gerbeur

components

v4: the instance fields ask for a URL — the login page's field read "Its address, like music.example" and /manage's "An instance's address, like music.example", an example that named no instance of the reader's. They now read "Your gerbeur's URL" and "An instance's URL".

config

v4: a deployment chooses which ways federated sign-in goes — every instance took users of the others and let its own sign in to them, with no way to turn either off. GERBEUR_FEDERATION_INCOMING=0 keeps users of other instances out: the login and register pages offer no other instance, /manage no list of instances, their sign-ins are refused, and those already in are signed out until it is on again, their homes' events still applied meanwhile. GERBEUR_FEDERATION_OUTGOING=0 keeps the instance's users from signing in elsewhere: its /authorize page lets no instance sign them in, its metadata says so (gerbeur_outgoing), which other instances check before sending anyone there, the settings page lists no instances, and at startup every grant is withdrawn, which signs them out there. Both are on by default and reach the client through index.html. The dev instance gerbeur (:3000) takes no users of the others, while its own still sign in to them.

contexts

v4: an audio file's waveform is made once by the server, and the player seeks on one accessible scrubber — every player downloaded the whole file a second time and decoded all of it in the browser to draw 150 bars, so a long FLAC cost tens of megabytes of memory per page, and the waveform could only be clicked: no drag, no keyboard, no slider for a screen reader. GET /api/dumps/:id/waveform now answers an audio dump's peaks, which lib/ffmpeg.ts decodes with ffmpeg on first request, mono at 8 kHz and streamed, keeps beside the thumbnails as the response itself, and serves with an ETag (a ten-minute MP3 takes about a second, then a few hundred bytes). The peaks are taken by shared/waveform.ts's peaksOf, scaled to the loudest so a quiet recording fills the track, and the dump form's preview of a file not yet uploaded decodes it with the same function, at 8 kHz in an OfflineAudioContext. Scrubber replaces Waveform and SeekBar: a role="slider" that seeks where a pointer lets go, follows a drag (the clock shows where it is held), takes arrows, Home and End, and draws the bars as one path with the played part clipped by a nested svg, so it moves smoothly and a timeupdate redraws two attributes instead of 150 rects; audio without a waveform, and video, get a plain bar. MediaPlayer reads whether it plays from the element's events alone, so a click no longer reports the change twice, its handles for PlayerProvider are stable callbacks instead of refs to refs, the drag no longer reattaches every listener, and the <source> children that src made dead are gone, with the mime prop. The file, thumbnail and waveform routes resolve their dump, token and caching through lib/dump-media.ts, and what is generated from an upload is named and removed in lib/ffmpeg.ts, the custom thumbnail by dump-service's customThumbnailPath, instead of paths spelled out in each. The test setup's play() and pause() fire their events as a browser does. 277 backend tests and 684 frontend tests pass, and deno check, tsc, eslint, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in the app with a real FLAC on its dump page and in the global player at 1280 and 390px, seeking by keyboard.

hooks

v4: a profile's lists of dumps can be narrowed to a category — /@name/dumps and /@name/upvoted showed every dump, with no way to see only those filed under one category, as the index can. The title row of each list now has the index's category menu, and the category picked goes in the URL as ?category=<slug>, which the other list keeps and every other tab drops (a path segment would collide with /@name/dumps/<slug>, a dump's own page). GET /api/users/:key/dumps and /upvoted take ?category= as the followed feed does, an unknown slug answering an empty list; resolveCategoryFilter moves to category-service.ts for both. useUserDumpFeed passes everything the socket changes through the category, so a dump edited out of it leaves and an upvote outside it doesn't come in. CategorySwitcher now reports the category picked to its owner (onSelect) instead of navigating to the index's path itself, and the divider after it in the index's tab row is drawn by CSS, so the profile gets none. useTabParam's setter takes the query string to go to, the current one by default.

test

v4: link previews are read once, in one place, and no longer take an error page, a relative image or a mask icon for the page's — each provider fetched its page and scanned it with regular expressions of its own, the generic one some fifteen times, and Bandcamp and SoundCloud read only OG tags. fetchPage (remote/fetch.ts) now fetches every page, follows redirects to the address it was served from, and refuses an error status, so a 404 or a bot challenge is unreachable rather than a preview titled "Just a moment...", and a refresh no longer overwrites good metadata with it. parsePage (remote/html.ts) reads it in one linear pass with a real attribute reader: unquoted values, a > inside quotes, og: tags under name as well as property, and nothing from comments or scripts. Every URL a page names is resolved against where it was served from, so a relative og:image works; entities are decoded in one pass, é and ’ included, and one that names no character no longer fails the preview (bandcamp-tralbum.ts shares the decoder). The mask icon is no longer the favicon, JSON-LD prefers the page's node over the site's, tracking pixels and lazy placeholders aren't thumbnails, an og:url with a slug keeps the OG tags, and a <title> loses its site suffix. genericPreview is the base of the Bandcamp, SoundCloud and YouTube channel previews; SoundCloud takes www., m. and on.soundcloud.com short links, embedding the page they lead to, and Bandcamp keeps only its own player. The service tidies every preview: text on one line, titles and descriptions capped, only http(s) images and players. RichContent.type is now RichContentType, and the unused videoId is gone.

