- Remove the Phase 7 facet-panel UI: SSR route, facet_panel.templ,
FacetCountsForView, drawer panel block, panel TS + .facet-* CSS.
The ENGINE stays (FacetCountsUnderFilters, all-facets endpoint,
drift guard) — it becomes the Phase 9 builder's machinery.
- Fix the All-Books bug: field-values autocomplete (author/genre/
tags/narrator/series/language) treats library_id as OPTIONAL —
absent aggregates every VISIBLE library (family lens in-query);
explicit out-of-set library_id is now 403, never a silent pass.
The four scalar Search*Values queries get the nullable shape.
- toast.ts: suggestion fetches are exempt from error toasts
(console-only) — a failed background hint never interrupts.
- TestFacetPanelPartial deleted with the behavior; TestFieldValuesAll-
Libraries pins the fix (200 + cross-library aggregation, family
lens, 403). Contract-pins changelog entry added.
The 9 Batch A facets could not be SET from the web UI, the facets
endpoint had no in-app consumer, and the registry's libraryTypes hints
rendered nowhere. This phase closes all three.
- ONE UNION-ALL sqlc query (FacetCountsUnderFilters) computes all 14
listable facets in a single round trip: each arm omits its OWN
facet's filter block and carries every other registered facet's
block (copied mechanically from SearchMediaItemsUnified) — classic
faceted semantics: with filters active each facet counts under the
others; with none, blocks are neutral and the counts are the v1
global-per-library ones. One query serves both cases. The 14
per-column Batch C queries are deleted.
- Endpoint: no facet param → the new all-facets shape
({facets: {param: [{value, display?, count}]}}), filters bound via
the shared ParseMediaSearchParams, library_id optional (the
All-Libraries view, family lens still enforced); facet=X keeps the
pinned single-facet shape (now routed through the same query with
neutral filters).
- SSR partial GET /media-items/facet-panel: templ renders the drawer's
value lists — registry order, Batch D library-type scoping
(FacetsForLibraryType: manga_type on manga, reading_direction on
manga+comics, narrator on audiobooks; All view = union), prettified
genre labels + language display names, active values marked. Family
lens: out-of-set explicit library_id is 403.
- Drawer wiring: the panel fetches on drawer open and after every
apply with the CURRENT filter query string; a value click toggles
that facet's comma-joined filter (hidden input where the drawer has
no field — same as deep links) and re-applies the form; chips and
URL stay in sync. Values are server-rendered (rendering doctrine);
bookshelf.ts owns only the click/fetch orchestration.
- prettifyGenre moves to internal/utils as the canonical
implementation (services' display enrichment shares it; templ wraps
it; the TS port in bookshelf.ts is unchanged).
- Drift guard extended: FacetCountsUnderFiltersParams must carry every
registry facet's param, the bools as pgtype.Bool.
Tests: under-filter exactness (own-block omission, OR-within,
AND-across), family lens (hidden values absent; 403 on both shapes),
all-shape + pinned-shape coexistence, partial rendering with Batch D
scoping + active marking + 403. Full container suite green except the
documented pre-existing TestAdminCreateUser red.
@view-transition { navigation: auto; } lets Chrome 126+ / Safari 18+
crossfade same-origin navigations — sidebar links and the series
page's library-switch navigation get a subtle fade with zero
JavaScript, softening the switch to full SSR navigation. Pure
progressive enhancement: Firefox and older browsers simply navigate
instantly. style.css regenerated via build:css:prod.
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.
The stats page's Library-tab switcher (and every other native
<select>) rendered its dropdown LIST in the OS light scheme in dark
themes: the closed control is themed by its own classes, but the
popup list is UA-rendered and ignores page CSS unless the document
declares color-scheme (Chrome path) or the options carry explicit
colors (Firefox path). Both are now in place:
- :root { color-scheme: dark } (the default palette — Tokyo Night —
and all eleven themes except latte are dark),
- .theme-catppuccin-latte { color-scheme: light },
- select option { background-color: var(--bg-secondary); color:
var(--text-primary) } as the belt for engines where the popup
escapes the document cascade.
style.css regenerated via build:css:prod; verified served by the
rebuilt container.
