- 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.

Feed and profile cards now show one slim line (small artwork, title,
artist, Open button) with the progress bar and reactions. The arrow
opens the rest: album, your other services, Share, and lyrics.
Lyrics come from LRCLIB (open source; LRCLIB_URL can point at a
self-hosted copy, or be empty to turn lyrics off). The server looks each
song up once and caches it, including misses (retried after a week).
Timed lyrics follow along with the song; otherwise the first lines show
with "All lyrics".

React to a friend's current song or any of their recent plays: tap an
emoji to add yours (or take it back), "☺+" for the quick six, and a full
picker with search and categories (Unicode emoji up to 13.1, generated
into the shared package so web and mobile match). One reaction per person
per play; a new one replaces the old. Chips show counts and, on hover/
long label, who reacted; yours is highlighted. Listeners and followers get
the update live. Not on your own plays, not across a block (blocking also
clears reactions between the two people).

- Feed and profile cards show a progress bar with elapsed/total time, only
when the source reports a real position (Plex, Jellyfin, the Android
reader). It ticks locally between updates. Apple Music's guessed
position is no longer reported.
- The Android reader advances MediaSession's stale position to now, stamps
when it was read (the server corrects for upload delay), and reports
seeks. The server pushes an update to watchers when a position jumps.
- When a polled source says where in the song someone is, the next poll is
scheduled just after the song ends (never sooner than 5s), instead of
waiting out the full interval.

- 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)

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.
