v1.4.3 — The booth release

🏪 Card Booth — your table, in their pocket

Selling at a card show, a store table, or out of a binder? The new Booth (More → Card Booth) lets you list what you're selling and share it before buyers reach your table:

• Build a booth from your shelves — pick cards and sealed products, asking prices pre-fill from tracked market values (yours to change), add a venue, date, and a note for buyers
• Share as a link or QR — and here's the trick: Rarebox has no servers, so the entire booth travels inside the link itself (URL fragment). Nothing is uploaded, hosted, or tracked — seller to buyer, device to device, nobody in between. Small booths fit a single QR any phone camera can scan; bigger ones switch to an animated multi-frame code
• Buyers browse read-only — sticker header, your note, every listing with its price, full-table total — and can Save this shop to revisit later, even offline
• Visitor-friendly — shared booths show no database prompts or download popups; first-time visitors get one small dismissible invite to try Rarebox, nothing else
• Booths and saved shops ride along in backups and device transfer

🔄 Device transfer rebuilt

• The QR transfer was capped at ~3KB ('collection too large') and had no scanner — now it's an animated multi-frame QR (300 cards ≈ 12 frames ≈ 5 seconds) with a real camera scanner and progress bar in the Receive tab
• Fixed: imports were being silently discarded since the IndexedDB migration — the app's unload-flush re-saved the old collection over every import (file restore and device sync). Send was also packing empty collections from stale storage keys
• Backups now include decks and the trade table (both were silently dropped before)

Polish

• Uniform listing mats in booths — tall booster boxes and wide tins letterbox into the same frame as card scans
• Settings About refreshed (auto-versioned, all six games' sources, offline + privacy notes)

Full Changelog: v1.4.2...v1.4.3

v1.4.2 — The offline release

Works offline, like a binder

The headline: Rarebox now works with zero signal. There was a gap between promise and reality — the app was installable, your collection lived on-device, and yet airplane mode meant a blank "can't connect" page, because the app itself was re-fetched from the network on every load. Not anymore.

• Service worker, generated at build time — the entire app shell is precached on your first visit. After that, opening the app and moving between Shelf, Decks, Search, Browse, and Trade needs no connection at all.
• Card images cache as you view them (capped, quota-friendly), so your shelf looks like your shelf offline. Tour videos and scanner indexes cache on first use.
• Live data stays live — price refreshes and new card searches are never intercepted or served stale. When you're offline, a chip tells you: "Offline — your shelf still works. Live prices & new searches need a connection."
• Deploys still land instantly — navigations are network-first; the cache is only the fallback.

Privacy: analytics removed entirely

Rarebox now collects nothing. The anonymous page-view counting added in v1.4.1 (Vercel Web Analytics) is gone — dependency uninstalled, not just disabled. No analytics, no cookies, no fingerprinting, no page-view counting. The Terms & Privacy policy, Settings, README, and docs all state it plainly. Offline mode is the proof: your collection never needs to talk to a server.

Settings also got a stale-data fix: the About section was three versions old — it now shows the real version (injected from package.json at build), all six games' data sources, and notes on offline mode and the on-device scanner.

Feature tours, fixed and relocated

• Tours now actually auto-play on first visit — the trigger was wired to nothing, so new users never saw them.
• The sets tour moved to the Browse hub (where every game starts), showing one card per TCG — Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Magic — with the shelf total summed from those cards.
• The replay ⓘ now shows on desktop — it only existed in the mobile header, so closing a tour on desktop made it unreachable.

Landing & brand

• Two new feature cards: Works offline, like a binder and Point, scan, shelved (the scanner finally gets its own spotlight).
• X/Twitter launch assets (RB avatar + light/dark banners) rendered straight from Tactile design tokens, in branding/.

Full Changelog: v1.4.1...v1.4.2

v1.4.1 — Image-matching scanner, link previews, PWA polish

The scanner release — plus link previews, PWA polish, and a pile of fixes from real-device testing.