Reader fullscreen: the topbar gains a fullscreen toggle (icon state + f
shortcut + help row; f is guarded so Ctrl/Cmd+F stays find-in-page).
Enter requests the Fullscreen API with fallbacks (desktop/Android get a
true full display; iOS Safari has no page-fullscreen API and falls back
to the soft visual mode only). Margins: the foliate paginator's closed
shadow root only yields through its observed 'margin' attribute, so
fullscreen fits a comfortable ratio (6% of the short side, floored at
48px) and floors it by the measured env insets — Android reports true
cutout insets in fullscreen, so portrait phones keep text clear of the
camera band; iOS letterboxes are already env-padded chrome. Fixed-layout
renderers skip it (fxl/webtoon pack pages edge-to-edge by design).
Exits the user makes outside the toggle (Esc, browser UI) sync via
fullscreenchange(+webkit) and restore the ordinary 48px margin; a
position-keeping re-render follows the ResizeObserver re-entry path.
Verified on-device: enter -> true fullscreen + icon swap + camera band
clear, exit -> chrome back, margins restored, position kept.
Volume: revert the stacked panel — the popup returns to the liked shape
(mute button left, horizontal dragger right, dialogue above the strip);
one-line flex restore of the pre-89665fb layout.
Manga badges: MediaBadgeKind makes the library type authoritative for
the comic/manga split — manga volumes ship as fixed_layout scans as
often as comic_archive (and manga_type is unreliable across sources:
unknown/NULL on real rows), so the old comic_archive+manga mapping left
the scan volumes unbadged. Anything in a manga library reads manga;
anything in a comics library reads comic. Verified: /dashboard lands 24
title="Manga" cover badges for the Manga library and the sections API
reports badge=manga for a fixed_layout item.
Ghost sidebar: the >=1024px media block applied body
padding-left:var(--sidebar-w) unconditionally, so pages that never
render the sidebar (logged-out pages, the audio player, the reader
itself) carried a phantom 16rem left margin that pushed content off
center on desktop widths. The body:has(.app-sidebar) rule below was
already the correct conditional source — it is now the only one.
Verified in the built stylesheet: exactly one such rule remains.
Infra: main.js ?v=3 stamp bump (reader.ts changed; hashed chunks churn
their URLs themselves).
Three dashboard complaints, one build:
- The widget collapses to a single summary row (This Week · minutes ·
pages · sessions · books · streak · Full stats) on every screen size
and expands to the full grid via a details/summary toggle — the
carousel sections start immediately below it again.
- The 'Your Library' heading moved into the library switcher subbar
(LibrarySwitcher gains an optional title param; collections/series
keep the plain 'Library' label). The standalone heading block is
gone.
- Root-caused the JS-switch vanishing: renderDashboardCollections
replaces ALL of #collections-container's innerHTML, so anything
server-rendered inside it (title, widget) died on the first library
switch. The widget now re-fetches ITSELF: a /dashboard/week-widget
fragment (same resolveLibrary family-lens rules as the page) is
pulled by htmx whenever the switcher dispatches week-refresh —
carrying the current #library-select value — so the widget both
survives switches and RE-SCOPES to the switched library. Initial SSR
renders the same scope the sections use.
ThisWeek (and the streak calendar) gained an optional library filter.
Tests: TestReadingStatsWeekLibraryScope — per-library totals, scoped
streaks, invisible-library isolation, malformed id 400. Full suite
PASS.
The design parked in the handoff (multi-tier stats off reading_history;
bookorbit-style in data, not looks) is in. The real prerequisite work
was data: reading_history existed but NOTHING wrote to it — the whole
stats feature was sitting on an empty table.
- CAPTURE (no client changes, no repo-boundary crossings): every
successful progress write through SaveProgress (KOReader + app + web
+ Kobo + offline queue — the one chokepoint) now records one
reading_history session row: span = the interval since the PREVIOUS
write instant, pages = positive page delta when both sides know the
page index, marker rows for first contact. Spans over 2h are kept as
zero-second markers (overnight suspend→resume, offline flushes must
not inflate totals) — the honest 'sync cadence, not a stopwatch'
caveat stays. device_id only when a REAL device row matches (the
web/app progress path historically stuffs the USER id into DeviceID
— probe instead of trusting it; FK violation would silently drop
every capture). Source preserved in device_metadata.
