The PWA conversion shipped sw.js, opfs.js, manifest and icons, but app.js
was never updated to use them — it still routed cache_* calls through the
native bridge (call('cache.list', ...)), which throws 'No native bridge
available' in a browser. That surfaced as 'Offline cache unavailable /
not available in this build' on the Saved videos and Settings pages.
- Add WEB mode detection (no Tauri/zero bridge present)
- Route cache_* through OPFS (opfsDownload/Status/List/Delete/Clear)
- Proxy downloads via /api/download so the browser never hits YouTube CDN
- Load fingerprint.js + opfs.js; add manifest link and PWA meta tags
- Relax CSP to allow blob: media/img and worker-src 'self' for the SW
Fixed bar at bottom of window when video is playing. Shows title,
channel, progress, play/pause toggle. Click to restore player view.
Files:
- frontend/index.html: mini-bar markup
- frontend/app.js: showMiniBar/hideMiniBar/updateMiniBar, wiring
- frontend/styles.css: .mini-bar, .mini-bar-inner, .mini-progress styles
Shows upcoming videos in the autoplay queue below now-playing meta.
Clickable to jump to any video. Hidden when queue has 1 item or empty.
Updates on playFromList, playNext, playPrev. Hidden in empty player state.
Files:
- frontend/index.html: upnext section in player pane
- frontend/app.js: renderUpNext(), wired into playFromList/playNext/playPrev
- frontend/styles.css: .upnext, .upnext-item, .upnext-list styles
Multiple toasts can appear simultaneously, capped at 3. Oldest
toast auto-evicts when cap is reached. Each toast auto-dismisses
with a fade-up exit animation.
- frontend/app.js: toast() now creates DOM elements in toastContainer
- frontend/index.html: single #toast replaced with #toastContainer
- frontend/styles.css: .toast-container flexbox row, .toast-exit animation
Press '?' to open a styled overlay showing all keyboard shortcuts,
Esc to close. Lists Space (play/pause), arrow keys (seek/volume),
F (fullscreen), M (mute), ? (help), Esc (close).
Files:
- frontend/app.js: toggleShortcutHelp(), wireShortcutHelp(), '?' and Esc handlers
- frontend/index.html: shortcut-overlay markup with .shortcut-grid
- frontend/styles.css: .shortcut-overlay, .shortcut-panel, .shortcut-row, kbd styles
zero-native has no Windows target yet, so add a parallel Tauri shell
for Windows that reuses the same frontend:
- src-tauri/: Rust commands (yt_search, yt_streams, store_load,
store_save) mirroring the Zig bridge; spawns bundled yt-dlp.exe with
CREATE_NO_WINDOW; data stored in app_data_dir
- frontend bridge now auto-detects window.__TAURI__ vs window.zero and
routes accordingly; CSP updated for Tauri IPC
- tauri.conf.json bundles yt-dlp.exe as a resource and builds nsis/msi
- scripts/make-icon.js generates appicon.png for 'tauri icon'
- README: native Windows build steps + WSLg fallback note
Desktop YouTube player with no login and no ads. Extracts direct
video/audio streams with yt-dlp and plays them in a native window via
zero-native (Zig + system WebView) for a tiny footprint vs Electron.
- Dual-stream engine: muted video synced with separate audio track for
high quality without ffmpeg muxing; progressive fallback
- On-device playlists, watch history, audio-only mode
- Full custom controls: seek, volume, speed, quality, fullscreen, queue
- Zig bridge handlers spawn yt-dlp and return slimmed JSON to the web UI
- Cinematic dark UI: Bricolage/Hanken/JetBrains Mono, vermilion accent
