Entry points (no sixth tab): Ask in the Library header (desktop button,
phone icon), Ask about this deck in the deck menu, Ask a question on
study/homework results (compact result travels as context), and a Chat
row in the desktop sidebar. Phones get a full-screen route with back +
New chat; the tab bar steps aside.
- Client-side retrieval: chunk scoped decks (~800 tokens), BM25 against
the question + recent turns, top chunks under ~7k tokens, each
labelled with deck + section. Notes come from the deck's stored
sourceText (already kept for Regenerate); decks without it fall back
to generated content and the UI says so.
- Stateless server: /api/chat validates against the CHAT_MODELS
allowlist, trims the history to ~6k tokens, caps context at ~9k and
streams token/thinking/done/error NDJSON. /api/chat/extract reduces
attachments to text through the existing vision step.
- UI: user bubbles + full-width assistant text, streaming with stop,
auto-scroll that pauses with a jump-to-bottom button, safe markdown
(React nodes, no HTML injection; KaTeX dynamically imported only when
a message has math), Thinking row for reasoning, copy/regenerate/
edit-and-resend, model + context pickers (last model remembered),
composer with visualViewport keyboard handling, safe-area, 16px
textarea, Enter-to-send on desktop.
- Usage-limit failures keep the draft and show the shared message with
Settings/Ollama actions; stopping maps the reader abort to a clean
stopped state; offline disables sending with a reason.
- Settings: Keep notes text for chat toggle; deck menu: Delete notes
text. RATE_LIMIT_CHAT + CHAT_MODELS in .env.example and README.
- Tests: chat suite (63 checks, stub Ollama) wired into run-all.
Full set: 12/12 suites, 487 checks. SW -> freezmo-v32.
Also: tests/model-compare.mjs (diagnostic) benchmarks two models on the
same notes (latency, repair rounds, activity types) so the gpt-oss vs
gemma default can be decided on numbers; defaults unchanged.
Mobile only (<=639px / coarse pointers); desktop keeps its behaviour.
System integration
- Manifest: id, display_override, monochrome icon, Make my homework
shortcut and a share target (text/URL via GET, files via POST).
iOS startup images for the common iPhone sizes. Pinch-zoom is allowed
again (double-tap zoom is disabled via touch-action instead).
- Share target: /share chooser with New deck / Make my homework; POSTed
files wait in a 10-minute in-memory store, reach the wizard through
sessionStorage and never touch disk.
- Web Share: Share rows for decks (JSON file where supported) and the
homework result, with a clipboard fallback and a toast.
- Offline: a quiet pill appears and Freeze / mode cards are disabled
with a clear reason; input is never lost (error cards keep Retry).
- State: wizard drafts (text, options, photos up to a size budget)
survive reloads and OS kills and are cleared on success; re-tapping
the active tab scrolls to the top; the deck page shows a skeleton
instead of a spinner.
Navigation and gestures
- System Back closes the topmost layer first: a small history-entry
stack (lib/use-back-close.ts) covers the drawer, Settings sheet,
install sheet, deck actions panel and one wizard step; navigations
are never rewound and stale entries are skipped.
- Destructive-but-reversible actions use Undo toasts: deleting a deck
(no confirm) and removing a file in the wizard. Irreversible ones
keep their confirm.
Input and feedback
- Every phone input got inputmode / enterkeyhint / autocomplete /
autocapitalize / spellcheck; Enter on the last field advances the
wizard; a clipboard-paste button appears where the API exists.
- Haptics behind a Settings toggle (on by default): tab switches,
toggles, correct/wrong, completion; Vibration API + the iOS hidden
switch tick, throttled and silent everywhere else.
- Wake lock during the study feed and homework guide, released on
leave and re-acquired when the tab returns.
