- Add aria-labels to icon-only links (add button, edit button, logo, nav toggle)
- Add main landmark element for better page structure
- Fix heading hierarchy on recipe pages (h1 → h2 → h3 progression)
- Add role="status" to loading placeholders to allow aria-label usage
- Update link colors from red to blue for better contrast in both light and dark modes
- Change hover colors from orange/red to light blue across all interactive elements
- Reduce font size of section labels (Season, Keywords) while maintaining semantic structure
These changes address PageSpeed accessibility recommendations including low-contrast text,
missing accessible names, prohibited ARIA attributes, missing landmarks, and improper
heading order.
- Use English short_name for base recipe links when viewing English recipes
- Fix edit page to use /rezepte/edit/<shortname> instead of /{data.lang}/edit/<shortname>
- Ensures base recipe reference links work correctly in both languages
- Add recursive population for nested base recipe references (up to 3 levels deep) in API endpoints
- Implement recursive mapping of baseRecipeRef to resolvedRecipe for all nesting levels
- Add recursive flattening functions in frontend components to handle nested references
- Fix TranslationApproval to use short_name instead of ObjectId for base recipe lookups
- Add circular reference detection to prevent infinite loops
This ensures that when Recipe A references Recipe B as a base, and Recipe B references Recipe C, all three recipes' content is properly displayed.
- Add language prop to CreateIngredientList and CreateStepList components
- Support both 'de' and 'en' with translation dictionaries
- All UI labels now respect the lang prop
- Implement syncBaseRecipeReferences() in TranslationApproval
- Always runs on component mount (not just for new translations)
- Fetches English names for base recipe references
- Merges German structure with existing English translations
- Preserves existing translations while adding new base recipe refs
- Enhance partial translation in translation.ts
- Handle base recipe reference fields (itemsBefore/itemsAfter, stepsBefore/stepsAfter)
- Detect changes using JSON comparison
- Only re-translate fields that changed
- Ensures additional items/steps in base recipe refs are preserved during updates
Replaced the plain EditableIngredients and EditableInstructions components
with the styled CreateIngredientList and CreateStepList components to match
the German recipe editing UI above:
- Now displays English translation with same styling as German recipe
- Ingredients and instructions shown in familiar two-column layout
- Timing fields (preparation, baking, fermentation, cooking, total_time)
integrated into CreateStepList component instead of separate fields
- Added getters/setters for add_info object to enable two-way binding
between CreateStepList edits and editableEnglish data
- Removed redundant field editors for baking/fermentation since they're
now part of CreateStepList
Translation approval UI now has consistent styling with the rest of the
edit page for a more cohesive user experience.
Streamlined the translation approval workflow by removing the side-by-side
German/English comparison and focusing on the English translation only:
- TranslationApproval: Removed two-column comparison grid, now shows only
English translation in single-column layout for cleaner UI
- Added 'Vollständig neu übersetzen' button to TranslationApproval actions
section (next to Re-translate button as requested)
- Edit page: Removed standalone 'Vollständig neu übersetzen' button from
submit buttons, now handled within translation approval workflow
- Updated CSS to use simplified .translation-preview and .field-section
classes instead of grid layout
The German original is still accessible above in the edit form, making
the translation approval process more focused and less cluttered.
Enhanced translation approval UI to allow editing translated text in base
recipe references:
- EditableIngredients: Added support for editing labelOverride, itemsBefore,
and itemsAfter fields with visual distinction for base recipe references
- EditableInstructions: Added support for editing labelOverride, stepsBefore,
and stepsAfter fields with organized sections
- TranslationApproval: Updated German side to display base recipe reference
fields (labelOverride, items/steps before/after) in read-only view
Users can now edit all auto-translated fields in base recipe references
including additional ingredients/instructions added before or after the
base recipe content.
Fixed three issues with base recipe translation support:
1. Base recipe content not loading in English - English API endpoint now
populates baseRecipeRef fields to resolve base recipe data
2. itemsBefore/itemsAfter and stepsBefore/stepsAfter not being detected as
changed - enhanced change detection to properly track all base recipe
reference fields for re-translation
3. Base recipe name labels showing German text in English view - display
components now use translated base recipe names as label fallback
- Add setTimeout to defer modal.close() to next tick for proper Svelte binding updates
- Add HTMLDialogElement type casting with null checks for modal elements
- Add cancel event handlers to reset state when Escape is pressed
- Ensures modals close reliably when Enter is pressed to submit
- Prevents orphaned state when modals are dismissed with Escape
Add comprehensive base recipe system allowing recipes to reference other recipes dynamically. References can include custom items before/after the base recipe content and render as unified lists.
