* feat(docs): improve search UX
- Hide the 'Search by Pagefind' branding in the search dialog footer
- Replace the 'No results found.' message shown before any query with a
friendly hint (detected via empty-input :placeholder-shown state)
- Tune placeholder, empty-state, and results-heading copy; show a few
sub-section matches per result (pageResultCount)
* docs: replace double-dash em-dash substitute with single dash
Swept prose ' -- ' to ' - ' and numeric ranges (e.g. 2--20 to 2-20)
across the documentation. CLI flags and code blocks left untouched.
* fix(landing): show colored category icons on modality tool pages
The /tools/<modality>/ pages rendered bare name+description cards with no
icon or color. Port the colored, category-tinted icon card from /tools/
so modality pages match the main catalog (icon, tint, 'Learn more').
Update README, in-app privacy page, landing privacy page, and
deployment docs to reflect the new analytics model. Remove references
to opt-in consent, Settings toggle, and ANALYTICS_ENABLED env var.
Document the SNAPOTTER_ANALYTICS build arg for disabling.
- Recolor banner/wordmark SVGs to the Otter Orange palette with brand fonts
- Rebuild social-preview.png as a hero-style OG card (trust badges, headline, five modality cards with section counts), synced to apps/landing + apps/web og-image.png
- Replace static dashboard PNGs with dashboard.gif: a guided tab tour of all 157 tools across the five modalities
- Update branding/README.md (Otter Palette, brand fonts, asset list); add scripts/branding generator + sync helpers
Fetch landing stars + image pulls at build time via a shared stats lib, refreshed by a daily cron + authenticated GITHUB_TOKEN. Image Pulls totals live Docker Hub pull_count + a maintained GHCR estimate (ghcr.io has no public pull-count API).
The Astro Dev Toolbar (enabled by default in dev mode) injects h1
elements ("No islands detected", "Audit", "Settings") and a
"Community" link inside its shadow DOM. Playwright CSS selectors
pierce shadow DOM, causing 6 test failures:
- 5 heading-hierarchy tests saw extra h1 elements from the toolbar
- footer "Community" column title resolved to 2 elements (footer h4
plus toolbar's Astro community chat link)
Root-cause fix: set PLAYWRIGHT=1 env var in the Playwright webServer
command; Astro config conditionally disables devToolbar when set.
Normal development retains the toolbar.
- tests/e2e/helpers.ts: build the sharp script path via JSON.stringify
instead of single-quote-only replace (CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization,
high: backslashes were not escaped). Proper fix, no suppression.
- landing CategoryCards: rename the file-modality marketing card to
"File Tools" (matches the Image/Video/Audio Tools siblings and is
unique vs the 23 "Files" tool pills, which broke the e2e locator).
Modality label stays "Files" everywhere it is the actual modality.
#280 left 10 section-prefixed custom-route files mis-indented and one
unsorted import block in the new landing section-index page. Fixed via
biome formatter (api) and manual import sort (landing). No config change
(biome.json is hook-protected); no suppression. pnpm lint + typecheck
now exit 0.
The fifth user-facing group is now Image, Video, Audio, PDF, Files
(internal modality id stays "file"; section.ts "files" was already
"Files"). Updates modality.ts label + comment, all 21 i18n locales
(categories.data "Data Files"->"Files", modalities.documentsAndFiles
"PDF & Data"->"PDF & Files", dead homePage.data), landing cards/hero
search/tools filter, docs headings, and e2e modality-tab assertions
(/^Data/ -> /^Files/, which had been failing).
Bump all workspace package versions and APP_VERSION to 2.0.0, marking the
official 2.0 release. Removes the stale 1.x .release-notes.md artifact
(semantic-release regenerates release notes). The 2.0/multimodality docs
and rebrand already landed on main via #254 and #261, so this carries only
the version designation forward from the rebrand branch.
BREAKING CHANGE: SnapOtter 2.0 - the platform re-architecture (Postgres 17 +
Redis 8 + BullMQ durable jobs, 157 tools across five modalities) is the 2.0
release line, replacing the 1.x SQLite single-container architecture.
