Inspired by a dashboard design the user shared.
- App: new palette and fonts, borderless rounded panels with soft shadows, a pink-to-blue
gradient card for your own song (text and controls switch to white on it), flat cards for
friends, a 'Hi Chris, welcome back' header, an outline bell, and a pink pill on the active tab.
- Website: the same look, plus a wide-screen layout with a sidebar, the page in a rounded panel,
and a right column with your profile, recent activity and recent plays. Phones keep the top
bar and bottom tabs.

- Anyone who can see a play can read its comments; the player and the people they follow can write.
The author, the player and admins can delete; comments can be reported (admins see the text).
- Notifications: "commented on" for the player, "replied on" for earlier commenters, each with its
own setting. Reaction and comment notifications now open the play.
- A 💬 chip with the count next to reactions on the feed and recent plays, opening the thread on
the app (/play/[id]) and the website. Threads refresh every few seconds while open.
- Blocking removes comments between the two people. Plays with comments survive history trimming.
- Privacy page updated.

Expo's fetch rejects React Native's { uri, name, type } FormData parts ("Unsupported FormDataPart
implementation"), so every upload failed. Upload an expo-file-system File instead, shrunk to 1024 px
first. The server also takes bigger photos (25 MB, sharp's default pixel limit) and logs why a
picture couldn't be read.

The feed's itemLayoutAnimation left the cards behind when the header above them shrank
(your own card's lyrics loading). LRCLIB rate-limits /api/get on its own; fall back to search.

- API: GET /app/android/latest reads the latest Gitea release (ANDROID_RELEASES_URL, optional token for a
private repo) with the APK's SHA-256 from SHA256SUMS; GET /app/android/apk/:name streams that APK.
- App (modules/updater): downloads in the background, checks the SHA-256, and installs through
PackageInstaller: quietly once when leaving the app (Android 12+), otherwise from the feed banner or
Settings > App version. F-Droid builds leave it out and drop the install permissions.
- CI: the release notes come from the fastlane changelog; the app shows the part above ---.
- Settings: Create-account and Link Spotify buttons for Last.fm and ListenBrainz.

Reactions to your songs, new followers, and songs sent to you are now
notifications: a bell on the feed (app and website) with an unread
count that updates live, and a list that marks them read. "Send ✉" on
a song sends it to people who follow you, with an optional note.
Settings picks which kinds to be notified about.
Push delivery uses no third-party accounts:
- Android: UnifiedPush through a distributor app (ntfy), pointed at
our own ntfy server (docker-compose.ntfy.yml). Works the same in
the F-Droid build; no Firebase.
- Browsers: standard Web Push from the existing service worker.
Both use Web Push encryption with a VAPID key pair the server makes
and keeps in the database. Push addresses are checked like any other
user-supplied URL. Setup is in docs/PUSH.md; the privacy page covers
the new data.

Songs offered links to all five services. Settings now has "Your music
services": pick the ones you use and songs only show those, with the
main one as the big button. Until someone picks, they still see all of
them. Onboarding sets it to the app you said you listen with.

The app's Friends tab was only a search box. It now lists Following and
Followers (with Follow / Remove buttons) until you type a search. The
website gets the same Friends page and tab; search moves there from the
top of the feed.

- License: AGPL-3.0-or-later (LICENSE, every package.json, README).
- MUSICSHARE_FOSS=1 builds leave out the only closed-source code, Google's
ML Kit / Play Services barcode scanner bundled by expo-camera; the scan
screen then decodes small camera snapshots with jsQR instead.
- Expo modules build from source rather than from precompiled AARs, as
F-Droid requires (that's also what makes the scanner switch take effect).
Verified: a FOSS build contains no ML Kit or Play Services classes.
- Release builds default to the production server, and come out unsigned
without our upload key (F-Droid signs with its own). versionCode 1.
- Store listing in fastlane/metadata/android, a draft fdroiddata recipe in
fdroid/, and docs/FDROID.md with the submission steps.

The feed only listed people who had played something, so following
someone who hadn't connected a service yet looked like it did nothing.
Under the feed, a "Following" row now shows everyone else you follow,
linking to their profiles, and the empty message says why it's empty.

- Web header is just the logo and Feed / Profile / Settings (current page
highlighted). On phones those move to a bottom tab bar. Log out, Admin
and Support moved into Settings.
- The bottom of Settings (web and app) is now one Account list: email,
password, blocked accounts, admin, support, privacy, terms, log out and
delete, each a row that opens in place (web) or a screen (app).
- Featured song shows what's featured now, with Change and Remove.

