Web App Ecosystem Expansion

Another round of structural improvements and new tools. I focused on expanding the web app's internal ecosystem, improving discoverability and introducing some of the most ambitious systems so far.

- HOME Redesign:

The HOME page received a structural refresh. A featured (pinned) release now sits at the top, giving the project a clearer focal point when new releases arrive. The App Updates now display the latest additions and the Support pages are integrated at the bottom of the page.

- Global Search:

A search system now runs across the entire app. Pages, releases, tracks, blog entries and other content can now be discovered from a single search field. A simple addition on the surface, but a major improvement in how the site can be explored.

- Video support added to the BLOG:

The BLOG now supports video alongside audio entries. Both formats are currently disabled while the long-term content structure is being defined.

- DISCOG "All" tab and "New Release" indicators:

The Discography section now includes a new "All" tab that separates releases by type while keeping everything in chronological order. Recent releases receive a small badge indicator, connected to the HOME "What's New" feed.

- Audio Player tab synchronization:

The audio player now synchronises playback state across browser tabs. If multiple tabs of the app are open, playback remains consistent instead of restarting or conflicting.

- DATA page expanded:

Several improvements arrived to the DATA section. Related Versions are now displayed in purple. The previously hidden All Metrics page has also moved into the main DATA page for easier access to deeper statistics.

- VAULT restructuring:

The VAULT received a structural reorganization. A new Funding page was added, and the previous Packs section has been repurposed into Tools, which now includes plugins and sample packs. Some items are now available freely without requiring Prisms.

- New mode for the Event Calendar:

The Calendar now includes a "Full" mode within the DATA section, allowing different visualizations of activity and timelines across the project.

- PRISM major expansion:

PRISM saw the largest development since version 1.1. Two major systems were introduced. ATLAS, a navigable 49-year timeline that functions like a procedural cosmos. And RHYME, a phonetic rhyme finder designed for lyric writing.

- Full Offline Mode:

The app now supports a more robust offline mode. With the cached shell and stored content, all parts of the web app remain usable (excluding online dependencies) even without an internet connection.
