- Admin panel still auto-opens on /admin/* pages via initial state.
- Add chevron rotation to User and Appearance panels (previously only
Admin rotated); add a chevron to the Sign In panel for consistency.
Wood texture previews:
- Generate 48x48 WebP thumbnails (~200 bytes each) from the full-size
PNG textures (873 KB – 1.9 MB) so the bookshelf option circles show
the actual wood grain instead of a flat grey dot.
- Use unquoted url() in the inline style to avoid templ's double-HTML
escaping of single quotes (SanitizeStyleAttributeValues + EscapeString
turned url('...') into url('...) which is invalid CSS).
- 'None' keeps the flat neutral circle.
CSS resilience:
- Move the wood background-image: url() rules from the compiled
style.css into input.css (the Tailwind source) so they survive CSS
rebuilds instead of being silently lost.
Bring the tighten-ui brand treatment into new-ui:
- Replace the emoji book (📚) in the sidebar header with the book-open
icon rendered in the theme accent color, matching the tighten-ui
header brand (templates/header.templ).
- Add web/static/favicon.svg (book-open glyph, tokyo-night accent
#7aa2f7 stroke) and reference it from the <head> of all 27 page
templates, so the favicon is present on login/setup/error pages too.
- Regenerate templ output for all affected templates.
- Admin section in sidebar now uses same expandable panel pattern as
Appearance and User sections (toggle button with chevron, auto-opens
when on /admin pages)
- Library Manage button toggles open/close instead of only opening
(uses htmx.ajax for open, clears panel for close)
- 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
The account and appearance menus sat in one container with no separation,
so expanding one made the other hard to find. Each collapsible menu now
lives in its own subtly lifted, bordered panel (.sidebar-panel) so the
expanded items stay visually contained and the menus never blend together.
Applied to the account, appearance, and sign-in menus.
The play button on book cards now opens the reader directly, instead of
always going to the detail page. Cards with an active progress sync
conflict route the play button to the detail page (which hosts the
conflict dialogue and resolves before writing progress), so the user is
never silently dropped into the reader with an unresolved conflict.
Backend:
- Add HasConflict to BookInfo and stamp it via ListSyncConflictsByUser
(MarkActiveConflicts / MarkActiveConflictsSections) on the dashboard,
bookshelf, series, tag, and search result card builders.
- Each page issues a single conflict query regardless of card count.
BookCard:
- Restructure into a detail link (cover + meta) with the play action as a
sibling overlay using a pointer-events split: the container passes
clicks through to detail while only the circular button routes to the
reader. No nested anchors.
- On touch devices (hover: none) the play button stays visible.
Fix: carousel nav buttons had opacity-0 without pointer-events-none, so
they swallowed hover/clicks over book cards on the dashboard. They are
now click-through until the carousel is hovered.
On phones the footer's progress cell rendered the full chapter title (e.g. 'Long Chapter Name · 5 / 12') in a div with no max-width or nowrap, so the text wrapped to multiple lines and ballooned the bottom bar. Combined with viewport offsets that were computed from assumed pixel heights with ~0px margin, the book text slipped underneath the bars.
Chapter label in footer: split #progress-display into two spans (progressLabel hidden on mobile via 'hidden sm:inline', progressMain always shown) and cap it with 'truncate whitespace-nowrap max-w-[5rem] sm:max-w-none' so it can never wrap or grow the bar. Phones now show just '5 / 12'; larger screens keep 'Chapter · 5 / 12'.
Viewport offset: replace the fragile hardcoded calc() with runtime measurement. Gave the chrome bars ids (reader-topbar/reader-bottombar) and added updateViewportInsets(), which sets #reader-viewport top/bottom from each bar's real offsetHeight (which already includes env(safe-area-inset-*) padding) plus a 6px margin. It runs on init and refreshes on resize, orientationchange, and via a ResizeObserver, so the content area tracks the actual chrome height on any DPI, notch, home-indicator, or zoom level instead of guessing.
Refactored formatProgress into formatProgressParts (returns {label, main}; only chapter mode sets a label) with a setProgress() helper wiring progressLabel/progressMain/progressText across the relocate, cycleProgressMode, and applyProgressMode call sites. Rebuilt reader_templ.go and style.css.
Replace the top-nav with a fixed left sidebar + slim content topbar
(the Komga/Audiobookshelf layout), the signature change versus the
conservative tighten-ui branch.
- App shell: .app-sidebar (off-canvas on mobile via Alpine mobileMenuOpen,
pinned at 16rem on lg), .app-topbar (fixed, blurred, 4rem), and
.app-subbar for in-page sticky bars (parks under the topbar). Content is
auto-offset via body:has(.app-sidebar) so reader.templ/error.templ (which
have no sidebar) are untouched.