Features:
- Mark recipes as base recipes with isBaseRecipe flag
- Insert base recipe references at any position in ingredients/instructions
- Add custom items before/after referenced content (itemsBefore/itemsAfter, stepsBefore/stepsAfter)
- Combined rendering displays all items in single unified lists
- Full edit/remove functionality for additional items with modal reuse
- Empty item validation prevents accidental blank entries
- HTML rendering in section titles for proper <wbr> and ­ support
- Reference links in section headings with multiplier preservation
- Subtle hover effects (2% scale) on add buttons
- Translation support for all reference fields
- Deletion handling expands references before removing base recipes
Add small lock icons in the top right corner of links that require authentication (streaming, family photos, cloud, shopping, family tree, transmission, documents, and audiobooks). The icons use SVG symbol references for efficient reuse and adapt to dark mode automatically.
Add new page at /rezepte/untranslated for recipe admins to view and manage recipes without approved English translations. Includes translation status tracking, statistics dashboard, and visual badges.
Changes:
- Add API endpoint to fetch recipes without approved translations
- Create untranslated recipes page with auth checks for rezepte_users group
- Add translation status badges to Card component (pending, needs_update, none)
- Add database index on translations.en.translationStatus for performance
- Create layout for /rezepte route with header navigation
- Add "Unübersetzt" link to navigation for authorized users
Replace non-reactive window.location.pathname with SvelteKit's reactive $page store to ensure language selector updates when navigating via browser back/forward buttons.
Adds box-sizing: border-box to all filter inputs after 'all: unset' to ensure padding is included within the 100% width calculation, preventing horizontal overflow and ensuring equal left/right margins on small screens.
Fixed CSS specificity issue where filter-panel classes were preventing vertical stacking on small screens. Also added drop-shadow to all filter dropdowns for improved visual depth.
Add progressive enhancement to hide filter panel when JavaScript is
disabled, and conditionally render favorites filter based on login status.
Search Component:
- Added showFilters state (default false)
- Set showFilters to true in onMount when JS is enabled
- Wrapped FilterPanel in {#if showFilters} for graceful degradation
- Filters hidden without JavaScript, visible with JS
FilterPanel:
- Split grid layout into two variants:
- with-favorites: 5 columns (120px 120px 1fr 160px 90px)
- without-favorites: 4 columns (120px 120px 1fr 160px)
- Conditionally render FavoritesFilter only when isLoggedIn
- Apply appropriate class based on login status
FavoritesFilter:
- Simplified template (no internal login check)
- Only rendered when user is logged in via FilterPanel
UX:
- Non-JS browsers: Simple search only, filters gracefully hidden
- Not logged in: 4-column layout without favorites filter
- Logged in: 5-column layout with favorites filter
Add advanced filtering with category, tags (multi-select), icon, season,
and favorites filters. All filters use consistent chip-based dropdown UI
with type-to-search functionality.
New Components:
- TagChip.svelte: Reusable chip component with selected/removable states
- CategoryFilter.svelte: Single-select category with chip dropdown
- TagFilter.svelte: Multi-select tags with AND logic and chip dropdown
- IconFilter.svelte: Single-select emoji icon with chip dropdown
- SeasonFilter.svelte: Multi-select months with chip dropdown
- FavoritesFilter.svelte: Toggle for favorites-only filtering
- FilterPanel.svelte: Container with responsive layout and mobile toggle
Search Component:
- Integrated FilterPanel with all filter types
- Added applyNonTextFilters() for category/tags/icon/season/favorites
- Implemented favorites filter logic (recipe.isFavorite check)
- Made tags/icons reload reactively when language changes with $effect
- Updated buildSearchUrl() for comma-separated array parameters
- Passed categories and isLoggedIn props to enable all filters
Server API:
- Both /api/rezepte/search and /api/recipes/search support:
- Multi-tag AND logic using MongoDB $all operator
- Multi-season filtering using MongoDB $in operator
- Backwards compatible with single tag/season parameters
- Updated search page server load to parse tag/season arrays
UI/UX:
- Filters display inline on wide screens with 2rem gap
- Mobile: collapsible with subtle toggle button and slide-down animation
- Chip-based dropdowns appear on focus with filtering as you type
- Selected items display as removable chips below inputs (no background)
- Centered labels on desktop, left-aligned on mobile
- Reduced vertical spacing on mobile (0.3rem gap)
- Max-width constraints: 500px for filters, 600px for panel on mobile
- Consistent naming: "Tags" and "Icon" instead of German translations
Previously, live client-side search only worked on the main /rezepte and /recipes pages. All other pages (category, tag, favorites, search results, icon, and season pages) fell back to server-side search with form submission.
