v1.0.2 — Bug fix

Fixed: Sign in didn't stick after completing Google authentication

After clicking "Sign in with Google" and completing the login flow, the extension would appear to forget the session — clicking the extension icon again showed the sign-in screen as if nothing had happened.

This was caused by a browser behavior where Firefox closes the extension popup the moment it loses focus. Since the Google login window opens in a separate window, the popup was being torn down before it could save the login token.

The fix moves the authentication process to the extension's background script, which stays alive for the entire browser session. Logging in now works reliably — complete the Google sign-in and the extension will remember your session.

reader v1.0.1

What's new

Playback position memory
The app now remembers where you left off in each episode. Returning to the library after navigating away or reloading resumes from the exact position you stopped at. Position is cleared automatically when an episode finishes.

Duration displayed immediately
Episode length now shows in the audio player as soon as the library loads, rather than reading 0:00 until you press play.

Listened tracking
Episodes you've listened to all the way through are marked with a "Listened" badge and dimmed slightly in your library. The state persists across sessions.

Thumbs up / thumbs down ratings
You can now rate episodes directly from the library. Tap 👍 or 👎 on any card to send feedback.

Rate limit clarity
When you've hit your daily submission limit, the app now shows the exact time your quota resets rather than a generic message.

Free tier self-serve signups
New users can now be approved automatically when open slots are available, without waiting for manual admin review.

Account management
Voice profile preference and account deletion are now available from the profile page (/profile).

Bug fixes

• Fixed profile page not saving correctly due to a wrong localStorage key
• Fixed Wikipedia boilerplate being included in extracted article text

The extension itself is unchanged; this version bump packages it alongside the updated web app backend.
