A big UX, theming, and infrastructure release on top of v0.2.0.
Highlights
- Group recommendations rework. New Curate/Discover modes, Group Taste panel, and Consensus Picks. Audience candidates now require every member to influence the score, not just one. Personal ratings drive per-user group scoring under the hood.
- Warm cinema theme. Amber accent on an espresso palette with editorial copy throughout.
- Branding & navigation. Logo in the nav bar and as the favicon; URL-driven media-type selector; rate cards moved out of the Discover feed onto their own surface.
- Richer cards. Expanded metadata on every card, with the rec engine now preserving and enriching source/library rows so the extra detail actually renders.
- Auto-save ratings. Star click saves immediately — no more Save button.
- Ratings management page for reviewing and editing your history in one place.
- User badge personalization (#18) — per-user color/identity in shared views.
Reliability & Performance
- N+1 query batching across the rec engine, history sync, and feed assembly.
- Library sync now resolves missing TMDB IDs via title search.
- Cron metadata cache eviction is wired to
CACHE_METADATA_DAYS;rec_linkscap works across SQLite/Postgres/MariaDB. - Settings de-duplicates the not-interested list by
tmdb_id. - Group member dropdown shows all users regardless of
AUTH_MODE. - Ollama integration fixes; per-iteration cron logs demoted to debug.
- Log output redacts sensitive fields (API keys, tokens, passwords).
Privacy / Self-Hosting
- No external CDN. All CSS, JS, and fonts are served from
src/public/. The browser never contacts a third party — only the server talks to TMDB/Jellyfin/Seerr/Ollama. - Docker image builds Tailwind from source after
COPY src/, so customized layouts ship correctly.
Developer Experience
- Two-tier Forgejo Actions pipeline with a custom CI image.
- Parallel browser test matrix across 9 device tiers (Chromium, WebKit, Firefox — desktop/tablet/phone) via snapshot-based dev stacks.
- Expanded dev bootstrap library (20 movies + 20 TV shows) and seeded Together/Family audiences.
- Added MIT license.
Upgrade Notes
No manual migration steps — schema changes apply automatically on startup. Review

TV shows now appear in the feed
Two bugs conspired to make TV shows invisible. The rate queue used a single
LIMIT 30query sorted by vote average — high-rated movies consumed all 30
slots. TV shows now get their own top-30 pool, so both types are always
represented.Redesigned feed layout
The Movies / TV Shows tabs have moved to the top of the page. Each tab now
owns a complete experience: a For You strip of in-library recommendations
followed by the Discover feed. Previously For You was a single mixed strip
above a tabbed Discover section.Rating fixes
- "Haven't seen it" (★×0) no longer blocks recommendations. A skip vote
was being treated as a preference signal and evicting items from the scored
pool. It no longer does. - Watched-but-unrated items return to the rate queue after playback. Items
played in Jellyfin are now cleared of their skip flag on history sync, so
they surface for rating. - Watched items are no longer hidden from the rate queue entirely. Excluding
all watch history meant watched TV shows could never be rated, making TV
recommendations structurally impossible.
Structured logging
All application layers (feed, rec engine, Jellyfin sync, Seerr, cron jobs,
routes) now emit structured JSON logs via pino, withmoduleand
request-scoped fields. Log level is controlled by theLOG_LEVELenv var.Leaner Docker image
The runtime image no longer depends on
tsx. TypeScript is compiled to
plain JS in a multi-stage build; the final image runsnode dist/src/app.js
directly, cutting image size and removing a dev dependency from the attack
surface.Downloads