- Header rebuilt as the sidebar: logo + vertical nav (activeClass), an
inline Appearance picker driven by ThemeOptions/WoodOptions, and an
inline account menu / sign-in (preserving the inline htmx login). The
search lives in the topbar so its dropdown still anchors correctly.
- Bolder primitives: .card -> rounded-2xl, cinematic .book-card-cover
hover overlay with a quick-action affordance, .brand-gradient hero
surface, .hero-backdrop (blurred cover) and .stat-card utilities.
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
The reader chrome used the same dimensions at every screen size, and the book viewport offset was hardcoded to 52px. This made the header/footer oversized on phones and left the body text flush against (or overlapping) the bars, with no handling for notched-device safe areas.
- Add viewport-fit=cover so notched devices expose safe-area insets.
- Shrink the top bar on mobile (px-3 py-2 / text-base, scaling up at sm:) and hide the chapter title on phones (hidden sm:block sm:truncate).
- Shrink the bottom bar on mobile (tighter padding/gap, p-1.5 sm:p-2 on buttons) while keeping all controls visible.
- Replace the hardcoded top-[52px] bottom-[52px] viewport offsets with responsive calc() values (44/48px mobile, 60px at sm:) that fold in env(safe-area-inset-*), plus matching safe-area padding on the bars, so the book content always clears the chrome with a visible margin.
Regenerates reader_templ.go and rebuilds style.css.
The btn-secondary class was used 39 times across 15 templates but had
no definition in any global CSS file. The only definition existed in
error.templ's inline styles (intentionally self-contained).
Added .btn-secondary and .btn-secondary:hover to input.css using
theme-aware CSS variables (--accent) consistent with the existing
.btn-primary pattern. Rebuilt style.css via Tailwind.
Replace the 'Go to Conflicts Page' link with inline conflict resolution.
Each conflict source now has a 'Keep This' button that resolves the
conflict directly from the book detail page.
- Conflict data now keyed by source name (koreader, web) instead of
new/existing, with Source and Timestamp fields
- Display percentage scaled correctly (* 100)
- Fix page field name from current_page to page
- Add conflict resolution JavaScript in book-detail.ts
- Add 10-minute cooldown after resolution to prevent re-detection
On viewports below 970px the header now collapses to a compact bar with
only the Bookhoard logo and a hamburger button. Clicking the hamburger
reveals a slide-down panel containing:
- Full-text search input (wired to the existing debounced search API)
- Navigation links (Library, All Books, Series, Collections, Progress, Devices)
- Collapsible theme switcher with all 7 themes and 4 bookshelf backgrounds
- User section: profile/admin/logout when logged in, inline login form when logged out
Changes:
- templates/header.templ: add hamburger button, mobile panel with all controls,
hide desktop search/theme/user controls below nav breakpoint
- web/src/header.ts: add mobileMenuOpen state to Alpine header component
- web/src/search.ts: refactor initializeSearch to wire both desktop and mobile
search inputs, track active input for results container placement
- tailwind.config.ts: add custom 'nav' screen breakpoint at 970px so the
mobile menu activates before the search bar becomes unusable
- web/static/style.css: rebuilt with new nav breakpoint utility classes
Remove 185 binary files (169 CMaps + 16 standard fonts) from git
tracking. These are build artifacts copied from
node_modules/@bookhoard/foliate-js at build time and should not be
version-controlled.
Changes:
- Remove web/static/vendor/pdfjs/ from git (169 cmap files + 16
standard font files)
- Add web/static/vendor/ to .gitignore
- Drop CJK cmap copying from build scripts — the app is English-only
and CJK support can be re-added later if needed (saves ~1.7MB in
the container image)
- Update all three build scripts (build:ts, build:ts:dev,
build:ts:watch) to copy only standard_fonts/ from node_modules
- Remove cMapUrl from reader.ts PDF config since we no longer ship
cmaps
- Keep standardFontDataUrl pointing to the build-copied fonts which
are needed for PDFs with non-embedded standard fonts (Helvetica,
Times, Courier, etc.)
foliate-js could not locate cmaps and standard_fonts at runtime because
no explicit paths were provided to the PDF.js config. This caused
rendering failures for PDFs using CJK fonts or standard PDF fonts.
Changes:
- Pass cMapUrl and standardFontDataUrl to view.open() in reader.ts
- Pin foliate-js fork to commit 74c317d in package.json for reproducibility
- Update build:ts script to copy cmaps/ and standard_fonts/ to
web/static/vendor/pdfjs/ during build
Create web/src/series.ts with Alpine component implementing the same
switchLibrary pattern as the dashboard:
- Fetch /api/series on library change instead of full page reload
- Fade out/in transition with loading spinner
- Re-render series grid and pagination from JSON response
- Save selected library to localStorage
Import series.ts in main.ts.