Verified: new native suite 35/35 (manifest/head/viewport, offline,
share target GET + POST, back-gesture layers, undo, share fallback,
tab re-tap, haptics persistence, draft restore), regression 74/74,
mobile 52/52, wizard 80/80, declutter 116/116, animation 8/8,
i18n 25/25. Lint + build clean. SW freezmo-v23.
Needs a real device (documented in the README): iOS haptic tick,
system share sheet entry, wake-lock grant, iPhone startup images,
iOS edge-swipe back, install prompts. Pull-to-refresh and the app
badge were skipped on purpose.
Mobile only (<=639px / coarse pointers); desktop keeps its behaviour.
Foundation
- lib/motion.ts owns the spring presets (snappy/gentle/sheet), durations,
easings and variants (screens, tabs, wizard steps, list stagger).
- Native-feel CSS: press feedback scales every button, card, chip, tab,
row and summary to 0.96 with a spring-like cubic-bezier on transform
(scoped to phones/coarse pointers), tap-highlight off, touch-action
manipulation, chrome text non-selectable, reduced motion drops it.
- App shell fades in once on launch; the study feed fades in on phones.
Applied
- Tab bar: sliding active pill (shared layoutId) + icon bounce.
- Study Decks/Homework, language toggle, difficulty and size pickers:
the same gliding highlight, gated so desktop keeps the old styling.
- Route content enters direction-aware (deeper = from the right, back =
from the left, same-depth = crossfade) via RouteTransition on the
library/create/homework content columns; library tab switches
crossfade; wizard steps slide forward/backward (reduced motion safe).
- Library: cards fade up in a capped stagger on first load, glide with
layout animations and shrink away on delete (AnimatePresence).
- Study feed: correct feedback pulses, wrong shakes, the progress bar
settles with a spring curve, score and XP count up on the results.
- Settings sheet uses the sheet spring; the drawer now follows the
finger and closes on release velocity, like the sheet.
- Generation progress: the stage message fades/slides between stages;
the icon keeps its gentle wobble; the feed fades in on hand-off.
Skipped, on purpose: LazyMotion (the sliding highlights need layout
animations = domMax, same features the current import already has);
route exit animations (the App Router unmounts the outgoing page —
exits are handled by in-page AnimatePresence); replacing the study
feed's native scroll-snap with finger-follow drag (would fight the
platform scroller); finger-follow height animation for native <details>
expanders.
Verified: animation suite 8/8 (reduced motion + 4x-CPU-throttled trace:
no long tasks, CLS 0.0000), regression 74/74, mobile 52/52, declutter
116/116, i18n 25/25. Lint + build clean. SW freezmo-v21.
Phones only (<=639px); desktop markup is untouched.
- New deck is a 3-step flow: progress (1/3 + bar) and a fixed Back/Next
bar above the tab bar. Step 1 = Add photos or files / Camera / Paste
text instead (no drop zone or paste copy on touch), step 2 = folder,
difficulty and count with defaults plus one collapsed focus/notes row,
step 3 = one summary line (photos/docs/text · difficulty · count ·
folder) with Freeze. Going Back keeps every input; step transitions
respect prefers-reduced-motion.
- Make my homework is a 2-step flow sharing the same pattern; tapping a
mode card starts it (no separate CTA on phones), with a short preview
of the assignment on step 2. The hero is now 'Make my homework' /
'Udělej mi úkol' everywhere ('Solve your homework' is gone) and the
intro is one line.
- Library: stats line removed, folder row and 'Unorganized' heading
hidden until folders exist (New folder lives in the drawer), Import is
a small icon button beside the tabs. Deck and homework cards are
compact on phones: title, one meta line (activities · difficulty ·
best), a one-line description that expands on tap, the whole card
tappable and a small Study/Open pill instead of the full-width button.
- Settings sheet on phones: no .env.local subtitle; Language stays first;
one Connection card (status dot + 'Connected · 2 models ready', key
field with the eye inside, Save only when edited, auto re-check on
save, refresh icon instead of Test connection); privacy one-liner with
a More expander (daemon tip inside); raw health rows behind one
collapsed Details list; Remove key as a small danger button at the very
bottom (same confirmation).