- API: /api/stats/summary?range=7|30|90|year (totals, zero-filled
daily arrays, streaks, most-active day/weekday, top books, library
breakdown — one call), /api/stats/this-week (widget: rolling 7d vs
previous + streak), /api/stats/books/:id (lifetime + recent
sessions). All bucketed in the user's timezone; finished ≡ any push
≥0.995; visible-library lens enforced at source. Legacy
/api/analytics/* kept untouched. Range windows anchor end-of-day to
the START of today (blasting the clock time into tomorrow resolved
'today' a calendar day late — found by the streak test).
- /stats page (sidebar Stats between Progress and Devices, previously
/analytics was an orphan): range selector, five stat cards, two
Chart.js v4 charts (daily minutes bar, pages/day line — chunked via
dynamic import so main.js stays untouched), per-library breakdown,
most-read list, empty-state explainer. /analytics now 301s to /stats.
The orphaned analytics.templ + analytics.ts removed (their containers
and the page JSON never matched; the page was astub).
- Dashboard 'This Week' widget (server-rendered, suppressed on service
failure) and the book detail 'Your Reading Stats' card (lifetime
totals of the viewer's own sessions) complete the tiers: per-user
default, per-library breakdown inline, per-book on the page,
per-system/admin aggregate parked as before.
Tests: statistics_test.go (capture semantics at the chokepoint,
tz/day buckets, zero-fill, streak math, finished detection, range
validation, auth gate, widget, per-book lifetime). Full suite PASS.
Type is DERIVED, not stored: a saved ruleset makes a collection SMART,
no rules = STATIC (stored collection_items links, unchanged behavior).
No schema change — collections.auto_assign_rules JSONB already carried
the config; user's decision 2026-10-14 (handoff: live-at-render, not
refresh-on-scan; create-time Static/Smart toggle; v1 NO hybrid).
- Rule gains an enabled flag (absent = enabled, legacy rules unaffected).
- Rule CRUD: POST/PUT(DELETE) /api/collections/:id/rules[/:ruleId] — the
survivor dead effort of the rules-builder UI finally has real
endpoints (rules were never editable after creation; nothing ever
re-evaluated them). First rule converts a user collection to smart;
removing the last reverts it to static. UpdateCollectionRulesJSON
edits ONLY the rules doc so rule CRUD cannot clobber metadata.
- Live evaluation: candidates from GetVisibleLiveMediaForRules —
visible-library set (family lens enforced at source) + archived IS
NULL AND missing_scan_count = 0 — any enabled rule matches, title
order. Zero refresh hooks by design: always current by construction.
- Membership mutations (add/remove/bulk-add) are 400 on smart — v1 no
hybrid; collection_items.excluded stays the reserved future hook.
- Rules builder page (/collections/:id/rules) first time ever routable;
templ whole-attribute interpolation ("{ expr }" inside a quoted attr
value is literal text, as theme-{ user.Theme } silently proved).
- UI: create modal Static/⚡Smart cards (smart create redirects into the
rules builder), ⚡ badge + real per-card counts on the grid (smart =
live matches, static = stored-link count), smart detail renders
matched books with no hand-pick actions + an Edit Rules button.
- API: GET /:id gains is_smart + live books; GET /: keeps the Android
app's default exclusion, include_auto=true surfaces smart rows with
live counts; TestRules previews against the SAME candidates the live
render uses (visible + live, was raw first-1000).
- FIXED pre-existing regression from 7ce7321: static collection detail
with NO library_id returned zero books — QueryType != '' caught user
rows ('filter' default) and routed them to dashboard sections that
never contain them; now only real system query types go there
(handlers + SSR). App-visible symptom: /api/collections/:id without
library_id came back books:[] for every static collection.