themes

v4: the avatar menu shows at every width and holds Log out, so a profile keeps only Invite; the profile's dump cards lay out again — your own profile had four buttons in a row, Invite someone, Settings, Manage and Log out, Invite taller than the rest, and on wide screens it was the only way to reach /settings or /manage. The avatar menu now leads the header's icon row at every width, after the name and Playlists text links on wide screens, and ends with Log out under a separator, muted until hovered. The profile keeps Invite someone alone. The menu's button outweighs .app-header-nav button and the themes' button rules (Brutalist and GeoCities list it among their flat buttons), so it reads as one of the menu's links. Since b9ff9c4, a card under 472px is laid out by the narrow-card container query, but the profile columns' dense-card rules still placed the thumb, body and vote themselves, more specifically: the thumb lost its row span, so the title fell under it and every card was a tall, mostly empty box. Those rules now only make the card denser (a smaller thumb, a 2-line title, smaller type) and leave placement to the container query. 670 frontend tests pass, and tsc, eslint, deno fmt, doc:lint and i18n:compile --strict are clean; checked in screenshots in Smooth dark at 1400 and 390px, Brutalist light at 390px, GeoCities light and Kanagawa dark at 1400px, in French.

utils

v4: federated sign-in closes the holes a review found — a callback link made from someone else's sign-in signed the visitor in to that account, a password reset left the user's sessions on other instances open, and events could be lost, reordered or delayed. FederatedSignIn keeps the sign-in's state in sessionStorage (utils/auth/federation.ts) and FederationCallback finishes only a sign-in this tab started. A password reset tells the instances the user signed in to, as a change does. The outbox delivers each instance's events in the order they were made, the first that fails holding back the rest, so a late older update no longer undoes a newer one, and delivers to every instance at once, so a dead one delays none of the others; an event queued during a run is sent by it.

App.css

v4: the settings' controls line up down the page — each card of /settings was a grid of its own, its label column as wide as its longest label, so the controls began at a different place in every card, and the other instances, a grid inside their card, at yet another. Every card of settings now has a label column of one width, 10rem, a longer label wrapping, and a list such as GrantList, the card's one child, takes the card's rows: their padding, their rules, their columns.

App.tsx

v4: users sign in to one gerbeur instance with their account on another — topic instances, each with its own admins, domain and data, had no way to share accounts. Sign-in is federated over a subset of OpenID Connect, the authorization code flow with PKCE: each instance is an identity provider for its own users and a client for the others', and signs what it tells them with an Ed25519 key kept in federation_keys and published at /.well-known/jwks.json, beside its metadata at /.well-known/openid-configuration. Only sign-in is federated: an account from another instance is a local users row linked to (issuer, subject) in user_identities, with no password (password_hash ''), so sessions, roles, permissions, the socket and every foreign key work as before.

fonts.css

v3: dependencies upgraded and deno audit clean, every API response typed end to end, no explicit any left — and the site search stops handing out password hashes — deno audit reported 19 advisories (11 high); none remain. nodemailer 9 → 10.0.10 closes four of them (a quadratic address parser, two recipient-domain allow-list bypasses, resolveContent ignoring disableFileAccess/disableUrlAccess); 10's one break is Node ≥ 20, and 10.0.11 is a day too young for the minimum release age. react-router 8.0.1 → 8.4.0 closes the RSC-mode CSRF bypass. Refreshing the lockfile clears the transitive ones that came in through Vite, ESLint and Lingui: postcss, nanoid, picomatch, browserslist, brace-expansion and baseline-browser-mapping. Everything else moves to its latest too — Lingui 6.8 (its SWC plugin 6.7), React 19.3, Vite 8.3.1, react-hook-form 7.89, marked, jose, ESLint 10.11, typescript-eslint 8.70, the @types — and frimousse 0.3 → 0.4, whose declarations only add (custom emoji data resolvers, a cache). TypeScript stays on 6.0: typescript-eslint supports < 6.1, so 7.0 would stop the lint. allowScripts names @swc/core 1.16.2 and drops esbuild, which Vite 8 no longer installs.

