Adds an audit trail per board, visible from a new clock-icon button on the
toolbar. Useful for review-style work where someone wants to see who
contributed which references and when.
Logged events (high-signal only — canvas-edit noise intentionally skipped):
- image / video / pdf added (whether dropped, pasted, or pulled from a URL)
- board created / renamed / deleted
- thread started, resolved, reopened
- comment posted on a thread
Backend:
- new activity_logs table (id, board_id, user_id, denormalised actor name +
email, action, target_type/id/label, metadata JSON, created_at) with an
index on (board_id, created_at DESC).
- logActivity helper resolves the user once at log time and stores their
display name + email so entries survive deactivation/rename.
- recordActivity wraps logActivity + a Socket.IO emit to the board's room
so the panel updates live without polling.
- GET /api/boards/:id/activity?limit=&before= for pagination
(collection-membership gated, viewer+).
Frontend:
- ActivityPanel side-drawer: time-grouped feed (Today / Yesterday / older),
per-action icons + tone colours (add/remove/edit/comment), pagination
via "Load older", live append on Socket.IO 'activity:new'.
- Relative timestamps refresh every 30s.
- Wired into Editor + Toolbar.
README updated; roadmap entry checked off.
- Remove Mattermost integration (OAuth, channel bridge, file sync watcher,
frontend import modal). RefBoard now ships as a self-contained app.
- Replace SSO Login screen with email/password form (+ optional register link
gated by ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION).
- Add SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL / SEED_ADMIN_PASSWORD env-var bootstrap so a fresh
install ships with an admin account on first boot (idempotent).
- ALLOW_SELF_REGISTRATION flag (default false) gates POST /api/auth/register.
First user can always register (auto-promoted to admin).
- Drop mattermost_id and mm_file_id columns + board_channel_links table
from the schema; remove related db helpers and exports.
- Add MIT LICENSE, comprehensive README, .env.example, docker-compose.yml
(bundles MinIO so one command boots a working stack).
- Expand .gitignore for typical Node + Docker dev artefacts.
- Remove persistent font-size slider from main toolbar (tools only)
- Lock in zoom-aware creation defaults as named constants
- Split contextual toolbar by object type: text vs sticky
- Text: fontSize + fontFamily + text color
- Sticky: fontSize + fontFamily + text color + note fill color
- Mixed selection: hide toolbar
- Bake scale into fontSize on text resize (reset sx/sy to 1)
- Sticky resize stays layout-driven (no font change)
- Tool button clicks no longer exit review mode
- Review button moved outside tool group with divider separator
- Tool active state no longer dimmed during review mode
- Updated hint text for review mode
- PinOverlay: zero-allocation rendering with in-place Graphics/Text updates,
fix WebGL texture crash (addressModeU null) from orphaned Text objects
- Pins always visible on media, track during drag via updatePositions() fast path
- Replace eraser with Review mode in toolbar tool group (orange gradient)
- Add tool instruction hints bar below toolbar (context-sensitive per tool)
- Feedback panel: glassmorphism, improved ThreadDetail/CommentItem/ThreadListItem
- Timestamps: relative with "ago" suffix, full date on hover tooltip
- De-emphasize pin numbers, show status text in thread list
- Animated arrangement transitions (easeOutCubic, 320ms) for pack/grid/row/column
- Disable snap guides (user requested)
- Paste now selects newly created items
- Remove eraser keyboard shortcuts, remap tool shortcuts
- Orphaned thread cleanup: safe destroy check for deleted media pins
New ExportDialog component with scope (selection/all), filename,
format (PNG/JPEG/WebP), quality slider, scale multiplier, and
background color picker. Wired into Toolbar and Editor.
dashed border and "Inbox" label. Auto-synced media slides in with
spring animations and random offset/rotation for a natural look.
MattermostImport: modal dialog for pulling images from a MM thread
URL and managing linked channels for auto-sync. Uses the existing
dark modal styling pattern from ShortcutsHelp.
Editor wiring: toolbar button for MM import, InboxZone added to
viewport on init, socket listener for board:media-arrived events
that routes assets into the InboxZone with a toast notification.
Full-featured PureRef-style collaborative canvas for game dev teams:
- Layer panel with visibility, lock, drag reorder, group/ungroup (Ctrl+G/Shift+G)
- Arrangement tools (grid, row, column) via right-click context menu
- Copy to system clipboard (Ctrl+C writes PNG for external paste in Paint etc.)
- Number shortcuts (1-5) for tool selection with visible shortcut badges
- Premium dark UI across all pages (Login, Collections, Boards, Editor)
- Socket.IO rooms for cursors, transforms, and presence notifications
- MinIO image storage with backend proxy, drag/drop and paste upload
