- Header: sticky app-wide, active nav highlighting, data-driven theme
picker with active swatch, unified SVG icons, deduped login fragment
(was duplicated verbatim for desktop + mobile), removed stray console.log
- LibrarySwitcher: cleaner sticky bar, SVG action icons, theme-aware
- BookCard: the atomic unit now has a real surface (was floating text
when wood-paneling was off due to an undefined --wood-border), with
cohesive shadow + hover lift; reused across dashboard/bookshelf/series
- Dashboard: calmer section headers, snap carousels with SVG chevrons
- Bookshelf: recompose the filter wall into a search toolbar + collapsible
Filters panel (all 9 filters + save/load/clear preserved), redesigned
empty state and pagination
- Book detail, series, collections, browse: cohesive cards, SVG action
icons, uppercase muted labels, theme-aware badges/links
The book detail page had no way to mark a book finished or reset its
read state from the UI. Reading state is modelled by reading_progress
alone, where 'read' is the canonical signal percentage >= 1.0 (used by
the dashboard Recently Read collection, analytics, and sync priority).
Add a single toggle button in the action row (after Read Now) whose
label is server-rendered from completion state:
- not read -> "Mark as Read" -> PUT /api/media-items/:id/progress
{ percentage: 1.0 }
- read -> "Mark as Unread" -> DELETE /api/media-items/:id/progress
Mark as Unread cannot use PUT { percentage: 0 }: the progress handler
silently ignores percentage < 0.005 when existing progress > 0.01
(internal/handlers/media.go anti-regression guard), so DELETE is the
only reliable reset.
If the book has an active sync mismatch (an unresolved sync_conflicts
row), the toggle resolves it first via POST /api/conflicts/:id/resolve
before writing progress. Order matters: resolving sets resolved_at,
arming the 10-minute HasRecentConflictResolution suppression window so
the subsequent progress write does not spawn a brand-new conflict. The
resolve winner is any valid source key from the conflict data (prefers
"web"); it does not affect the final state, which the progress write
sets. A 400 "already resolved" response is tolerated.
Notes, highlights, and ratings are independent of reading_progress (they
reference media_items, not progress) and are never affected by the
toggle. After toggling the page reloads so the progress card, Sync
Progress button, and conflict banner re-render server-side.
- templates/utils.go: add conflictWinnerSource and conflictID helpers.
- templates/book_detail.templ: data-conflict-id/winner on <body> and the
toggle button.
- web/src/book-detail.ts: toggleRead() + conflictId/conflictWinner/
readSaving state (read from <body> in init()).
- templates/book_detail_templ.go regenerated.
The book detail page only displayed user ratings as static, non-clickable
stars. The full rating CRUD stack already existed in the backend
(media_ratings table, POST/GET/PUT/DELETE /api/media-items/:id/rating)
but nothing in the web UI could create or update a rating.
Replace the display-only renderStars output for the user rating with an
Alpine.js widget that:
- Renders 5 stars, each split into two transparent hit zones so the
underlying 1-10 scale maps to half-star precision (left half = x.5,
right half = whole star).
- Shows a live hover preview via a ratingHover state field.
- Saves the rating in place through POST /api/media-items/:id/rating
(which upserts) and reflects the value immediately, with no full page
reload.
- Displays the numeric value (e.g. "3.5 / 5") and a Clear button that
issues DELETE to remove the rating.
- Reads the server-rendered value from a new data-rating attribute on
<body> during the bookDetail component init().
The community rating block is left as a display-only renderStars render
since it is imported metadata, not a user rating.
templates/book_detail_templ.go is regenerated (also picking up templ
v0.3.1020 reformatting of the generated output).
- Add clickable tag badges between comic badges and synopsis, linking to
/tags/detail?name=<tag>&library_id=<id> for browsing books by tag
- Add Contributors as comma-separated row in the metadata grid
- Add data-library-id attribute to body for tag autocomplete API calls
- Fix series badge link: append &library_id= so /series/detail works
when navigated from book detail page (was returning empty/404)
- Replace showMetadataEditorPlaceholder() toast with showMetadataEditor()
that opens the metadata editor modal
- Add data-format-group attribute to body for client-side cover generation
- Include @MetadataEditorModal(book) in the page modals section
Create a new /series/detail?name=X&library_id=Y SSR page that shows
all books in a specific series, replacing the broken approach of
linking to /bookshelf?series_filter=X (the bookshelf SSR handler
ignores all filter query params).
The series detail page features:
- Back link to /series browse page
- Library selector dropdown (full page navigation on change)
- Series name header with book count badge
- Book grid using the shared BookCard template
- Empty state for series with no books
Update all links to point to the new page:
- Series cards on /series browse page
- Series badge on book detail page
- JS-rendered cards in series.ts switchLibrary
Add seriesDetailPage Alpine component for the detail page's
library switcher (simple navigation, no AJAX needed).
