New online_hot_default preference (on by default, so guests and accounts that never saved preferences get it): opening /online without a search replaces the URL with ?tags=order:hot — e621's metatag for the order the Hot page uses — so it is visible in the search field and shareable. Existing searches are never touched: they live in the URL, so a refresh or back/forward keeps them, while a fresh visit (nav pill, first time, after a long time away) gets the hot default again. Turning the toggle off opens Online on the site-wide newest posts as before. The toggle sits in Account -> Browsing preferences and saves with the rest of the settings; the backend validates the new boolean (400 for non-boolean input).
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.
