Tracking for the next planning window: Roadmap 31Oct 2026 milestone.

Upcoming Features

Global Latest Tab (#99)

• Top-level view of recently indexed media across all sources, sorted newest first.
• Goal: stop opening every source just to see what is new.
• Likely reuse of existing history-table UI; default sort on indexed time (inserted_at), not download time alone.
• Targeted for the release after 2026.10.15 (see the issue for discussion on sort and filters).

In-App YouTube Browser

• Search and browse YouTube inside Pinchflat-ngx with clear status for items already in your library.
• Guarded download actions and limits on provider/API use so browsing does not hammer yt-dlp or your network.
• Touches routes, LiveView, workers, and packaging; one of the larger UI efforts on the list.

Paste-a-Link Quick Download

• Paste a YouTube URL, parse it strictly, preview title/channel/thumbnail, then add or download on confirm.
• Shares intake rules with the in-app browser work (duplicates, policy, errors).
• Depends on the browser stack above for a consistent “add from URL” path.

Subscription Import From CSV

• Import subscriptions from a Google Takeout-style CSV.
• Preview rows, dedupe against existing sources, run import in the background with cancel and retry.
• Bounded parsing so a bad export cannot wedge the app.

Share Links and Bookmarklet

• Scoped share tokens so you can send a URL into your library from another browser tab.
• Bookmarklet or share URL flow with rate limits and preview before anything is queued.
• Settings live outside the main settings form (same pattern as API access).

Media Server Library Refresh

• Optional Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby library refresh after downloads finish.
• Coalesced jobs so ten new episodes do not fire ten separate scans.
• Server URL and credentials stay in settings; Pinchflat-ngx only nudges the server, it does not replace it.

Proxy, Sharing, and Browser Hardening

• Trusted reverse-proxy options, tighter cookie/session handling, token expiry, clearer errors in browser search.
• Follows share intake and media-server refresh in the original feature order from the merge backlog.

Channel Event Notifications (WebSub)

• Optional per-channel upload, title, and removal notifications via a bounded WebSub sidecar.
• Settings to enable channels individually; default off.
• Initial ship does not depend on live YouTube webhook experiments in production.

Expanded SQLite to PostgreSQL Transfer Tables

• Not the migration shipped in #87 / 2026.10.15. That release already copies the core library tables and resets PostgreSQL ID sequences for those tables.
• This item is follow-on work: extra tables, future schema (for example channel-event storage), and harder edge cases beyond the first-cut transfer.
• Additive only; pairs with WebSub or other features if their tables are added later.

Dynamic Announcements Banner

• Optional fetched announcement feed, dismissible banner, and /announcements page.
• HTTPS fetch with a local cache; no phone-home until a production feed URL is chosen.
• Default off until maintainers pick a feed endpoint and retention rules.
