"Open in new tab"

Replace video player with a fully custom fake-fullscreen HUD
Single fullscreen player state everywhere (desktop/Android/iOS/feed) instead of the old modal-vs-native-fullscreen split, with custom controls: draggable timeline with buffered range, dynamically-escalating skip buttons (double-tap zones too), per-video format switching, favorites, PiP with auto-PiP on backgrounding, volume swipe, TikTok-style HUD auto-hide, and swipe-down/ back-button/close-button dismissal. Reels feed reuses the same skip/format/ PiP logic via the new customPlayer.js shared module. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Simon	7207e36510	Replace video player with a fully custom fake-fullscreen HUD Single fullscreen player state everywhere (desktop/Android/iOS/feed) instead of the old modal-vs-native-fullscreen split, with custom controls: draggable timeline with buffered range, dynamically-escalating skip buttons (double-tap zones too), per-video format switching, favorites, PiP with auto-PiP on backgrounding, volume swipe, TikTok-style HUD auto-hide, and swipe-down/ back-button/close-button dismissal. Reels feed reuses the same skip/format/ PiP logic via the new customPlayer.js shared module. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-07-01 19:08:21 +00:00

Simon	1d0b435e87	Overlay duration and uploader on card thumbnails Move the duration (bottom-right) and uploader (bottom-left) onto the thumbnail as dark-transparent pills instead of text rows below it, for both .video-card and .favorite-card. Wrap the thumbnail in .video-thumb to anchor the overlays; uploader stays clickable and truncates with ellipsis. Favorite cards now show duration too (was stored, never shown).

Simon	138c3224de	Add modern UI enhancements over the classic redesign Layered progressive polish on the warm classic + brass theme: - Card entrance animation on first mount (virtualizer-aware) - Cursor-tracking brass spotlight border on cards - Thumbnail skeleton shimmer until the poster paints - Hover video preview after a short dwell (only when formats resolved) - View Transition + blurred-poster ambient backdrop on player open - Favorite heart pop + expanding ring on add - ⌘K command palette (search, theme, density, reels, source/channel) - Scroll-progress bar + back-to-top FAB - Grid density toggle (comfortable/compact) - Reels HUD: serif title, brass scrubber, muted-state pulse All new motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; no JS/HTML structure changes to the core grid/feed. New glue lives in frontend/js/enhance.js. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-06-30 08:25:37 +00:00
