Changelog

2026-05-09

Replace the dashboard PDF pipeline with the embedded Typst compiler (typst + typst-pdf + typst-kit). No chromium subprocess, no temp files; fonts are searched once at startup and shared across renders
Restructure the axum server into per-feature route modules under src/routes/, with AppState/router assembly split into src/app.rs and the standard render context centralized in src/render.rs
Fix several dashboard issues exposed by the restructure (404 handling, breadcrumb edge cases)
Expand make clean to wipe target/, frontend deps, runtime data, and the cached topojson
Fix the mobile nav menu being clipped by the fixed navbar height

Rewrite the entire backend from Django to a single statically-linked axum binary in Rust. sqlx + SQLite directly, minijinja for templates, no more Gunicorn or Uvicorn or separate scheduler process. The collector endpoint and embed snippet are unchanged, so existing tracked sites keep reporting without edits
Drop the multi-user accounts model. Auth is now a single operator password from .env with signed-cookie sessions and SameSite=Strict instead of CSRF tokens
Route bot traffic into a dedicated bot_events table at write time so human dashboard queries never have to filter it
Auto-download the GeoIP database and ua-parser regexes on boot when missing or stale. The server still boots and serves dashboards if either download fails
Add an analytics migrate subcommand that imports an existing Django SQLite into the new schema while preserving property UUIDs, so embedded snippets keep working after the cutover
Add an in-memory dashboard cache (5-minute TTL, keyed by property + date range + filter), bypassed for PDF and markdown exports so they always reflect the live data
Add a stable /static/collector.js route so embed snippets don't break when Vite re-hashes the collector bundle

2026-04-26

Swap the US-only datamap for a Natural Earth world map with admin-1 drill-down on click
Switch IP geolocation from MaxMind to DB-IP City Lite (CC-BY-4.0, no signup, monthly auto-refresh)
Drop SQLite mmap_size to avoid a multi-process corruption hazard

2026-04-18

Replace the Playwright PDF pipeline with a headless Chromium subprocess wrapper and move the Docker base image to Alpine: smaller image, faster cold starts
Centralize SQLite settings and expand PRAGMA tuning (WAL, synchronous, cache, mmap, temp_store)
Speed up the property dashboard, split the property view, and surface bot traffic separately
Swap the Exim relay for a Python direct-to-MX email backend

2026-04-17

Redesign the whole dashboard with a warm-earth palette: mossy forest green and amber on deep charcoal, Monaspace Argon throughout, aligned to the status app
Rework the property dashboard with metric tiles, period-over-period deltas, chart panels, and compact ranked top-lists instead of Bootstrap list groups
Rework the properties listing page with search, live-signal tiles, and a dense row layout
Swap the bar-chart emoji favicon for a themed SVG mark matching the in-app logo
Add a /documentation link into the main nav so the collector snippet docs are easier to find
Restyle the collector-tag modal and accordion docs as terminal-style code blocks

Migrate Python package management from Pipenv/pyenv to uv
Switch frontend build from Yarn + Webpack to Bun + Vite
Fix d3/datamaps strict-mode crash under ESM so the US-state map renders again
Fix logout 405 by switching to a POST form + CSRF (Django 5 LogoutView is POST-only)