/privacy and /terms describe what the app actually collects and shows
(public profiles and listening, 50 recent plays, encrypted service tokens,
stripped profile pictures, Android reader scope, song lookups that carry no
identity, 14-day backups, 13+), linked from a web footer, the sign-up
forms and mobile Settings.

- Sign-up emails a confirmation link (24h); unconfirmed accounts see a
banner on the web with "send it again", and status in Settings.
- Change email (needs the password): the new address gets a confirmation
link and only replaces the old one once clicked; the old address gets a
heads-up with a reset-password link. Pending changes can be cancelled.
- Change password (needs the current one): signs out other sessions.
- Password fields have Show/Hide on web and mobile.

Web and mobile:
- Follower/following lists (tap the counts), with Follow buttons and
"Remove" on your own followers.
- Profile ⋯ menu: block (with confirmation) / unblock, and report with a
reason and optional note. "Follows you" label, "Follow back", and a
banner on profiles you've blocked.
- Blocked accounts list in Settings, with unblock.
Web only: /admin for the admin account: stats, open/resolved reports,
resolve, suspend/unsuspend.

"Forgot your password?" on web and mobile sends a one-time link (1 hour)
to the account's email; the website's reset page sets the new password,
signs out every other session and signs in. The request responds the same
whether or not the email has an account, and the email goes out in the
background so timing doesn't reveal it either. Only a hash of the link
token is stored. Sends through SMTP_* settings; without them, emails are
logged (and captured in tests).

- Upload a profile picture on web and mobile. The API square-crops it to
512px WebP, strips metadata (phone photos carry GPS), stores it in
Postgres and serves it with immutable caching. Avatar URLs are stored as
paths, so they survive moving the API. Arbitrary avatar URLs are no
longer accepted (they'd let a profile track its viewers).
- New accounts get the username as typed as their display name; existing
accounts are backfilled, and clearing it falls back to the username.
- Service names in Settings get a brand-coloured badge and larger type.

- Redesign matching the web: album-art backdrops, Reanimated equalizer,
spinning live ring, drifting ambient background, gradient buttons with
spring press feedback and haptics, Space Grotesk headings, animated feed
(enter + layout transitions); fix invisible tab labels
- Four-step onboarding for new accounts: which app you listen with (sets
where songs open), the matching share setup, find friends (search,
scan, invite), and a featured song. Skippable; stored server-side
- QR codes: My code (share link) and an in-app scanner (camera only, no
microphone permission)
- Spotify setup via Last.fm or ListenBrainz with guided linking; Android
shares Spotify automatically through the phone reader
- New logo as app icon, adaptive/monochrome icon and splash
- app.config.ts allows cleartext only for local http:// test builds

- Every feature is free for everyone (the plan system stays for later);
remaining limits are abuse guards
- Optional website donation link (NEXT_PUBLIC_DONATION_URL). Not shown in
the mobile apps, where tips to the developer generally need in-app
purchase
- Last.fm/ListenBrainz-sourced plays link to the user's profile, as
Last.fm's API terms require
- Connections track when they last saw activity; a scrobbler silent for
over a week prompts re-linking Spotify (its link expires every 6 months)

- Local Expo module (Swift): MusicKit authorization, Music User Token via
MusicUserTokenProvider, and live Music app now-playing while the app is
open (MediaPlayer notifications), reported through the device endpoint
- One-tap Apple Music onboarding on iOS; Apple Music row in Settings
- Sign in with Last.fm, plus a guided Spotify-via-Last.fm flow when direct
Spotify sign-in is capped
- Device registration moved to shared code used by Android and iOS
Not yet compiled for iOS (no Xcode here); needs an EAS build.

A local Expo module listens to system media sessions (the only way
Android exposes other apps' playback, gated by notification access; we
never read notifications). It filters to known music apps, debounces and
deduplicates changes, sends a heartbeat while playing, and delivers
reports through WorkManager so they survive the app being closed.
- One-screen onboarding that doubles as Google Play's prominent
disclosure, opening straight to the app's toggle in Android settings
- Only media notifications are pre-ticked on that settings screen
- Device registration is single-flight (several screens react to the
same permission change) and self-heals if the server revokes a token
- Sign-out revokes the phone's token; resuming sharing re-sends the
current track immediately
- Pause controls in Settings and on the feed
- Fix invisible tab icons and labels on Android
- Keep Metro out of build output so it doesn't exhaust file watchers

Native tabs for feed, friend search, profile and settings, with feature
parity with the web app. Sessions are stored in SecureStore, realtime
disconnects in the background, and Spotify/Plex sign-in returns to the app
via the URL scheme.