- Decorative orbs on phones moved further off the screen edges so they
never glow under cards or primary buttons.
- Shared markup for folder/difficulty/count and mode cards keeps one
source of state; new lib/use-phone.ts gates the layouts.
Verified: new declutter suite 116/116 (360 + 390, EN + CS, photo + PDF +
pasted text, Back keeps input, summaries, settings flow), regression
74/74, mobile 52/52, i18n 25/25. Lint + build clean. SW freezmo-v20.
English stays the default; Czech is a full translation. Only the app chrome
is translated - notes and generated decks keep their own language, which is a
core feature, not a setting.
i18n
- lib/i18n-dict.ts: flat en/cs dictionaries (441 keys each), translate() and
translatePlural() with real Czech plural rules (1 sada / 2-4 sady / 5+ sad).
English is the default and the fallback for a missing key.
- lib/i18n.ts: browser store (freezmo.locale.v1), useI18n() hook, and the
x-freezmo-locale header. The hook's t/plural are bound to the locale React
is rendering with, so the first client render matches the server HTML and
then re-renders in the stored language; module-level t is only for event
handlers and non-React helpers.
- <html lang> follows the choice (inline script + setLocale).
UI
- Settings -> Language segmented control (English / Cestina), plus an EN/CS
button on the key gate for first run.
- Every screen translated: sidebar, header, tab bar, library, deck cards,
folder bar, create flow, all seven activities, study chrome, results,
settings + health panel, API-key gate and help, install sheet, offline and
the deck-not-found page.
- Plural-aware counts everywhere (decks, folders, activities, runs, photos,
documents, pages, words, wrong attempts).
Server
- API routes and guards (generate, grade, health, http-guard, rate-limit,
ollama error mapping) answer in the request's language, so error cards and
the health panel never fall back to English mid-sentence.
Fixes
- A hydration mismatch when a non-default locale was stored silently dropped
the .dark class after hydration; render-time t() is now bound to the
hook's locale (UploadScreen.describeExtraction, ResultsScreen.answerFor,
DeckCard's folder fallback).
- Bumped the service worker cache to freezmo-v4 for this deploy.
Tests: i18n 27/27 (gate toggle, persistence, html lang, Czech plurals,
settings switch) and a rebuilt regression suite 72/72 (English default,
library, create, all 7 activity types, results, settings, install sheet,
offline, PWA, security, Czech smoke).
Rebuilds the look around the spec: an ice scene, one shared glass
recipe, icy accents and glass on every large surface. Visual only —
layout, behaviour, copy and functionality are untouched.
Background
- .ice-scene: fixed, z-index -1, pointer-events none. Navy base
(#070b16 to #0c1426) in dark, pale (#f4f9ff to #e6f1fb) in light,
four drifting glacier blobs (#38bdf8/#60a5fa/#818cf8, 30-60s
transform-only loops), five glossy ice orbs (40-220px radial
gradients with a highlight at 30% 25% and a blue shadow) placed so the
glass blurs them, and an SVG feTurbulence grain at 4-5%.
- prefers-reduced-motion stops the drift; phones get two blobs and two
orbs fewer.
Glass
- One shared recipe (.glass-panel, .card, .sidebar-surface,
.study-chrome, .tabbar, .glass, .gate-card): rgba(255,255,255,.06)
dark / .55 light, blur(24px) saturate(140%) (16px on phones), a bright
1px rim, an inset top highlight and a blue-tinted outer shadow.
- Nested glass (chips, inputs, secondary buttons) is more opaque and
never adds a second blur layer. @supports fallback for no
backdrop-filter. Radii: 24-28px cards/sheets, 14px inputs/buttons,
pills for chips. Cards hover brighter + cyan rim + 2px lift, 180ms.