Tests: collections_smart_test.go (conversion, disabled rules, mutation
guards, revert-to-static, validation, system-collection prohibition,
include_auto semantics). Full offline integration suite PASS.
GET /api/auth/password-rules (public, pre-auth) exposes the ACTIVE
complexity config from the settings registry; password_validation.ts
now fetches it and generates the checklist rows per active rule —
inactive requirements no longer linger as fake tasks, and the min
length mirrors the admin's setting instead of a hardcoded 8.
Surfaces: register, setup, admin create-user (Users page), profile
password change (self + admin variants, now gated on checklist pass;
misleading minlength=6 dropped — the server was always the enforcer).
Verified live: flip min_length=12 / number+special off via the
settings API → endpoint + register/profile/admin checklists re-render
row-for-row; enforcement follows (short rejected, rule-valid accepted
without digits/specials); restore defaults → checklists return.
The /register checklist was dead markup: initPasswordValidation() was
only ever called on the setup page, so the requirement rows never
updated and the Register button stayed disabled forever — web
self-registration was effectively broken. The register Alpine component
now initializes it.
The validator is parameterized (field/submit ids, confirm + username/
email checks optional) so the admin Create User form reuses it: confirm
field, live requirement rows, and the Create button gated on all checks
passing. Requirements mirror the server's passwordcomplex rules
(8+ chars, upper/lower/number/special — the hardcoded defaults; server-
tuned rule values are a future nicety, the server remains the enforcer
either way).
The reflowable adjust (objective 9) had no fixed-layout counterpart: the
popover's Adjust button relied on adjustContext, which is only stashed by
the reflowable show-annotation path, so PDF rows showed a button that
silently did nothing. PDF highlights persist as page-fraction rect
payloads ({v:1,page,rects}), so their adjustment is geometry, not range
re-anchoring.
- startAnyAdjust routes the popover button by format; startPdfAdjust
runs a rect-edge session: 4 grips per rect (all edges, one rect per
drag), live preview through the renderer's own addRectAnnotation
(replace-by-key — no fork change), commit via saveHighlightChanges.
- Snap vocabulary mirrors snapBoundary: maximal letter runs are atomic
tokens (start edge takes the word start, end edge the word end), each
punctuation glyph is its own token with both edges grabbable (a period
or line-break hyphen can be taken or shed precisely). Horizontal edges
snap to line top/bottom bands (own line + neighbours).
- selection_text is recomputed from the glyph boxes inside the final
rects (reading order, lines joined with spaces) so the stored text
stays honest with the extent.
- Cancel paths mirror the reflowable session: page turn (renderer
relocate) discards and restores; a committed session skips the restore.
- getContents() from the fixed-layout renderer carries no index — page
iframe docs are mapped through a WeakMap filled by the view's load
events. Pointer mapping goes through the canvas's post-transform rect
(the dpr denominator lesson) via the fork's own convertPoint ratios.
- pdfCharBoxes dedupes by box key: pdf.js re-renders append a second
span set into the same .textLayer without clearing, and undeduped
glyphs doubled the recomputed text.
Device-verified (emulator Chrome + CDP): popover route, grip placement,
word-atomic shrink ("But this" -> "this"), extension to the exact
line-break hyphen boundary (0.8777), far-drag clamp at the last token,
page-turn cancel, and the reflowable adjust still routing to handles.
Tailwind preflight zeroes p/blockquote/list margins globally, so notes
rendered through renderNoteHtml collapsed flat: blank lines between
paragraphs vanished, blockquotes were indistinguishable from body text,
lists had no bullets/indent, code blocks had no padding. The parser was
always correct — the loss was CSS at the x-html display sites.
One shared scoped block (.note-rich, in @layer components so it
outranks base preflight): p+p margin-top, blockquote bar + indent +
secondary color, list markers + padding, pre/code padding + themed bg,
modest heading sizes, underlined links, table borders, em-based so it
scales with each site's text-xs/text-sm context. Applied at all three
display sites: reader notes-drawer rows (replaces the unused
reader-note-rich hook), the 📝 highlight note line, and the banner's
expanded body.
