The site now speaks German, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese,
Korean and Hindi alongside English — 623 strings per language, 5,607
translations, covering the landing page, the key exchange, the chat, group
calls and every error along the way.
Each locale is a real page at a real URL (/de/, /fr/, …), generated at build
time from locales/*.json. That is the whole point: the app is client-rendered,
so a language that only swaps strings at runtime has no address for a crawler
to index and no link anyone can share. Each page carries its own canonical, a
reciprocal hreflang cluster and translated schema.org.
The URL decides the language, always. A stored preference only applies where
the address does not say, and nothing ever redirects on Accept-Language —
that is how sites become invisible to search engines outside one country.
robots.txt and sitemap.xml did not exist before; both are generated now.
Bugs found on the way, each with a test that would have caught it:
- partner logos used page-relative paths and 404'd from any /xx/ page
- post-build stamped ?v= only into the root shell, leaving locales behind
- "Back online" appeared on every page load, not just after being offline
- update timestamps were hard-coded to US format for every reader
- t() threw on a partial window, taking whole components down with it
Each conversation now runs its own WebRTC session with separate keys and SAS verification, so chats never mix. Adds a side panel to switch between open chats with unread badges, a New chat action that leaves existing chats connected, per-chat local labels stored only on this device, and an availability status (Available, Away, Busy, Invisible) shared end-to-end with connected peers. Also includes vendored Prism syntax highlighting, more reliable PWA update handling, and offline send queueing fixes. Version 4.10.0.
- Add UpdateManager and UpdateChecker for automatic version detection
- Add post-build script for meta.json generation and version injection
- Enhance Service Worker with version-aware caching
- Add .htaccess configuration for proper cache control
This ensures all users receive the latest version after deployment
without manual cache clearing.