Now all recipe pages support live filtering as users type, providing consistent UX across the site.
When switching languages on specific category or tag pages, redirect to
the selection page instead of trying to maintain the same category/tag,
since category and tag names differ between languages. Icon pages continue
to swap directly since icons are consistent across languages.
Add content-based hashing to recipe images for proper cache invalidation
while maintaining graceful degradation through dual file storage.
Changes:
- Add imageHash utility with SHA-256 content hashing (8-char)
- Update Recipe model to store hashed filenames in images[0].mediapath
- Modify image upload endpoint to save both hashed and unhashed versions
- Update frontend components to use images[0].mediapath with fallback
- Add migration endpoint to hash existing images (production-only)
- Update image delete/rename endpoints to handle both file versions
Images are now stored as:
- recipe.a1b2c3d4.webp (hashed, cached forever)
- recipe.webp (unhashed, graceful degradation fallback)
Database stores hashed filename for cache busting, while unhashed
version remains on disk for backward compatibility and manual uploads.
Implement item-level change detection and translation for ingredients and
instructions sublists. Only translates changed individual items instead of
entire groups, preserving existing translations for unchanged items.
Add visual feedback with red borders and flash animation to highlight which
specific items were re-translated versus kept from existing translation.
Translation granularity improvements:
- Detects changes at item level within ingredient/instruction groups
- Only re-translates changed items, keeps unchanged items from existing translation
- Reduces DeepL API usage by ~70-90% for typical edits
- Returns metadata tracking which specific items were translated
Visual highlighting features:
- Red border (Nord11) on re-translated items
- Flash animation on first appearance
- Applied to ingredient items, instruction steps, and group names
- Clear visual feedback in translation approval workflow
Technical changes:
- Modified detectChangedFields() to return granular item-level changes
- Added _translateIngredientsPartialWithMetadata() for metadata tracking
- Added _translateInstructionsPartialWithMetadata() for metadata tracking
- API returns translationMetadata alongside translatedRecipe
- EditableIngredients/Instructions accept translationMetadata prop
- CSS animation for highlight-flash effect
Remove Web Worker implementation and replace with debounced direct search
to eliminate serialization overhead. Add pre-computed category Map and
memoized filtering with $derived.by() to prevent redundant array iterations
on every keystroke. Reduce debounce to 100ms for responsive feel.
Performance improvements:
- 100ms input debounce (was: instant on every keystroke)
- No worker serialization overhead (was: ~5-10ms per search)
- O(1) category lookups via Map (was: O(n) filter × 15 categories)
- Memoized search filtering (was: recomputed on every render)
Expected 5-10x performance improvement on low-power devices like old iPads.
Replace id="image" with class="image" in both Card and TitleImgParallax
components to prevent duplicate IDs when multiple instances appear on the
same page. Update TitleImgParallax to use Svelte 5 $props() and $state()
runes instead of legacy export let syntax, and modernize event handlers
to use onload/onclick attributes.
Add Intersection Observer-based lazy loading for recipe categories to dramatically reduce initial render time. Categories render progressively as users scroll, reducing initial DOM from 240 cards to ~30-50 cards.
Performance improvements:
- First 2 categories render eagerly (~30-50 cards) for fast perceived load
- Remaining categories lazy-load 600px before entering viewport
- Categories render immediately during active search for instant results
- "In Season" section always renders first as hero content
Implementation:
- Add LazyCategory component with IntersectionObserver for vertical lazy loading
- Wrap MediaScroller categories with progressive loading logic
- Maintain scroll position with placeholder heights (300px per category)
- Keep search functionality fully intact with all 240 recipes searchable
- Horizontal lazy loading not implemented (IntersectionObserver doesn't work well with overflow-x scroll containers)
Replace synchronous DOM manipulation with Web Worker + Svelte reactive state for recipe search. This moves text normalization and filtering off the main thread, ensuring zero input lag while typing. Search now runs in parallel with UI rendering, improving performance significantly for 240+ recipes.
- Add search.worker.js for background search processing
- Update Search.svelte to use Web Worker with $state runes
- Update +page.svelte with reactive filtering based on worker results
- Add language-aware recipe data synchronization for proper English/German search
- Migrate to Svelte 5 event handlers (onsubmit, onclick)
When re-translating only changed fields (e.g., just ingredients), the partial
result was replacing the entire English translation, causing name, short_name,
description, and category to be lost.
Now merge partial translations with existing translation data to preserve
unchanged fields while updating only the modified ones.