The regenerated _templ.go files also catch up two stale .templ changes
that had shipped without regeneration (the selection popover's Adjust
button, the banner delete ternary) — the Docker build regenerates at
image-build, so the served site always matched the sources.
Verified live (headless Chromium against the dev stack): .note-rich in
the served stylesheet; p+p computed marginTop 9.6px, blockquote 3px
solid border-left, ul disc + 22.4px indent, pre padded + themed bg.
Objective 9 (web half). The selection popover's edit mode gains an
Adjust button: the overlay's show-annotation event stashes the live DOM
range, start/end teardrop handles render over it (host layer above the
iframe), and pointer drags map into the iframe's caretRangeFromPoint.
Snapping: land next to punctuation → the boundary sits exactly there;
land inside a word → the word's edge in the drag direction; whitespace
trims toward the adjacent word. A live preview repaints through the
overlayer under a scratch key; relocation (page turn) cancels safely.
Release recomputes the range CFI + collapsed-end CFI (view.getCFI) and
saves through the popover's own saveHighlightChanges path (PUT +
remove-old/add-new overlay dance), keeping selection_text and the
anchors in lockstep.
Verified live E2E in Brave: extent extended by one word with the
comma/space snap behavior, saved to the server row, handles cleaned;
all snap paths unit-exercised in-page (word end/start, punctuation
exact on both sides, whitespace trim); the test highlight was restored
to its original extent through the same adjust flow (punctuation-precision
drag back to the comma).
Objective 7 (web half). The 'Annotations' button slides a right-hand
banner (annotations_banner.templ + annotations-banner.ts) fed by the
existing per-book GET endpoints: friendly labels (Section N parsed from
the CFI spine / Page N from the PDF envelope / NN% + first-words
fallbacks), capped highlight previews, rich x-html expansion through the
objective-6 markdown pipeline, and per-row 'Open reader here' jumps
riding /readers/:uuid?loc= (consumeLocJump: jump outranks stored
progress for that open; URL stripped before sync can echo it). WEB-ONLY
export: single .md or one-file-per-item zip via fflate — item format
identical both modes ('# friendly label' / '# selection text' headers,
raw markdown bodies, no raw CFIs anywhere).
Verified live in Brave: 12 restored highlights + a markdown note
labeled/expanded correctly; the jump navigated, landed on the right
chapter and consumed ?loc=; export produced the 13-item .md (friendly
headers only) and a valid 13-entry zip. Book-detail's existing
recently-deleted modal stays untouched (banner is additive).
Oversized notes previously failed only at save time, surfacing the
raw backend validator error to the reader. The reader now handles
the limit inline and keeps oversized input editable:
- Live character counter under both note textareas (annotations
drawer "Add a note" and the selection popover note editor),
formatted "12,345/100,000" — muted normally, red once over
- Pasting is never truncated; the full text stays in the textarea
so the reader can shrink it however they see fit
- The three save actions (Add Note, Highlight with note, Save
note) disable while over the limit, with a toast fallback in
addNote / createHighlight / saveHighlightChanges so the guard
holds even outside the disabled-button path
- noteMaxLength mirrors the server-side cap (100,000, see
internal/handlers/media.go) so client and server stay linked
Also truncate note rows in the drawer list — highlight rows
already truncated, but a long note previously stretched the
drawer body.
The resize handle needed no work: .reader-note-input already
ships resize: vertical in the compiled CSS; style.css is rebuilt
only for the new disabled:* utility classes.
Regenerates all *_templ.go files after the templ generate pass (version
stamp updates across the board; functional changes only in
admin_archived_templ.go and admin_library_templ.go, which were committed
with their features). web/static/style.css and web/static/htmx.min.js are
refreshed outputs of npm run build (tailwind pass over the current
templates; htmx copied from the current node_modules version).
Replace the Notes & Highlights 'coming soon' stub with a real modal:
active counts plus a 'Recently deleted' section listing every tombstoned
highlight, note, and bookmark (type badge, deletion time in the user's
timezone, text preview), each with Restore and Delete-permanently
actions. Restore returns the annotation to every synced device; Delete
permanently is confirmed before purging. The list is server-rendered
from MediaDetail.DeletedAnnotations — no fetch on open.
