Generations now return immediately with a 'generating' status and appear
in history right away. TTS runs in a serial background queue to avoid
GPU contention. Users can kick off multiple generations without blocking.
- Async POST /generate creates DB record immediately, queues TTS work
- Serial generation queue prevents concurrent GPU access (Metal/CUDA/CPU)
- SSE endpoint GET /generate/{id}/status for real-time completion tracking
- Retry endpoint POST /generate/{id}/retry for failed generations
- Store engine and model_size on generation records for retry support
- History cards show animated loader (react-loaders) for generating/playing
- Failed generations show retry button instead of actions menu
- Model downloads happen inline in the queue instead of rejecting with 202
- Stale 'generating' records marked as failed on server startup
- Autoplay on generate setting (default: on)
- Show engine name on generation cards
- Remove sidebar generation spinner
- Checkbox alignment fix in settings
- Split chunking/crossfade sliders into dedicated GenerationSettings card
- Merge connection status badges into ConnectionForm (remove ServerStatus card)
- 2-column grid layout for the entire settings page
- GPU Acceleration: remove icon, badge, and MLX info card
- Models: merge 'Other Voice Models' into single 'Voice Generation' list
- Model detail: remove 'Downloaded' badge, border above actions, swap
badges above stats row, match disk size font to stats
Persisted setting (default 800 chars) controls how long text is split
before generation. Lower values improve quality for long outputs by
keeping each chunk well within the model's context window.
- Slider in Server Connection settings (100–2000 chars, step 50)
- Stored in localStorage via Zustand persist
- Passed as max_chunk_chars on every generation request
- Frontend text limit raised to 50,000 to match backend
- Audio player: aria-labels for Play/Pause, Loop, Mute, Close; labelled playback and volume sliders
- Generation: aria-labels for Generate speech and Fine tune instructions buttons
- Voice cards: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to select
- History rows: focusable, labelled, Enter/Space to play; transcript textarea labelled
- Voices tab: focusable rows, labelled, Enter/Space to edit; Actions button labelled
- Model management: focusable model rows and labelled Download/Delete buttons
- Server tab: regions with aria-label and tabIndex for Connection, Status, App Updates
- Stories: focusable story rows, labelled, Enter/Space to select; Actions and track editor buttons labelled
- Voice profile samples: Play/Pause/Stop and mini-player slider labelled
Tested with NVDA and Narrator on Windows. See docs/PR-ACCESSIBILITY.md for full description.
Made-with: Cursor
Exposes the existing remote server mode through a checkbox in Server
Connection settings. When enabled, the server binds to 0.0.0.0 instead
of 127.0.0.1, making it accessible from other devices on the network.
The plumbing already existed (Rust sidecar passes --host 0.0.0.0 when
remote=true, serverStore has mode state, Python backend accepts --host),
but the UI hardcoded startServer(false). This wires it up.
Closes#104
- Replaced direct Tauri API calls with a unified platform context across multiple components, enhancing code maintainability and readability.
- Removed the deprecated tauri.ts file, consolidating platform-related logic into the new PlatformContext.
- Updated components such as App, AudioPlayer, and ServerSettings to utilize the new platform context for lifecycle management and server interactions.
- Improved platform detection and handling for audio playback and system audio capture functionalities.
- Ensured consistent error handling and user feedback across the application when interacting with platform-specific features.
- Updated ConnectionForm to utilize a Checkbox component for managing the "keep server running" setting, enhancing user interaction.
- Refactored Checkbox component to use a button element for better accessibility and visual feedback.
- Streamlined import statements and improved code organization across multiple components for better readability.
- Eliminated CheckCircle2 icon from ModelManagement, ModelProgress, ServerStatus, and UpdateStatus components to streamline the visual presentation.
- Updated import statements accordingly to reflect the removal of unused icons.
- Changed the server URL from 'http://localhost:8000' to 'http://127.0.0.1:17493' in the server store and connection form.
- Enhanced server startup logging to display the dynamically assigned server URL.
- Updated server management logic in main.rs to reflect the new port configuration and improve orphaned process handling.
- Added `setKeepServerRunning` function to manage server persistence on app close.
- Integrated server running preference in `ConnectionForm` and synced settings on app startup.
- Enhanced server management in `main.rs` to handle orphaned processes based on user preference.
- Improved cleanup logic to ensure proper termination of server processes when not set to keep running.
- Added new Tauri plugins: @tauri-apps/plugin-process and @tauri-apps/plugin-updater to improve application capabilities.
- Introduced UpdateStatus component to display update information in the UI.
- Enhanced GenerationForm to include an optional instruct field for additional input.
- Refactored various components for improved styling and responsiveness, including Sidebar, AudioPlayer, and ProfileCard.
- Updated API models and schemas to accommodate new instruct parameter in generation requests and responses.
- Improved documentation for autoupdater setup and usage.
- Renamed backend development script from `dev:backend` to `dev:server` for clarity.
- Added new macOS icon assets and configuration files for the application.
- Enhanced App component to improve server management during production and development modes.
- Updated ConnectionForm to reset state after successful submission and conditionally render the update button.
- Implemented database initialization on application startup in the backend.
- Introduced a checkbox in the ConnectionForm to allow users to keep the server running when the app closes.
- Added a setupWindowCloseHandler function to manage server shutdown based on user preference.
- Updated App component to integrate the new window close handling logic.
- Created a reusable Checkbox component for better UI consistency.
- Modified serverStore to include state management for the new setting.
