Extension Roadmap

[!Tip] If you want to work on any of these, feel free to create a new issue with what you'd like to work on and I'll add you as an Assignee for that task. Join our discord for feature/bug fix requests or to work on a specific task

A task-list of ideas I have for future releases.

Easy

• [ ] Option to show Romanized Lyrics
• [ ] Better UI for fullscreen videos.

Moderate

• [ ] Button to stop syncing
• [ ] Better compatibility with ThemeSong

Hard

• [ ] Inject lyrics based on mutation observers instead of setTimeout (Needs a bigger, much overdue refactor)
• [ ] Client-side lyrics caching for quick retrieval in a session/localstorage to avoid bumping backend
• [ ] Store backend lyrics permanently instead of caching with sqlite / postgres (DM me on my socials for env variables)
• [ ] Fallback lyrics with lrclib

Completed

• [x] #14
• [x] Make a standalone website under boidu.dev for Better Lyrics
• [x] Status Page
• [x] Localisation handler before searching for lyrics #12
• [x] Stylized lyrics (glow/wobble/slide) #36
• [x] #42 RTL formatting for Arabic songs
• [x] #46 Edge case : If the user scrubs to a part of the song after the vocals/lyrics are over, i.e, there's an ending section without lyrics - fix scroll (example: In Hotel California if the user scrubs or skips to 4:35, the scroll is glitched )
• [x] #48
• [x] Write steps to inject custom css (Already possible, not well documented though)
• [x] Add a dropdown to select custom font for lyrics. (Possible now through custom CSS)