📷 Scanner rebuilt: image matching, not text reading

• Deep-research-driven rewrite: cards are identified by perceptual-hash matching against 30,000+ reference card images (pHash + dHash, the technique used by industrial card sorters and every verified open-source scanner) — the exact printing (set, number, variant) in about a second
• On-device perspective rectification: Sobel edges → Hough lines → corner detection → homography warp, in pure canvas JS — phone photos at an angle now match clean reference scans
• Calibrated on a synthetic photo harness: matching thresholds tuned so the scanner never suggests a wrong card — uncertain scans fall back to the OCR/search-prefill path instead of guessing
• Indexes cover Pokémon (EN+JP), Riftbound, Lorcana, One Piece in ~840KB of static files; everything runs on-device, zero new hosting cost
• OCR (eng+jpn) remains as fallback for unindexed games

🔗 Link previews

• Sharing rarebox.io on Discord/Telegram/WhatsApp/X now shows a Tactile banner generated at /api/og — "Collect. Track. Trade. Win." with three showcase cards and live prices, rotating daily
• Text-only embeds get marketing copy with a price hook (Manga Luffy $3,975…)

📱 PWA & mobile

• Real home-screen icons: 180px apple-touch-icon (iOS previously screenshotted the page!), maskable-safe 192/512 Android icons — all the Tactile RB sticker
• Installed app no longer draws the top bar under the phone's clock/battery (safe-area insets)
• Page-stuck bug fixed: pull-to-refresh hijacked every upward swipe once you'd scrolled down — scrolling is free again, pull-to-refresh still works at the top
• Trade analyzer stacks vertically on foldables in landscape (Side B was off-screen)
• Purchase-date input no longer overflows the add-item modal on iOS
• "Hide loading progress" setting is actually honored — the pill never appears once set

🏠 Landing

• Rotating cross-TCG showcase (14 iconic cards: Lugia 1st Ed, Manga Luffy, Blue-Eyes, Riftbound Signatures, Traveling Chocobo, The Soul Stone…) with prices re-fetched live through Rarebox's own feeds on every view; the shelf total is computed from the cards actually shown
• Full-bleed TCG marquee, "Import your collection" CTA deep-linking to Settings

🧹 Housekeeping

• sitemap.xml/robots.txt pointed at the wrong domain since setup — fixed, plus JSON-LD structured data, canonical, clean URLs on the docs site
• Terms & Privacy rewritten for the current multi-TCG reality (all APIs listed, camera/OCR documented as fully on-device, contradictory analytics claims resolved)
• Anonymous, cookieless Vercel Web Analytics (page views only — no personal data, portfolio contents never leave the device)
• Reset Everything now wipes trade analyzer sides and decks too
• Tactile design docs live at docs.rarebox.io/design/tactile

v1.4.0 — Tactile: complete redesign, 10-second card DB, rebuilt scanner

The biggest release yet: a complete redesign, a 100× faster Pokémon database, a rebuilt card scanner, and a long list of correctness fixes across pricing, search, and imports.

🟡 Tactile — complete redesign

• New design system: cream paper, ink lines, 2px borders, hard offset shadows that compress when you press — every button physically "clicks"
• New navigation: bottom tab bar (Home · Search · Trade · Browse · More) on phones, foldables and tablets with iOS safe-area support and a raised Trade disc; slim top bar with inline nav on desktop. The sidebar is gone.
• "RB" sticker logomark across the top bar, favicon, and PWA icon
• New marketing landing page: rotating cross-TCG showcase — 14 iconic cards across all six games (Lugia 1st Edition, Manga Luffy OP05-119, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Riftbound Signatures, Traveling Chocobo, The Soul Stone…), with prices fetched live through Rarebox's own feeds on every view; the shelf total is computed from the cards actually shown
• Design Lab: five complete brand directions (Mono, Aurora, Tactile, Atelier, Pulse) live at /designs
• Every screen verified at 280px (foldable cover), 360px, 717px (unfolded foldable), 834px (tablet) and desktop — zero horizontal overflow, 44px+ touch targets, prefers-reduced-motion support

⚡ Speed

• Pokémon card database loads in ~10 seconds (was 10–45 minutes): card data now comes from the official bulk dataset via CDN; prices stream in through a background pass with incremental saves and automatic resume if you close the tab mid-pass
• Settings → Refresh card database actually re-downloads now (it skipped any cache under 24h since the day it shipped)

🔍 Search

• Token-based multi-word matching everywhere — "ahri inquisitive" now finds "Ahri - Inquisitive"
• Cached searches with no usable prices fall through to live APIs, so results always show prices
• Trade analyzer search shows 30 results (was 15) and renders "—" instead of $0.00 for unknown prices

📷 Scanner (rebuilt)

