Four nice-to-have items, plus surfacing the upload date in both UIs
since the user explicitly asked.
Upload date display
- Desktop: card meta row now includes a `YYYY-MM-DD` cell between the
ID and the duration; detail panel header shows it as `📅 YYYY-MM-DD`.
- Web: video player modal title gains a date+duration subline so the
viewer has context without opening the metadata pane (card meta
already shows the date).
- New `format_upload_date()` helper on the desktop side; the web side
reuses the existing `fmtDate()` JS.
Extract HTML_UI to include_str!
- `LOGIN_HTML` and `HTML_UI` moved out of `src/web.rs` into
`src/web_ui/login.html` and `src/web_ui/index.html`. The Rust file
drops from 2915 lines to 1806; editors now syntax-highlight the
HTML/CSS/JS, and UI diffs no longer overwhelm the Rust diff view.
- `include_str!` bakes them into the binary at compile time, so there
is no runtime fs lookup and no extra deploy artifacts.
Twitch clips-only mode
- `classify_twitch` now recognises `twitch.tv/<user>/clips` as a
Channel URL (was Unknown), so yt-dlp's TwitchClips extractor is
reachable from our normal download pipeline.
- Both UIs gain a "Clips only" toggle visible only when the URL is
a Twitch channel (not a specific VOD/clip). On submit, the URL is
rewritten to `twitch.tv/<user>/clips` before dispatch.
- 1 new platform test covers the clips-listing classification.
DB connection pool (r2d2_sqlite)
- `Database` now wraps an `r2d2`-managed SQLite pool. File-backed
databases get up to 4 connections; the in-memory fallback is capped
at 1 (since each in-memory connection is a fresh empty DB by default
in SQLite).
- `WebState.db` drops its outer `Mutex` — concurrent handlers each
check out their own connection from the pool. Static-file fetches
through `/files/` no longer serialize on the watched/positions/
password lookups that the auth middleware performs.
- Pool init failures are converted to `rusqlite::Error` so the
existing `Result<T>` return types still work.
47 unit tests pass.

- Full-scan download toggle: omits --break-on-existing so all unarchived
videos are fetched regardless of order, filling gaps in partial archives
- Filter "Aborting remaining downloads" from job logs (break-on-existing noise)
- Password hash moved from config.toml to SQLite settings table; survives
git checkouts and rebuilds. config.toml and yt-offline.db added to .gitignore;
config auto-generated on first run if absent
- Channel re-check URLs derived from folder name (/@handle or /channel/UCxxx)
instead of info.json's canonical channel_url, preventing duplicate UCxxx folders
- SRT subtitles detected by library scanner and served via /api/sub-vtt/* endpoint
that converts to WebVTT on the fly; browser <track> element can now play them
- Cookie clear button in both desktop and web UI (DELETE /api/cookies)
- Per-job X close button on finished download jobs in desktop GUI
- Fix widget ID clash when multiple download jobs are shown (push_id per job)
- Watched videos excluded from Continue Watching list and badge count
- settings table added to SQLite schema (key/value store)

Features:
- Port all 7 desktop themes (Dracula, Trans, Emo variants, etc.) to the web UI
- Configurable bind interface (localhost/Tailscale/LAN/all) with detected IPs,
settable from both the web UI and desktop GUI
- Optional password that gates the whole UI and all API access via session
cookies (Argon2), with a login page, logout, and middleware; settable from
both UIs
- Library maintenance: scan for duplicate video IDs and missing assets
(thumbnail/info.json/description), remove duplicates (scan-and-confirm, with
out-of-library path guard), and re-fetch missing sidecars via yt-dlp.
Surfaced in both the web UI and a desktop GUI window.
Optimizations / cleanup:
- Cache has_chapters at scan time (library.rs) instead of re-reading and
parsing every info.json on each /api/library request
- Use the cached channel size in get_library
- Pool a single SQLite connection in WebState instead of opening one per request
- Remove a 1.2 GB stray nested src/yt-offline duplicate tree
Fixes:
- Rescan no longer clears all thumbnail textures (caused thumbnails to unload);
prune only removed entries and bump library_generation so the card grid
refreshes correctly

Web UI:
- Replace SSE with simple 600ms polling (GET /api/progress) — SSE added
complexity with no real benefit for a local tool and was the source of
connection failures
- Poll task moved into request handler (dl.poll() on each /api/progress call)
so no background goroutine needed; simplifies state greatly
- Remove tokio-stream dependency (no longer needed)
- Fix: create channels dir before opening DB in web serve()
- Rescan also refreshes watched set from DB
- Bulk watched, sort, channel download button all working in web UI
Sort labels:
- Rename "Dur ↑" / "Dur ↓" → "Shortest" / "Longest"
- Rename "Size ↑" / "Size ↓" → "Smallest" / "Largest"
Channel right-click context menu:
- Right-click any channel in sidebar → "Check for new videos" starts a
yt-dlp job on the stored channel_url from its info.json
- Also shows "Open folder" shortcut
- Grayed out with tooltip if no URL is stored yet (channel has no info.json)

License:
- GPL3 → AGPL3
New features:
- Web interface (--web [port]): axum/tokio server with SSE progress, library browser,
download trigger, watched toggle; embedded single-page HTML/JS UI
- Desktop notifications via notify-rust when downloads complete or fail
- Continue Watching sidebar entry showing videos with saved resume positions
- Bulk select mode: select multiple videos, mark all watched/unwatched at once
- Storage stats: channel disk usage shown in sidebar next to video count
- Scheduled channel checks: configurable interval (hours), auto re-downloads all
tracked channels using channel_url from info.json; enabled in Settings
Theme fixes:
- Scene Queen: remove override_text_color so active button text uses fg_stroke
(dark navy on neon green) instead of near-white — fixes unreadable contrast
- Trans: override_text_color → hot pink #cc0066 for pink-tinted text throughout
Settings additions:
- Auto-check channels toggle + interval_hours DragValue
- Web UI port setting

- library.rs: scans channels/<name>/ into channels + videos by filename stem
- downloader.rs: runs yt-dlp in a background thread, streams progress to the UI
- app.rs / main.rs: channel sidebar, searchable thumbnail list, detail/description
panel, downloads panel; plays videos via mpv (falls back to xdg-open)
