Topic Radar v0.1.0

Changelog

0.1.0 — 2026-09-26

First public Topic Radar release. Early single-owner MVP; Russian UI.

Added

• Keyword research focused on small channels (default: up to 10,000 subscribers).
• Manual scans and recurring monitors with separate discovery and refresh intervals.
• RU/EN search preferences, Shorts/ordinary-video filters and configurable lookback.
• Immutable observations, measured hourly growth and conservative topic grouping.
• Public metadata, descriptions, tags, hashtags, likes and comment counts.
• Channel history; paginated, sortable video/channel/research catalogs.
• Favorites, notes, individual/batch refresh, exports and reversible research deletion.
• Encrypted server key storage, admin login and scoped external HTTP API tokens.
• Docker/HTTPS setup, GHCR package, release archives, CI and contributor documentation.

Reliability

• Historical refreshes rank IDs before loading metadata, reducing SQLite temporary
  storage pressure. Recoverable storage errors do not terminate the worker.
• Non-JSON server errors display a readable message instead of a JavaScript parse error.

Known limitations

• API data retained for 28 days; one owner/process per database.
• Shorts detection is a heuristic; search results do not cover all YouTube videos.
• Interrupted operations retain results but do not resume from a checkpoint.
• Linux amd64 container only; UI localization beyond Russian is not included.
• Growth signals are observations, not predictions or profitability scores.