• tesseract.js v7 with correct worker API (scans previously failed 100% of the time with DataCloneError)
• Japanese card support: jpn model reads the name band, resolved via tcgdex with fuzzy prefix search
• Targeted name/number band passes with preprocessing for foil cards
• Failed scans open the search box pre-filled with the recognized text — fix a character instead of retaking the photo

💰 Pricing correctness

• Riftbound: Signature/Alternate Art cards no longer inherit the plain printing's price; PriceCharting fetches merge three queries and filter by set; search/portfolio/cache all share the variant-aware price map
• Yu-Gi-Oh!: each printing shows its own set price instead of the card's cheapest-reprint price
• Restored the portfolio price refresh that was stubbed out in the mobile revamp — Riftbound/MTG/One Piece portfolio prices update again

🇯🇵 Japanese Pokémon

• Card images fixed (tcgdex CDN URLs were built unpadded; the API's own image field is now used)
• The JP set-name table was rebuilt against tcgdex ground truth (~20 wrong mappings — e.g. Ancient Roar pointed at a set that doesn't exist)
• Collectr import resolution overhauled: one set name can map to several tcgdex sets and each is tried until the card exists; set-name aliases; card numbers validated; EN numbers normalized with letter-prefix retries; scored matching for other TCGs. 31/32 sample rows resolve correctly (the miss is data missing upstream)

🛠 Fixes & polish

• Portfolio desktop no longer renders every item twice
• Deck builder search shows card images again
• Meta Decks filter buttons no longer look permanently pressed
• Reset Everything now wipes trade analyzer sides and decks too, and reloads clean
• Card scans in Browse Sets sit in Tactile frames; TCG brand logos properly sized
• Image error fallbacks across all card grids and panels; dead code removed

v1.3.1 — Collectr import fixes & chart snapshots

Collectr Import

• Fixed Japanese card images and prices — now resolved via tcgdex API instead of just static URLs
• Fixed Yu-Gi-Oh game detection — Collectr uses "Yu-Gi-Oh!" which wasn't matching the GAME_MAP
• Fixed Pokémon accent detection — Collectr exports "Pokémon" with é, broke isPkmn flag
• Fixed JP CDN image URLs — series must be uppercase (SV not sv), localId zero-padded to 3 digits

Pokemon Card Cache (preloader)

• Made 80+ page pagination resilient to individual page failures (retries 3 before giving up)

Chart Snapshots

• Dashboard price refresh now records a snapshot afterwards — fixes flat charts that only showed stale data

Critical Bug Fixes

Trade Store Persistence Conflict

Trade store and portfolio store both wrote to the same IDB key (app_state) with independent debounced saves — one could overwrite the other's unsaved changes. Fixed by adding loadTradeState()/saveTradeState() with a dedicated trade_state key.

Price Alerts Never Auto-Checked

checkAlerts() and notifyTriggered() existed but were never called anywhere. Now invoked after every dashboard price refresh.

Dashboard Non-Pokemon Price Refresh Broken

Dashboard refresh loop used Pokemon-only APIs for all cards. Non-Pokemon cards (MTG, Lorcana, One Piece, Riftbound, Yu-Gi-Oh) failed silently. Fixed by splitting into Pokemon (pokemontcg.io/tcgdex) and non-Pokemon (PriceCharting) refresh paths.

resolveImportedItems Silently Fails for 4 TCGs

After Collectr import, card resolution only worked for Pokemon EN/JP and MTG. Other TCGs were skipped with a comment. Fixed by adding multiSearch resolution for all games.

---

Medium Bug Fixes

Navigation Hangs

Route transition with mode='out-in' could hang indefinitely when transitionend was delayed (e.g., during IndexedDB writes). Fixed by adding :duration=500 timeout.

Navigation Blank Screen

Vue Router reused component instances across route transitions, causing stale state. Fixed by adding :key on route transitions to force fresh component instances.

Lorcana Meta Deck Cards Not Loading (x2)

1. Wrong set field paths: Lorcast API returns set info under a nested set object (c.set.name, c.set.code) but code read non-existent top-level c.set_name/c.set_code.
2. Missing version-aware matching: searchLorcanaBySet compared fallback names like "Elsa — Snow Queen" against c.name ("Elsa") without appending the API's version field.
3. Incorrect fallback data: All 10 Lorcana meta deck fallback entries had wrong set codes and collector numbers. Corrected against live API data.