Add stacked-cascade CSS to input.css for multi-cover series cards:
- Covers cascade from top-left to bottom-right with increasing z-index
- Front cover sits at bottom-right (highest z-index)
- Separate layout rules for 1-7 covers with rotation offsets
- Hover lift effect on series cards
Replace the original 5-theme allowlist (light, sepia, dark, night,
high-contrast) with a richer 20-theme palette organized into tonal
families: neutrals (light, paper, slate, oled), warm tones (sepia,
parchment, warm, candlelight), cool tones (azure, sky, arctic, frost),
and evening tones (dusk, sunset, twilight, forest, moss, solarized).
The backend validator in UpdateSettings now accepts all 20 theme names,
and the frontend Tailwind build is updated to include the new theme CSS
variables and preflight reset.
- Remove Playwrite NZ Guides test font and all references (FONT_MAP,
FONT_FILES, reader-fonts.css, dropdown option, font files)
- Move settings panel from left sidebar to right sidebar (left sidebar
now only contains TOC)
- Move Restore Defaults button from top bar icon to a styled button
inside the settings panel, side by side with Done button
The paginator renders inside a sandboxed iframe that blocks @font-face
URL fetches. Fonts were never loading — all font-family rules fell back
to the generic 'serif' system font, making every reading font identical.
Fix: fetch font files on the parent page, create blob: URLs via
URL.createObjectURL(), and use those blob URLs in the @font-face rules
injected into the iframe via setStyles(). Blob URLs are always
same-origin with the creating document, so the sandboxed iframe can
access them with allow-same-origin.
Also added Playwrite NZ Guides as a test font for verifying font
switching works.
Fonts weren't loading because the paginator renders inside a sandboxed
iframe. @font-face declarations in the parent page's CSS are invisible
to the iframe's document. Even injecting @font-face rules via
setStyles() may not trigger font loading in sandboxed iframes.
Fix: inject a <link> to reader-fonts.css directly into the iframe's
document on each section load, so @font-face declarations are parsed
in the iframe's own document context where font-family rules can
reference them.
Also:
- Remove foliate-themes.css entirely (no longer needed)
- Set viewport background color directly via JS using THEME_COLORS map
- Remove reading theme CSS classes from viewport element
Two root causes fixed:
1. Reading theme CSS variables were on document.body, leaking font/color
into chrome UI. Now scoped to #reader-viewport so chrome keeps its own
theme (system font, --text-primary colors) while the reading area uses
reading theme colors/background.
2. getCSS() never received font family, font size, or line height settings.
The settings UI (dropdowns, sliders) saved values but they were never
injected into the book's shadow DOM. Now getCSS() accepts all four
settings and generates proper CSS rules for them.
Changes:
- Wrap foliate-view in #reader-viewport div (absolute positioned between
chrome bars)
- getCSS() reads computed style from #reader-viewport, not document.body
- getCSS() params expanded: fontFamily, fontSize, lineHeight, justify,
hyphenate (removed unused 'spacing')
- Added FONT_MAP to translate setting keys to CSS font-family values
- applyTheme() targets #reader-viewport instead of document.body
- Removed dead #reader-viewport typography rules from foliate-themes.css
(shadow DOM doesn't inherit outer styles), kept only background-color
- Position foliate-view with absolute inset-x-0 top-[52px] bottom-[52px]
so book content renders between the fixed header and footer bars instead
of behind them
- Confirmed removal of foliate-themes.css base typography was correct:
body color now comes from chrome theme's --text-primary (light for
dark chrome themes like tokyo-night)
Two fixes:
1. Remove base typography block from foliate-themes.css. The html/body
rules were unlayered CSS that overrode the chrome theme's layered
body styles, causing dark reading theme text colors (--reader-text)
to apply to the outer chrome UI on dark backgrounds. These styles
are only meant for the shadow DOM, which getCSS() already handles.
2. Move missing typography rules (img, blockquote, a, p orphans/widows)
into getCSS() so the shadow DOM still gets them.
3. Add sun/moon emoji indicators to the light/dark toggle switch.
Add explicit light/dark mode toggle switch to the reading theme settings.
The reading mode defaults based on the chrome theme (dark chrome themes
like tokyo-night default to dark reading mode).
- Add readingMode property to readerShell Alpine component
- Add toggleReadingMode() method that toggles dark class on body
- Add detectChromeDarkMode() to infer default from chrome theme
- Update applyTheme() to add/remove dark class and persist reading_mode
- Add toggle switch UI in settings panel (blue pill style, next to
Reading Theme heading)
- Add reading_mode to default settings in settings-manager
Add comprehensive reading theme system with 18 themes organized into 5 categories.
All themes include light and dark mode variants, optimized for readability and
eye comfort during long reading sessions.
