- Flag font: ship a committed fontTools subset (43 KB, -45%) of
TwemojiCountryFlags.woff2 with only the 15 flags the site uses, under a
content-hashed name with a preload on every flag-bearing page. The build
validates the subset against a manifest and fails when a new flag
appears without regenerating (npm run subset-flags). JS subsetters
(subset-font/harfbuzzjs) were rejected: their wasm builds silently drop
the COLR/CPAL color tables, rendering all flags invisible.
- Responsive mascots: legal/join/404 pages served 434-500px sources for
175-180px slots; the build now emits 180w/360w variants (AVIF 1x: ~7 KB
vs ~22 KB) and the pages use srcset. Small logo spots (14-42px) now use
the existing 64/128px variants instead of the 256px file.
- injectAvifPictures copies the img sizes attribute onto the AVIF
<source>; without it Chrome mis-selects w-descriptor candidates and can
drop the image entirely.
- AVIF conversion is cached by content hash (.avif-cache.json); the old
mtime check never hit because copyDirSync refreshes mtimes, so every
verify re-encoded all 26 files.
- HTML output is minified (comments + indentation, <pre> preserved,
newlines kept for inline-script safety): index.html 121 KB -> 93 KB.
- unicode-range trimmed to U+1F1E6-1F1FF; tag-sequence flags fall through
to the system emoji font.

The drift clamp saturated after ~2600px, so nothing moved on long
pages. The vertical drift now maps scroll progress (0..1 over the full
document) onto the stalks' overscan, so the parallax runs end to end.
Turn the background into a descent through the forest: god-ray light
shafts and the canopy fade out while a dusk tint, thicker mist, the
terracotta horizon glow and the fireflies fade in as you scroll down.
Fireflies additionally wander organically (independent translate
property composing with their scale pulse), and on hover-capable
devices the bamboo layers tilt subtly toward the cursor. All layers
animate transform/opacity only, rAF-throttled, reduced-motion safe.

v3.0.0 "The Greens Update" palette: forest-green oklch color system
(accent green + terracotta secondary) replaces the indigo/slate scheme
across the landing page and the extension popup/options. The blob
background becomes an animated bamboo forest overlay (parallax stalks,
falling leaves, canopy, ground mist, fireflies, light sweep, grain)
with prefers-reduced-motion support. Layout, structure and copy are
unchanged.

- New hero headline "Turn any video into a watch party" with animated
gradient highlight, sharper subtitle and quiet trust line under the CTAs
- Changelog badge redesigned as the koala's speech bubble (version and
release date baked in at build time, no version.json fetch anymore)
- Light/dark theme toggle in the header (dark default, pre-paint via
lang-init, full light theme across sections)
- Use cases and "Why KoalaSync" merged into one section with the three
strongest feature tiles; question-mark koala moved to the FAQ
- FAQ and self-hosting setup collapsed by default via shared
section-collapse component (hash deep links auto-open them)
- Compat/juggler section more compact
- og:image switched to the 1280x640 repository OpenGraph card (landing
and join page), generated during build
- "watch party" keyword added to meta title/description in all 15 locales
- All em-dashes removed from user-facing copy