Create templates/series.templ with:
- Library selector dropdown (sticky, same pattern as dashboard)
- Loading spinner overlay for AJAX library switching
- Series grid with stacked-cascade multi-cover cards
- Empty state when no series found
- Pagination with Previous/Next links
- SeriesCard sub-template linking to filtered bookshelf view
Add 'Series' nav link in header between 'All Books' and 'Collections'.
Make series badge on book detail page clickable, linking to
/bookshelf?series_filter=<name>&sort=series.
Add 'Continue Series' option to restore system collection modal.
Replace hardcoded .Format() calls with FormatInTimezone() and
FormatTimestamptzInTimezone() helpers so all timestamps display in
the user's selected timezone.
Changes:
- book_detail.templ: remove incorrect templates. package prefix
- book_detail_modals.templ: add User param to ProgressSyncModal so
timezone is available; convert Timestamp to FormatInTimezone()
- devices.templ: convert LastSync and LastSeen to FormatInTimezone()
- conflicts.templ: convert CreatedAt to FormatInTimezone()
- admin_users.templ: convert CreatedAt to FormatInTimezone() using
currentUser.Timezone
Note: DatePublished is kept as a plain date format (MM-DD-YYYY) since
it is a pgtype.Date, not a timestamp, and does not need timezone
conversion.
Replace hardcoded 12-hour Format() calls with FormatTimestamptzInTimezone()
so that the Last Read time respects the user's selected timezone preference.
Both book_detail.templ and book_detail_modals.templ now use the same
timezone-aware helper that was introduced in the timezone support feature.
Consistently format dates and times across all templates and API
handlers using MM-DD-YYYY with 12-hour clock (03:04 PM):
- analytics.go: date keys, lastSync, lastRead timestamps
- progress.go: lastUpdated timestamp in GetAllProgress
- book_detail.templ: LastReadAt, DatePublished
- book_detail_modals.templ: progress sync timestamps, LastReadAt
- devices.templ: LastSync, LastSeen
- conflicts.templ: CreatedAt
- admin_users.templ: user CreatedAt date
Fix two bugs in progress display across book detail, progress page, reader,
and sync modal templates:
1. Percentage was stored as 0.0-1.0 fraction but displayed as-if 0-100
(showing 0.5% instead of 50%). Multiply by 100 at the data source in
both GetAllProgress and GetAllProgressData handlers, and in the reader
route's ReadingProgress construction.
2. Progress bar width was never evaluated — { expr } inside style=".."
was rendered as literal text by templ, resulting in 0% width bars for
all items. Fixed by using templ's style={ expr } attribute syntax
which evaluates the Go expression (uses SanitizeStyleAttributeValues).
Also add format-aware progress display:
- Reader template: shows "45% · Page 89/196" for reflowable (estimated
pages), "127/342" for comics/PDFs (actual pages)
- Progress page: shows "Page X of Y (est.)" for reflowable, "X / Y"
for fixed layout
- Add FormatGroup and EstimatedPages to ProgressWithMedia struct
- Remove hardcoded totalPages=200 fallback in progress handler (now 0)
- Add fmt import to progress.templ for string formatting
- Change script tags from 'defer' to 'type=module' for ES module support
- Add reader.js script to reader.templ for the reader bundle
- Update book_detail.templ 'Read Now' button to link to /readers/{id}
- Remove trailing blank line from register.templ
Implement comprehensive comic metadata display features on the SSR book detail
page, supporting all 8 metadata fields from ComicInfo.xml and other sources.

Improve star rating display on book detail page to show always-visible
5-star rating scale with theme-aware colors and visual half-star rendering.
Changes:
Enhanced renderStars() function:
- Always displays 5 stars (0/5 now shows 5 grey stars instead of empty)
- Filled stars use var(--accent) color (theme-aware highlight)
- Empty stars use var(--text-secondary) (theme-aware grey, adapts to light/dark themes)
- Half-stars use CSS linear-gradient (90deg) to split star vertically:
- Left half: var(--accent) (filled, color)
- Right half: var(--text-secondary) (empty, grey)
- Uses webkit-background-clip and text-fill-color transparent for gradient effect
Added getBookRating() helper function:
- Returns rating value or 0 if book.Rating is nil
- Allows unrated books to display 0/5 (5 grey stars)
- Makes rating section always visible instead of hiding when nil
Template changes:
- Updated rating display to always show (no conditionals)
- Removed text-yellow-400 class (colors now inline with theme vars)
- Added templ.Raw() wrapper for HTML rendering (prevents escaping)
- Simplified rating display logic
Benefits:
- Users can now see rating scale even when book isn't rated
- Visual half-star is much more intuitive than ½ text character
- Theme-aware colors adapt to light/dark mode automatically
- Follows existing patterns ( UnsafeHTML, CSS variables, etc.)
This makes the rating section more discoverable and user-friendly.