Theme Categories:
1. Classic Reading (6 themes)
- Light, Paper, Sepia, Parchment, Warm, Candlelight
- Time-tested, comfortable for general reading
2. Sky & Atmosphere (4 themes)
- Azure, Sky, Arctic, Frost
- Open, airy, contemplative feel with blue tones
3. Sunset & Warmth (3 themes)
- Dusk, Sunset, Twilight
- Warm, energizing colors for evening reading
4. Nature & Earth (3 themes)
- Forest, Moss, Slate
- Grounded, natural, calming greens and grays
5. High Performance (2 themes)
- OLED, Solarized
- Optimized for specific use cases (battery saving, precision design)
Theme Features:
- All themes pass WCAG AAA contrast standards (7:1 ratio)
- Each theme has light and dark mode variants
- CSS custom properties for dynamic theme switching
- Optimized color temperatures for different lighting conditions
- Inspired by best practices from e-readers (Kindle, Kobo) and community projects (Grimmory)
Design Principles:
- Readability first: Avoid pure black on pure white (causes eye strain)
- Color temperature: Warm tones for evening, cool tones for daytime focus
- Typography support: Works seamlessly with 9 bundled libre fonts
- Progressive enhancement: Themes work without JavaScript
File: web/static/foliate-themes.css (301 lines)
- CSS custom properties for each theme variant
- Typography base styles (font-family, font-size, line-height, margins)
- Link, selection, and image handling styles
- Orphan/widow prevention for better text flow
Delete old versions of features that are now in /reader/features/:
- offline-manager.ts (moved to features/)
- reading-speed-tracker.ts (moved to features/)
- panel-dock-system.ts (replaced by converted version in features/)
- navigator-panel.ts (replaced by converted version in features/)
All imports now use the /reader/features/ directory. This eliminates
duplication and makes it clear which files are the active ones.
- Rename font files from VariableFont_wght/opsz,wght to Variable format
- Add reader-fonts.css with @font-face definitions for 10 serif fonts
- Fonts: Crimson Pro, EB Garamond, Literata, Noto Serif, Source Serif 4
- Each font includes regular and italic variants
Add 8 libre font families optimized for extended reading:
Variable fonts (continuous weight range):
- Literata: Modern book typeface for Google Books
- Crimson Pro: Screen-optimized serif
- Source Serif 4: Adobe's professional serif with optical size axis
- EB Garamond: Classic elegance with smooth italics
Static fonts (multiple weights):
- Libertinus Serif: Academic/technical with excellent math support
- Noto Serif: Maximum language coverage
- Charis SIL: Multilingual specialist with extensive Latin support
- IBM Plex Serif: IBM's corporate serif family
All fonts provided in WOFF2 format for optimal compression. Variable fonts
offer continuous weight ranges (200-900) while static fonts provide specific
weights for predictable rendering. Total footprint: ~7.5MB.
These fonts provide excellent readability for extended reading sessions
across all supported languages and scripts.
CSS changes for bookshelf page:
Tristate button styles (input.css):
- Add .tristate-btn base class with transition effects
- Three state-specific classes with dynamic colors:
- .state-null (Any): Neutral style with --text-secondary
- .state-true (Has Cover): Green success style using color-mix()
- .state-false (No Cover): Red/warning style using color-mix()
- Theme-aware coloring using CSS variables:
- Background: var(--bg-primary) with color overlays
- Border: var(--border) base color
- Text: var(--text-primary) for readability
- Hover and active states for better UX
- Flex layout for proper icon/text alignment
- Support for light and dark themes automatically
Style.css update:
- Minor adjustment for compatibility
The tristate button provides clear visual feedback for the has_cover
filter state with automatic theme adaptation.
- Add fetchFieldValues helper function for API calls
- Add fetchAuthorValues for author autocomplete
- Add fetchGenreValues for genre autocomplete
- Add fetchSeriesValues for series autocomplete
- Add fetchLanguageValues for language autocomplete
- Functions use native DOM manipulation to populate datalist elements
- No Alpine.js reactive state (simple pattern, not reactive)
- Functions registered as methods in Alpine.data("bookshelf") component
- Triggers on input with 300ms debounce after 2 characters minimum
- Updates include count in option text (e.g., "Asimov, Isaac (47)")
Uses /api/media-items/search with field-specific params (author=value, genre=value, etc.).
Generated files updated to reflect:
- New admin_settings.templ template
- Updated admin_sidebar.templ with Settings link
- Fixed devices.templ with correct regenerate-token path
- Compiled TailwindCSS with any style changes
- Update header.templ to load single main.js script instead of 4 separate files
- Remove obsolete header.js and search.js as they are now bundled
- Update Alpine.js event handlers to use standard double quotes
- This completes the ESBuild migration by eliminating inline script loads
The main.js bundle now contains all header, theme, and search functionality
previously loaded separately, improving load performance and maintainability.
