The library is the accounts' shelf, but the tab kept two copies of that fact: the screen read `/me` once as it mounted and then stopped listening, so a visitor who signed in at the studio came back to the panel asking for the login they had just given. One record, read by the studio, the landing page and the shelf alike, is now the only copy — a sign-in anywhere is a sign-in everywhere. - auth.ts (new): the tab's one session record. `useAuth()` reads it through `useSyncExternalStore`, a `/me` already in flight is joined rather than repeated, and a call that fails leaves the record *unknown* rather than signed out, so a cold API never reads as a guest. - TopBar: LIBRARY is a link for a member and a dead button for everyone else. An anchor wearing `aria-disabled` still navigates on a click, and the screen behind it would only send the guest home again — so a guest gets the shape of the button and nothing to press. - Library: the gate is that shared record, not a copy taken at mount. A guest who opens `/library` straight is turned home with `replace`, so a Back press does not walk them into the same wall. The screen is mounted the whole time the tab is open, so the turn is for the address the visitor actually opened: a guest on the studio stays on the studio. - engine/library.ts: the thumbs hand the thread back. Two lanes instead of four, a frame's worth of idle between them, and one job per frame — a second caller joins the decode already running instead of starting another. Verified in Chrome (stubbed API, harness run against both the dev server and the built bundle): a guest gets a dead LIBRARY button and stays on /app; signing in at the studio turns it into the link and opens the shelf, with no second login and no "log in to browse" note; the same after a sign-in on the landing page; /library opened cold as a guest lands on / with Back going to /app; opened cold signed in, the shelf is up. On a folder of 22 frames the open runs 2 decodes at a time (was 5) and repeats no frame (44 decodes, was 56 — 12 frames were read twice); the tiles still come out 22 on the open, 24 by hand, 22 again after a reload.
RecipesCam
RecipesCam is a camera and photo-editing app built around recipes — reusable
looks that carry a film simulation plus a full set of adjustments. You shoot or
open a photo, dial in a look, and keep it as a recipe you can apply again, share
as a .recipe file, or save to your account.
It ships twice from one repository: a React Native (Expo) app for iOS and
Android, and a self-contained web build under docker/ that runs the same
render pipeline in the browser.
What it does
- Shoot with a recipe applied. Live viewfinder, GPS-tagged captures, and the recipe baked into the saved file.
- Film simulations. Built-in looks — PROVIPES, VELVIPES, CLASSIC CHRIPES, CLASSIC NEGIPES, ASTIPES, ETERNIPES, ACRIPES, B&W HIGH CONTRAST and the LC STREETLIFE pair — each with its own grain and tone curve.
- The full adjustment set. Exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows, saturation, colour temperature, clarity, grain, and an HSL mixer with a colour picker that samples straight off the photo.
- Geometry. Crop to a fixed ratio or free-form, quarter turns, and a straighten ruler, plus printed frames (classic border, retro instant, wall frame portrait/landscape).
- Finishing. Watermark and GPS stamp, EXIF carried through the export, JPEG written with a proper 300 DPI JFIF header.
- On-device upscaling. A Real-ESRGAN pass runs locally when an export asks for more pixels than the source has — no server sees the photo.
- Recipes. Save, favourite, export and import
.recipefiles; the web build keeps them in your account, the phone build also keeps them on device.
The two builds
| Build | Where | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| iOS / Android | repo root | Expo + React Native, @shopify/react-native-skia for the render pipeline, NativeWind for styling |
| Web | docker/ |
Vite + React, CanvasKit (canvaskit-wasm) for the same pipeline, Fastify + SQLite API for accounts and recipes |
The render engine is shared by design: the web build compiles the app's own
src/utils/* and type definitions unchanged, with @shopify/react-native-skia
aliased to a CanvasKit shim (docker/frontend/src/engine/skiaShim.ts). A look
looks the same on both because it is the same code.
Running the web build
cd docker
cp .env.example .env
docker compose up -d --build
# → http://localhost:8090
Photos never leave the browser: grading, framing, watermarking and JPEG
encoding all run in the visitor's tab; the API only stores accounts and recipe
JSON. See docker/README.md for the layout and the proxy setup.
Running the app
npm install
npx expo start # Expo Go / dev client
npx expo run:android # or run:ios for a native build
