A polish pass

The app was fast to build; this release is about making it feel finished.

States that no longer feel broken

  • Home keeps its shelves while it refreshes (no skeleton flash when you like a song) and shows a calm retry card when YouTube can't be reached.
  • Search shows placeholder rows while loading, keeps the clear button reachable, remembers your recent searches (with per-item remove and Clear) and offers a retry.
  • Library shows a loading skeleton instead of "Nothing here yet"; the sort row only appears where sorting means something, and your choice is remembered.

Player

  • Play/pause morphs, with a loading ring while a song starts (also on the mini-player).
  • Seek bar: time bubble while dragging, no snap-back, steady digits.
  • Title cross-fades on track change; "Playing from" shows the real source.
  • Mini-player: swipe left/right for next/previous, swipe down to dismiss.
  • Haptics on play/pause, skip, seek, reorder and long-press (respects the setting and Reduce motion).

Queue and playlists

  • Queue: Clear (keeps the playing song), undo on remove and clear, opens on the current song, stable drag handles.
  • Playlists: rename, delete with undo, swipe a song out with undo.

Everywhere

  • Tooltips and screen-reader labels on controls; song-row menus are 48 dp targets.
  • Bottom sheets open above the navigation bar.
  • Plurals fixed ("1 song"), text-size clamp fixed.
  • ~210 more strings translated (de, es, fr, it, nl, pl, pt); other languages fall back to English for them.
  • Wide windows: side navigation rail, centred content, a phone-shaped player, and shortcuts (Ctrl+N/P next/previous, / or Ctrl+K search, media keys).
