- Animated WebP (J-82) was being flattened to its first frame: browsers have no animated WebP encoder, so the modal now sniffs the file header (4 KB range request), explains the limitation and disables Process instead of overwriting the file with a single frame. - APNGs saved as .png took the still-image path and lost their frames; the header sniff looks for the acTL chunk, routes them to the animation pipeline (all frames + delays) and switches the UI to the animation options. The worker double-checks the header too, so no path can flatten an APNG. - New dependency-free imageformat module, verified against real files (J-82 animated, static WebP/PNG, and a generated APNG named .png).
J621
Self-hosted media library and e621 archive manager, rebuilt as a React SPA + Django REST API.
Structure
backend/ Django 6 + DRF API (SQLite in dev, MariaDB in production)
frontend/ Vite + React + TypeScript SPA
Development
Backend
cd backend
source venv/bin/activate
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py scan_files # index the watched folder
python manage.py runserver
Copy .env.example to .env and set WATCHED_FOLDER before scanning.
Frontend
cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev # http://localhost:5173, proxies /api to :8000
Production
Not wired up yet — planned: Nginx serving the SPA build, /media and /library media
directly, and proxying /api to Waitress/Django. See frontend/ design docs for the UI
specification.