Bump astro ^5.8.0 -> ^6.4.7, @astrojs/sitemap ^3.3.0 -> ^3.7.3, @astrojs/check ^0.9.0 -> ^0.9.9.
The landing uses none of the Astro APIs removed in v6 (no Astro.glob, ViewTransitions, or content collections), so no code changes were required. Astro 6 runs on the repo's existing Vite 8 (the monorepo is already on Vite 8 via the shared override).
Verified: landing build (165 pages) + astro check (0 errors); full monorepo build/typecheck/lint all pass; homepage renders correctly.
* docs: rebrand from image-only to multi-modality across docs and metadata
SnapOtter expanded from image-only to 157 tools across 5 modalities
(image, video, audio, document/PDF, data). Update all product-level
copy, metadata, and i18n that still framed it as an image-only tool.
- README, package.json, root llms.txt: multi-modality framing, 157 tools
- OpenAPI info + tags, generated /llms.txt tagline (docs.ts)
- VitePress docs site: hero, getting-started, architecture, security,
deployment, configuration, developer, supported-formats
- i18n: 10 product keys across all 21 locales (hero, app description,
privacy notes, AI features, progress messages, getting-started)
- web/demo/landing meta + privacy copy, COMMUNITY_GUIDE, .env.example
Stale tool counts (53/50+/52/70+/35) corrected to 157 throughout.
Database/container deployment claims left unchanged (out of scope).
* docs: fix stale post-rebrand test assertions and README language list
- tests/e2e-docs/homepage.spec.ts: assert the current docs homepage (file toolkit, 157 tools, 5 modalities) instead of the old image-only strings
- tests/unit/api/docs-route.test.ts: sync the reproduced llms.txt tagline with docs.ts
- README.md: 21 languages with the correct list (add Swedish and Chinese Traditional, drop Czech which is not supported)
* docs: correct 2.0 architecture references (Postgres 17 + Redis 8, 3-container stack)
The docs and metadata still described the 1.x stack (SQLite, single container, p-queue). Update them to the current 2.0 reality.
- README: replace the broken single-container `docker run` quick-start with the real Docker Compose stack (app + Postgres 17 + Redis 8); fix the "no Redis, no Postgres" feature bullet
- package.json: description no longer claims a single container
- apps/docs: rewrite database.md for Postgres; configuration.md DB_PATH -> DATABASE_URL + REDIS_URL; architecture.md SQLite/p-queue/better-sqlite3 -> Postgres/BullMQ/pg and add media-engine + doc-engine; developer/security/deployment/docker-tags/getting-started/contributing compose examples now include postgres + redis; index.md + api/ai.md AI count 16 -> 19
- SECURITY.md: Drizzle (SQLite) -> (PostgreSQL)
- landing: enterprise/FeatureHighlights single-container wording; TrustSignals/ToolGrid 150+ -> 157 (dynamic); Pricing/FAQ 15 -> 19 AI tools
* docs(api): document all video, audio, document, and data tool endpoints in OpenAPI
The spec covered only image tools; the Scalar UI and the generated /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt inherited that gap. Add the 104 missing tool endpoints so the API docs match the code.
- Video: 29 endpoints (most long/async; auto-subtitles is AI)
- Audio: 17 (transcribe-audio is AI)
- Document/PDF: 36 (ocr-pdf is AI; conversions are long/async)
- Data: 10
- Image: 12 newer tools (background-replace, blur-background AI; histogram/lqip-placeholder/sprite-sheet custom responses; barcode-generate uses a JSON body)
Each schema is derived from the tool's Zod validator and executionHint (fast -> 200, long -> 202+SSE, AI adds 501 FeatureNotInstalledError, multi-file inputs as arrays), referencing the existing shared schemas. Tool path entries: 64 -> 168. Spec parses as valid YAML with no duplicate paths and only known $refs.
Reframe the landing page around the self-hosted enterprise buyer.
