• settings & animation overhaul — v2026.05.13, May 13, 2026
  • sidebar & navigation: page menu effects: added lots of effects to the sideitem's container in the sidebar (shadows, animations, etc), scrolling buttons: since pages now collapse when the window is too short, you can now press a button to scroll for you!, collapsed sidebar state: fixed pills and centered them correctly this time, centered side items: balanced the navigation rail items by horizontally centering them in the sidebar on desktop., squish: added bouncy, rotating spring animations to the scroll buttons. they squish when you click and pop in with some flair.
  • settings modal & animation polish: settings expansion: completely overhauled the settings modal opening animation with a premium, squishy spring feel., precision morphing: moved the shared layout target to the icon container, eliminating text stretching during settings expansion/collapse., southeast bounce: added a dynamic southeast-drifting exit animation for the settings modal, providing a more fluid 'falling away' feel., markdown overhaul: completely redesigned the blog renderer with custom styles for headers, lists, and inline code. added a <spacer /> component for better vertical rhythm., changelog masonry: refactored the changelog layout to use a column-based flow, eliminating large vertical gaps between unevenly sized change groups., AMOLED mode: added a new toggle for pure black backgrounds, perfect for saving battery on OLED screens., physics locking: harmonized the spring math across the sidebar, mobile nav, and the modal itself so icons stay perfectly synchronized during expansion., theme pre-loading: pre-calculated HSL variables and disabled mount animations for custom sliders to ensure instant theme application without layout shift., stability: fixed a first-open shake bug on both mobile and desktop by stabilizing initial layout states., toggle refinement: synchronized the appearance mode toggle pill with the modal's physics, ensuring it doesn't drift during transitions., stability: fixed event bubbling and layout conflicts that caused the settings to force close when toggling focus mode., immersive sliders: implemented Material 3 Expressive style sliders for hue and saturation. ticks and handles are now vertical lines that stick out slightly beyond the track borders., bounce/squish sliders: added a juicy spring-loaded overshoot animation when dragging sliders past their boundaries, with dynamic transform origins for realistic stretching., modal stability: implemented scroll locking to prevent background displacement during quick scrolls., focus mode fixes: conditionalized layout synchronization to prevent modals from disappearing when toggling focus mode while they are open.
  • logic changes: split the logic: actually separated the expanded and collapsed states inside SideItem., smart masking: added a CSS mask (nav-mask) that fades items out at the top and bottom., unique layout IDs: the expanded background now uses sidebar-expanded-bg and the collapsed capsule uses sidebar-mini-pill., clean transitions: since they're separate now, the expanded mode will properly fill the whole button background again without trying to follow the icon.
