The bottom bar's title, artist and "Playing from X" all navigate. In a bar sized for a bar they are a few characters of text, which is not a touch target — and explore-link holds its navigation for one double-click interval and drops it if a second click arrives, a gesture that exists so double-clicking a row can play it and that means nothing on touch. Below the shell's phone breakpoint the three render as plain text. The words are unchanged: the source line still says where the queue came from, because dropping the link is the change and dropping the information would be a different and worse one. The cover art already carries the phone-only button that opens the full-screen Now Playing view, which is where the links live. This is in JS rather than in the stylesheet because what changes is the content, not its appearance — no CSS rule takes a click handler off an element. matchMedia is read in connectedCallback for the reason the reduce-motion query beside it already is, so a test can answer it first. Two smaller things. PHONE_QUERY moves out of track-list.ts into utils/breakpoints.ts: it was a private const when one component needed it, and a second reader is where a copy starts drifting from index.css. And `phone` joins geometryKey(), because crossing the breakpoint swaps a link for a bare string and the marquee travels a distance read from measuring it — the words being identical either side is not the same as the box measuring the same. Closes #61
YellowJacket Frontend
This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.
Dependencies
There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development
Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails.
You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.
If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules.
Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server.
For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.
Code
Web Components
Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together.
Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.
Typescript
To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.
Important Files and Directories
NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.