Alpine handlers in book-detail.ts call the new restore/purge endpoints
and reload on success. style.css picks up the line-clamp utilities used
by the text previews.
Phase 4 of the reader redesign (foliate-js ea268df):
- Webtoon mode for comics: continuous vertical scroll of all pages
(900px centered column on wide screens), lazy-loaded with a 150%
IntersectionObserver margin, far pages unloaded to bound memory
with stable aspect-ratio placeholders so the scrollbar never jumps.
Chosen per book (Paged | Webtoon segmented control in Settings →
Layout & Display; stored in localStorage per media item since a
webtoon title and a paged manga volume want different flows).
Toggling reloads the reader — the renderer is chosen at open time —
and progress restores from the saved page. Relocate events flow
through the same pipeline, so the slider, progress saving, back
stack, tap zones, and edge zones all work unchanged. Zoom/fit/
magnifier/spread controls hide in webtoon (natural-width scroll).
- Display filters for fixed-layout: brightness (30-130%) and
contrast (70-130%) sliders with live preview, plus Night Mode
(invert) — also a quick row in the ⋯ tools menu. One --fx-filter
CSS var drives everything: ::part(filter) on foliate-view iframes
(forwarded via the new exportparts attribute) and the webtoon
page images alike. Persisted as fx_brightness/fx_contrast/fx_invert
(types + defaults both sides); Restore Defaults resets them.
Help menu (the reader had a growing shortcut/gesture vocabulary with
no discoverability): a ? topbar button, the '?' key, and F1 open a
glass modal listing navigation, zoom/pan, highlight, and touch
gesture reference — format-aware (fixed-layout/PDF rows appear only
where they apply), Esc closes it first in the dismiss chain.
Desktop edge zones: clickable page-turn strips on the left/right
viewport edges (8% width, 44-72px), desktop only (hover+fine-pointer
media query — touch devices use tap zones, avoiding double paging).
Hovering reveals a chevron arrow and a subtle edge gradient. Zones
disable (pointer-events pass-through) while a fixed-layout page is
zoomed so edge clicks belong to content: panning, selection,
highlight editing. fxZoomed tracks zoom state via the renderer zoom
event, reset/fit actions, and init.
Investigation: the contents drawer read book.toc, which makePDF
builds from pdf.getOutline() — verified against the real library PDF
(Head First SQL) through the exact vendored pdf.js build AND the exact
range transport the browser uses: 18 chapter entries come back. So
the source is right; manga-scan PDFs and CBZs simply have no embedded
outline, which made Contents look broken exactly where users expect
page-based navigation.
- TOC now populates eagerly right after the book opens (toggle-time
lazy population removed), so an existing outline can never silently
miss due to timing; the drawer keeps the honest empty-state text
for books without outlines.
- New 'Pages' tab in the contents drawer for fixed-layout books:
a Kavita-style thumbnail grid (3-up, current page highlighted and
scrolled into view, click to jump — recorded on the back-to-
location stack). Thumbnails render client-side: PDFs via the
in-memory pdf.js document (small viewport render, Alpine.raw
unwrap); comics via the page's image blob drawn down to a 110px
canvas, then unloading the full-size blob so thumbnailling doesn't
hoard page images. Lazy via IntersectionObserver scoped to the
drawer's scroll container (200px margin), canvases cached at module
level so revisits are instant; failures warn in console and allow
retry. The backend /readers/thumbnails endpoint turned out to be an
empty stub, so nothing server-side was worth wiring.
The display:none for the full toolbar lived in @layer components while
the div also carried Tailwind's flex utility (@layer utilities). Layer
order beats specificity, so the utilities layer always won and the
full bar never hid below the breakpoint (the compact row only worked
because it had no display utility of its own).
Switch to Tailwind's own responsive utilities in the markup — full
toolbar 'hidden md:flex', compact row 'flex md:hidden' — and delete
the custom rules; responsive display now resolves inside a single
layer where source order (responsive variants after base) guarantees
the right winner.
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).
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.
- 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.
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
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.
- 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.