Colour and type
- Accent is glacier cyan (#38bdf8) to ice blue (#0ea5e9); progress bars
and selected states use the gradient; the active sidebar item is a
frosted highlight with a cyan rim.
- Primary CTA: icy gradient — white to #bfe3ff with ink text in dark,
deep blue in light (biased so the label sits on the darker half and
keeps 5.6:1).
- Leftover slate/black greys replaced with navy-tinted frost tokens.
- Headings are semibold with tighter tracking.
Screens
- Dashboard: the sidebar is one tall inset rounded glass panel; deck
cards are glass.
- Gate: one centred glass card over the scene, orbs visible behind it.
- Sheets/modals: glass over the dimmed, lightly blurred backdrop.
- Study view: question card more opaque (.glass-solid); top bar and
pager are slim glass pills.
Perf: measured on a phone viewport with 4x CPU throttling. The animated
blobs' filter: blur() was the whole cost (150ms vs 33ms per frame), so
they are soft radial gradients with no filter now; idle 60fps, ~17ms
median while scrolling.
Tests updated for the new tokens: contrast 18/18 AA, deck chrome 15/15,
key gate 49/49, install sheet 64/64, deck fixes 15/15, retry 14/14,
zoom 6/6, final ux 12/12, security 8/8, pwa 16/16.
Layout (desktop / lg+ only):
- 40px top padding above the page title.
- Deck grid uses minmax(320px, 1fr), so two cards fill the content width
and share a right edge with the header (same max-width container).
- Group headings only render once real folders exist; with none, a single
quiet "All decks" label replaces "Unorganized".
- Import JSON becomes a plain text button (mobile keeps the pill).
Deck cards (desktop):
- The whole card is a link; Study is a compact secondary button instead
of a full-width solid pill.
- The ... control is a 32px ghost button with a real ellipsis icon,
aligned to the title's centre.
- Meta line always shows the same fields (activities · runs / Not played
yet); the score is a separate quiet "Best 53%" stat.
- 12px rhythm between title/meta/tags/summary, 16px before the actions.
- Hover: lighter surface, stronger border, soft shadow and a 2px lift in
light mode (pointer devices only, so touch has no sticky hover).
Sidebar (desktop rail):
- All decks + Unorganized are views above the FOLDERS label; only
user-created folders sit under it.
- Count only on All decks. The mobile drawer is unchanged.
Theme:
- Dark: sidebar is a step darker (#181818 to #141414 vs #212121 page).
- Light: cards get a slightly stronger border (#e2e2e2) and a soft
shadow; the sidebar divider and edge shadow are stronger too.
- Medium difficulty darkened to #7a5300 (6.2:1 on the light chip).
Mobile is untouched: layout changes are behind lg: (or the desktop prop);
theme tweaks are shared tokens.
Verified: key-gate 49/49, install sheet 64/64, retry 14/14, zoom 6/6,
deck chrome 15/15, deck fixes 15/15, final ux 12/12, contrast 20/20,
security 8/8, pwa 16/16.
Next.js 15 app that turns photos, PDFs, DOCX/PPTX and text into a swipeable
feed of AI-generated activities (flashcards, multiple choice, true/false,
fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering, short answer) using the user's own
Ollama models.
Highlights:
- All AI calls run in server route handlers; the browser never talks to Ollama.
- Bring-your-own-key mode (default): the key lives only in the browser and is
sent per-request; server, local-daemon and shared-key modes also supported.
- Client-side document extraction (pdf.js, mammoth, jszip) with scanned-PDF
page rendering for the vision model; notes stay in their original language.
- ChatGPT-style shell: collapsible sidebar / mobile drawer, neutral token-based
light + dark themes, folder organisation, PWA (manifest, SW, offline page).
- Strict JSON validation with zod + auto-repair, rate limiting, and request
guards (cross-origin, body-size, API-key sanitising).
- setup.sh bootstraps deps, .env.local and a production build.
Gitignore excludes .env*, the generated pdf.js worker and local scratch files.