Riftbound Meta Deck Cards Not Loading

Empty setCode caused startsWith('') to match all sets, returning wrong cards. Fixed by guarding against empty setCode. Fallback decks replaced with real card names using correct API set codes (OGN, SFD).

Riftbound Card Import Timeout

Parallelized getRiftboundCards and skipped PriceCharting on bulk load to avoid timeouts.

Sealed Search Yielding Card Results

PriceCharting results included single cards. Added isSealed() keyword filter and single-card pattern detection (set codes, collector ratios).

beforeunload Handler Multiplication

Every init() call registered a new beforeunload listener. Fixed with a beforeunloadRegistered flag.

Lorcana Preloader Price Path Mismatch

Used c.tcgplayer.prices.holofoil.market but Lorcast returns c.prices.usd. Added fallback to c.prices?.usd.

One Piece API Response Shape Inconsistency

getOptCards() only checked Array.isArray(d) but API may return {data: [...]} or {cards: [...]}. Added fallback checks.

isCacheFresh First-Card-Only Check

Only checked cachedAt of the first card. Partial caches from interrupted preloads reported as fresh. Added card count check.

Router Missing 404 Catch-All, MockDashboard Route

Invalid URLs rendered blank page. Added /:pathMatch(.*)* catch-all with NotFoundView. Removed /mockup production route.

MTG Paginated Search Replaced with Bulk Data

~545 sequential Scryfall requests (45 min) reduced to 2 requests (~5s) using oracle_cards bulk data.

Sealed Search Filtering Out Prismatic Evolutions

isSealed() didn't check consoleName for keywords. Fixed by checking both productName AND consoleName.

Collectr Import Fixes

• Rewrote to import directly into Pinia store instead of localStorage+reload
• Added BOM stripping for CSV
• Added Excel (.xlsx) support
• Fixed portfolio name mapping (Portfolio Name column, not Category)
• Fixed market price mapping (date-stamped columns)
• Fixed reactivity (black screen after import)

---

Code Quality & Optimizations

• Hoisted dynamic import: import('../services/tcg/multiSearch.js') moved outside the loop in resolveImportedItems per PR review
• Empty catch blocks: Replaced with console.warn in critical price paths
• Added SEO meta descriptions to every route
• Navigation logging: Added router.beforeEach and router.afterEach for diagnostics
• Global error handlers: config.errorHandler and onErrorCaptured for silent failure detection
• Debounced chart rebuilds (300ms), 404s cached as misses
• API calls batched — max 3-5 concurrent requests
• Retry with backoff on transient errors (429, 5xx, timeout)
• Abort-on-unmount for in-flight API calls
• Decoupled preloader from search — only activate cache after all games finish

v1.2.0 — Riftbound TCG + Multi-TCG Sealed/Graded

Riftbound (League of Legends TCG)

• 7 sets, 1000+ cards via riftcodex.com (open API, no key needed)

v1.1.0 — Multi-TCG Browse & Search

What's New

Multi-TCG Browse

• Magic: The Gathering — every English set via Scryfall, USD prices, set symbol icons
• Disney Lorcana — all sets via Lorcast, USD prices
• One Piece Card Game — 20 English sets, 3300+ cards via optcgapi, USD market prices
• Pokémon keeps its full dedicated experience (unchanged)
• Branded landing page tiles with inline SVG logos

Multi-TCG Search

• Results sorted by name relevance across all games

Graded Cards for All TCGs

• Add graded slabs (PSA / BGS / CGC) for Magic, Lorcana, and One Piece cards
• Sealed products remain Pokémon-only (PriceCharting)

Performance & Polish

• In-memory API caching (1h sets, 10min cards) — no re-fetching on repeated visits
• Abort-on-unmount — navigating away cancels in-flight API calls
• Route ordering fix — Pokémon Sets page no longer shadowed by wildcard

Data Sources

• optcgapi.com (One Piece — sets, cards, market prices)
• Scryfall (Magic — sets, cards, USD prices)
• Lorcast (Lorcana — sets, cards, USD prices)

v1.0.1 — Critical IDB Fix

Critical fix: cards and items were failing to save after the IndexedDB migration.

Vue reactive proxies cannot be serialized by IDB's structured clone algorithm. Every save was throwing silently, corrupting app state and causing 'portfolio not found' on refresh.

Fix: deep-clone state before writing to IDB. Wrapped persist in try/catch so a failed write never breaks the app.