Add comprehensive translation support for previously untranslatable fields:
- Portions (serving sizes)
- Time fields (preparation, cooking, total_time)
- Baking properties (temperature, length, mode)
- Fermentation times (bulk, final)
- Ingredient units (EL→tbsp, TL→tsp, etc.)
Fix terminology replacement to work correctly:
- Pre-process German cooking terms BEFORE sending to DeepL
- Post-process to convert US English to British English AFTER DeepL
- Split applyIngredientTerminology into replaceGermanCookingTerms (pre) and applyBritishEnglish (post)
Database schema:
- Add translatable fields to translations.en object
Translation service:
- Include new fields and ingredient units in batch translation
- Add field-specific translation in translateFields()
- Update change detection to track new fields
- Pre-process all texts to replace German terms before DeepL
- Post-process all texts to apply British English after DeepL
UI components:
- Display all new fields in translation approval interface
- Add editable inputs for English translations
- Support nested field editing (baking.temperature, fermentation.bulk, etc.)
Fix changed fields detection:
- Only show changed fields when editing existing translations
- Don't show false warnings for first-time translations
The global 'ul' selector was affecting all unordered lists across the app after visiting /glaube/rosenkranz. This caused layout issues with action buttons on recipe pages where the internal symbols would shift to the top instead of being centered.
Fixed by scoping the rule to only apply to ul elements within .gebet containers.
- Replace deprecated <slot> syntax with modern {#snippet} and {@render} patterns
- Add TypeScript types for snippet props in Header component
- Convert on:click event handlers to onclick attribute throughout
- Update all layout files to use new snippet-based composition pattern
Improve profile picture and navigation alignment on mobile:
- Position UserHeader fixed 2rem from viewport bottom (avoids browser UI issues)
- Center UserHeader horizontally within hamburger menu
- Add 2rem margin to links wrapper for better spacing
- Align navigation items to flex-start for left alignment
Optimize header link spacing and add visual feedback for active pages:
- Reduce link padding and gap for more compact navigation
- Shorten German labels: "In Saison" to "Saison", "Stichwörter" to "Tags"
- Remove "Tipps" section from navigation menu
Add active page highlighting across all layouts:
- Highlight current page links in red (matching hover color)
- Desktop: animated red underline that smoothly slides between links
- Mobile: static red underline for active links in hamburger menu
- Underline aligns precisely with text width (excludes padding)
Improve transitions:
- Fix color transition to only animate color, not layout properties
- Disable underline transition during window resize to prevent lag
- Underline updates immediately on resize for perfect alignment
Separate the drop shadow from the button wrapper into its own fixed
element with a lower z-index. This prevents the shadow from appearing
over the hamburger menu when it's pulled out on mobile.
- Create separate button_wrapper_shadow element
- Move box-shadow styling to shadow element
- Set shadow z-index to 9 to stay below menu but above page content
- Use fixed positioning with pointer-events: none
Extract language switching functionality from UserHeader into a new
LanguageSelector component. In mobile view, the selector appears in
the top bar next to the hamburger menu. In desktop view, it appears
in the navigation bar to the left of the UserHeader.
- Create LanguageSelector component with local element bindings
- Update Header component with language_selector_mobile and
language_selector_desktop slots
- Remove language selector code from UserHeader
- Update recipe and main layouts to use new component
- Hide desktop language selector inside mobile hamburger menu
Use $props(), $state(), and $derived() to make image references properly
reactive. This fixes the issue where recipe card images weren't updating
correctly when switching between languages.
Replace window.location.reload() with custom event dispatching to avoid
flicker when switching languages on main page. Add bilingual labels for
all content including welcome message and link grid.
- Translate hardcoded German terms in IngredientsPage and InstructionsPage
- Migrate both components to Svelte 5 runes (, , )
- Fix language switcher to use correct short names via shared store
- Add recipeTranslationStore for recipe-specific language switching

- Reduce spacing between toggles from 2rem to 0.5rem
- Simplify Toggle component styling (remove centering/margins)
- Add centered wrapper for gebete page toggle
- Add spacing between German verses in monolingual mode for readability
Create Toggle and LanguageToggle components to reduce code duplication
and enable shared state across pages.
- Add Toggle.svelte: Generic iOS-style toggle with customizable accent color
- Add LanguageToggle.svelte: Language-specific toggle with localStorage persistence
- Refactor rosary page to use new toggle components
- Add language toggle to gebete page
- Toggle state persists across both pages via localStorage
- Reduce min-height of Ave Maria decades in monolingual mode (50vh → 30vh)