i18n.ts

v4: weekly digests and monthly recaps go out by email, every email is written once as Markdown in the app's one catalog, and a review of the last two commits removes what they stated twice — users get a weekly digest (what happened to them, what the people and playlists they follow posted, the week's top dumps, the community) and a monthly recap (the month's top dumps and the community), both on by default, in their own style and scheme. digest-service sends what is due every quarter of an hour from digest_schedule (migration 0020), which holds each user's rolling 7- or 30-day period; existing users' first periods are spread over the coming week or month, a digest more than a period late covers the last full one, an empty one isn't sent, and an address like admin@localhost is skipped. Each digest carries a one-click unsubscribe (List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post, POST /api/users/unsubscribe) and a link to the new /unsubscribe page, which asks before turning that cadence off, since mail scanners open every link; the token (lib/jwt) names the user and the cadence and never expires. The welcome email now says the digests are on. The emails' words moved out of a hand-written api/mail/strings.ts into the Lingui catalogs the interface uses: lingui extracts api/mail/ too, the catalogs moved to a top-level locales/ that both halves read, compile emits ES modules the server imports (api/mail/i18n.ts), messages take ICU plurals, and the labels the settings tab, the unsubscribe page and the emails share are one message each (their French had already drifted apart). Each template writes its email once as Markdown, which is the plain-text part, and EmailKit.render draws its blocks in the style (a lone link is a button, a list item starting with an image a thumbnail row, a numbered list a ranking, --- the footer), so no string is declared for an HTML and a text version; user text is escaped for Markdown, which the welcome body didn't do for usernames, whose _ read as emphasis. paint() set colors before a border-top shorthand that reset them, so every divider was black. The review also gave one home to what was written twice: the locale list (shared/locale.ts, read by lingui.config, the client, the server and its catalog loader), the base style and default scheme (shared/theme.ts), an email's look (lookOf, which digest-service, welcome and reset share), whether email is on (EMAIL_ENABLED, read by email-service and index.html), a setting's column and its default in the digests' SQL (SETTINGS_COLUMNS, DEFAULT_SETTINGS), the unsubscribe token (made once, not parsed back from a URL), AuthProvider's compare-and-store, ThemeProvider's twin style and scheme code (useThemeChoice), the test JWT encoder, and duplicate digest messages. The email palettes stay a flattened copy of the themes' tokens, now under a test that caught Times' secondary and link colors drifting. The Dockerfile copies api/mail and locales so the build extracts the emails' messages and the server finds its catalogs, and deno.json maps @lingui/core for the runtime image. 236 backend tests (new: digest building, sending, catch-up, scheduling and unsubscribing; the Markdown renderer; French from the catalog; palettes against themes; the stagger migration; unsubscribe tokens) and 661 frontend tests (new: the unsubscribe page) pass, and tsc, eslint, doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and deno fmt are clean.

index.css

v3: modals stop shifting the page — scroll lock moves to <html> and holds the scrollbar's gutter only while locked (and only if a bar was showing), shared by Modal and ConfirmModal with stacked-lock counting; scrollbars take a theme-tinted thumb, inner scrollers go thin and contain their overscroll

2026-09-19 21:12:19 +00:00

main.tsx

v3: comments say what the code can't — the documentation pass wanted JSDoc on every export and every field of an exported interface, which filled the code with restatements ("The dump.", "Whether it is loading.", "The props of X.", "Renders the X.") and module docs that told a reader nothing ("The hot and new feeds, and the props every main feed of the index takes."); some were wrong as well as vague. Every comment in api/, shared/ and src/ is rewritten under one rule, now stated in the README's "Comments" section: every module and export still has a JSDoc, and it gives context (who uses it and where), usage (what a caller must know: a precondition, what it leaves to the caller, a side effect) or its place in the chain (where its input comes from, where its output goes); a field, parameter, private function or local gets one only when it adds to its parent's, and context about a whole type goes on the type; a type's doc is phrased from the value's side ("Returned to Y by X when Z", "Passed to Y by X"); full sentences, as short as they can be, no label-colon-list; // goes wherever the code isn't obvious and says why, and the section banners and narration go. Every claim was checked against the code, which turned up some forty comments that were wrong: DumpCard's claimed it was only used by the hot and new feeds, the WebSocket welcome claimed to be a socket's first message (presence comes first), UpdateUserRequest said null removes a description (it keeps it), deletedDumpIds leaves out that it also holds dumps made private, THEME_COLOR claimed to mirror index.html's, and the like. The routers' JSDoc now says where they are mounted and what becomes of a thrown APIException. doc-lint.ts lets a field without a doc through; a module or export without one still fails. No code changes; 204 backend and 628 frontend tests pass, and doc:lint, deno check, deno lint and tsc are clean.

tokens.css

v4: the header's controls are line icons, and the avatar leads them — 🔍, ✕, 💬 and 🔔 were four emoji in four palettes beside the avatar and the "+", none of them the theme's. They are now stroked icons (NavIcons.tsx, which the search bar's submit and ChatFab share) in the text colour, their bodies washed with the accent; the wash deepens on hover, and fills while something is unread, with a small dot in place of the red count (the count stays in the button's label and the tab's title, and ChatFab keeps its own). Themes set the line through --nav-icon-stroke, -linecap, -linejoin and -tint-strength: Brutalist heavy and square-cut, Times hairline in ink (its grayscale filter no longer needed on them), GeoCities fat and soaked. The search toggle was a ghost button with its own hover; it now shares the chat button's and the bell's rule, background and borders in every theme. The avatar sat among the icons, its hover box larger than theirs and 1.5px higher (a block .user-menu left a line-box gap under the inline-flex trigger): it now leads the row, where the name and Playlists links stand on wide screens, so the icons run unbroken to the "+"; it is 32px, and hover rings it with the accent instead of a box. 669 frontend tests pass, and tsc, eslint and deno fmt are clean; checked in screenshots in all six styles, light and dark, at 390px, at rest and unread, and Smooth and Brutalist at 1280px.
