- The empty state is about an empty library, not a brand-new Reader:
listView.Fresh becomes EmptyLibrary and moves behind the tab-specific
branches, so "No favourites yet" is no longer shadowed for a Reader whose
library happens to be empty. The action key stays put — hiding it was
never asked for.
- The owner is not a revocable Reader: their row offers no button and
POST /readers/{owner}/revoke is a 404, so the one row where the control
would sign out the tapping browser cannot be reached by a hand-rolled
POST either.
- Modify isolation is asserted in both directions, and the owner's own
sign-in through the OAuth callback is pinned to the seeded row.
- CUTOVER.md and REDEPLOY.md still grepped API_TOKEN out of .env for their
smoke tests, which the last commit deleted; both now take the acting
Reader's derived credential.
- Roster type follows the machine-fact spec (500 10-11px mono, tracked),
and PRODUCT.md names the Readers panel instead of claiming there is no
owner surface at all.

## Platform
|
|
|
|
web
|
|
|
|
## Users
|
|
|
|
Members of one private Discord guild, each with their own library. Accounts exist and are created by signing in — there is no signup form, no invite code and no approval step: any member of the configured guild becomes a Reader on their first Discord login. The person running the deployment is the owner, seeded at startup, and the only Reader with an administrative capability (revoking another Reader's sessions).
|
|
|
|
Reading happens on **asurascans.com**, **demonicscans.org**, **comix.to** and **kagane.to** for manga and **novelfull.com** and **lightnovelworld.net** for novels, primarily via Bromite on mobile, with checks and corrections from a desktop browser. The web UI is the cross-device view into progress the userscripts capture while reading.
|
|
|
|
## Product Purpose
|
|
|
|
Tracks read-progress ("last chapter read") per series across sites that each have their own separate `localStorage`. A Go backend unifies bookmarks into one store; the web UI is a Discord-gated browser view of one Reader's own bookmarks, for reviewing, favouriting, correcting, shelving or removing them, and jumping back into a series to continue reading. A background poller refreshes each series' latest-published-chapter so the list can flag "NEW" without the Reader visiting the site.
|
|
|
|
## Positioning
|
|
|
|
Not a public reading tracker or social app — a private, self-hosted sync layer for one Discord community, purpose-built for a fixed set of scraped sites. Multi-Reader, not multi-tenant: libraries are isolated, but the deployment belongs to one group and its membership is the whole access model.
|
|
|
|
## Operating Context
|
|
|
|
- Primary reading device: Bromite (mobile Chromium), where a userscript captures progress automatically. Each Reader installs their own copy, rendered with their own credential.
|
|
- Web UI is a secondary surface: checking list state, correcting a wrong chapter number, removing dead bookmarks, jumping to "continue reading."
|
|
- Cover art and titles come from the source sites' `og:image`/`og:title` — real content, not placeholders. They are facts about the series, so they are shared between Readers who track it; progress is not.
|
|
- List order is driven by `updated_at`, which moves only on real reading progress (not favouriting, not a newly detected chapter) — a UI constraint the design must not break.
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities and Constraints
|
|
|
|
- Two libraries (manga, novels) with lifecycle tabs: All / Updated / Favourites / Archived / Finished. Search-filter by title (client-side, `filter.js`).
|
|
- Card actions: continue (opens source site), toggle favourite, manual chapter override, archive, finish, remove — each move out of the list confirm-gated.
|
|
- "Continue reading" horizontal strip for series with an unread chapter.
|
|
- A Reader with no bookmarks at all sees a deliberate empty library offering both userscript install links, not an error and not a blank page.
|
|
- Isolation is the load-bearing invariant: two Readers cannot see or change each other's bookmarks. A series both track is one shared row polled once, with independent progress on each side.
|
|
- The owner can revoke a specific Reader's sessions; nothing else in the UI differs by Reader.
|
|
- htmx-driven partial updates, no client-side framework or build step — templates are Go `html/template`, `go:embed`-ed.
|
|
- Mobile-first is a hard functional constraint (primary device is a phone), not just a starting breakpoint.
|
|
|
|
## Brand Commitments
|
|
|
|
- Name: **BookmarkManager**.
|
|
- **Dark-first is binding**: dark-by-default / light-follows-system-preference must be preserved as a design constraint, not just a starting default, because reading happens at night.
|
|
|
|
## Evidence on Hand
|
|
|
|
- Live templates/CSS at `backend/internal/web/templates/*.html`, `backend/internal/web/static/style.css`, governed by the Cinder design system (`docs/design-system.md`).
|
|
- No logo beyond the wordmark, no screenshots, no marketing copy; none should be fabricated.
|
|
|
|
## Product Principles
|
|
|
|
- Dark-first, night-reading-optimized — never regress to a light-default or high-glare surface.
|
|
- Mobile is the primary target; desktop is an enhancement, not the design center.
|
|
- Progress data integrity over visual flourish: `updated_at`/list-ordering behavior is a correctness constraint the UI must respect, not decorate over.
|
|
- A leak between Readers fails silently and looks like working software — isolation is asserted from both directions, never inferred from counting one Reader's rows.
|
|
- No roles, no org chrome: the owner's Readers panel is one list with one button (revoke someone's sessions), not an admin console, and otherwise every Reader's view is the same.
|
|
- Prefer native platform affordances (system dark/light, native touch targets) over custom widgetry — this is a lean self-hosted tool, not a product to demo.
|
|
|
|
## Accessibility & Inclusion
|
|
|
|
Explicit personal requirement: optimized for **low-light/night reading** — minimize glare and eye strain (true dark surfaces, restrained brightness/contrast on accents, no jarring pure-white flashes), beyond generic touch-target/contrast compliance.
