StoryPad v2.33.0

Hey everyone! StoryPad 2.33.0 is now live. This release is all about video, more backup options, and a smoother, more reliable app. Here’s what’s new:

Video support

• Add video support: capture, playback, and a unified media viewer (new AssetType.video, SpMediaTile, SpMediaViewer replacing SpImagesViewer/SpVideoPlayerView, consolidated “Add media” action sheet, “Record Video” FAB action).
• Gate media uploads behind a Wi-Fi/cellular setting (“Media Upload”: Wi-Fi Only / Wi-Fi & Cellular), defaulting to Wi-Fi & Cellular.
• Compress videos at pick time and stop buffering them in memory (video_compress, file-to-file copy instead of reading into Uint8List).
• Fail the video viewer page gracefully when a file can’t be decoded, instead of spinning forever.
• Extract media dimensions at pick time, not insert time (PickedMediaObject).
• Remove video button from FAB to avoid too many actions; add “Record Video” to quick actions instead.
• Close video integration gaps across storage, import/export, stats, and export (tar import, Cloud Optimize, Storage Management, Export Assets stats, Stats/home recap counts, analytics, markdown/text export, iOS/macOS permission strings; removed unused SpVideoDemoSheet).
• Rename the image embed to media, with legacy image embeds still supported for backward compatibility.
• Fix copilot review comments on the video-support PR.
• Keep picked video at 1080p (Res1920x1080Quality) instead of a blurry fixed-bitrate preset, and show a real determinate compression progress screen with cancel.
• Fix a showLoading bug (found while wiring up the compression screen) where a rebuilt dialog chained an extra Navigator.pop, occasionally popping the whole root navigator to a black screen.
• Use the native Android Photo Picker for media selection instead of the generic system file picker.

Multi-cloud backup (Nextcloud)

• Add Nextcloud support as a backup destination.
• Add customizable Nextcloud storage folder and per-service configuration display on the connected-service detail screen.
• Delete assets from every connected cloud service, not just Google Drive.
• Fix asset display/download/export/status to work with any connected cloud service (replace GoogleDriveAssetDownloaderService with generic BackupAssetDownloaderService; fix Library tab’s per-asset backup-status badges).
• Fix RevenueCat identity, data-loss, and stale-status bugs surfaced by multi-service review (signed-out Drive shadowing a connected Nextcloud account, local delete silently orphaning remote copies, Cupertino form error text not rendering, cross-service success/sync-status leakage).
• Fix destinationKey collision, single-provider download fallback, and account-switch gaps (percent-encode Nextcloud folder segment, try every matching destination on download, fix eligibleServices/globalId checks, disable server/username fields during reconnect, name the actual provider in QuotaException messages).
• Allow asset delete when a cloud destination isn’t reachable, instead of requiring sign-in to every provider it was ever uploaded to.
• Label asset delete action with only the reachable cloud provider(s), not every provider ever uploaded to.
• Show where Google Drive backups are stored (info line + link to Google’s appdata folder docs) on the backup detail screen.

Maps & location

• Speed up map markers: decode marker bitmaps at marker size, cache them in memory/disk, and stop discarding completed icons on every viewport change.
• Fix map pins flickering (invisible → placeholder → gone → photo) by resolving the first image asset before the initial draw.
• Add a manual “Map Provider” setting (Google Maps / MapTiler), surfaced for mainland-China timezones since Google Maps tile blocking can’t be detected from inside the app.
• Auto-refresh map pins and stats after story edits made elsewhere, reusing the existing global story-change listener.
• Zoom the map picker in closer initially so a place name resolves without a manual zoom-in; tidy map overlay button styling.
• Proxy MapTiler tile requests through static.storypad.me via a Cloudflare Worker, so the MapTiler API key is no longer embedded in the app.
• Disable MapTiler-backed online geocoding (SpNullGeocodingService used instead) as part of the tile-proxy change.
• Extract the static.storypad.me base URL into a shared kCdnBaseUrl constant.

Firebase/CDN decoupling

• Make Firebase init non-blocking (7s timeout, kFirebaseAvailable flag) so startup never hangs where Firebase/Google domains are blocked or throttled.
• Relocate CDN asset sources into the new static.storypad.me submodule and compile the storage hash map at build time (lib/gen/storage_hash_map.dart) instead of loading/parsing it at runtime.
• Cut Remote Config and Cloud Storage over to the CDN and drop Firebase: CdnCloudStorageAdaptor is now the sole cloud storage adaptor, new HttpRemoteConfigAdaptor fetches remote-config.json with a SharedPreferences cache; Firebase-backed adaptors and firebase_remote_config/firebase_storage deps removed.
• Route direct FirebaseCrashlytics.instance.log() calls (backup provider, cloud optimize) through the error-reporting adaptor so they don’t throw [core/no-app] when Firebase is unavailable.
• Skip gallery template usage tracking entirely when Firebase is unavailable, instead of touching Firestore and relying on try/catch.
• Let the community flavor build without the private private_keys/ submodule, falling back to an empty dart_defines/community.json.

UI/UX improvements

• Move the story share action into the Show/Edit AppBars, dropping the redundant one from the theme bottom sheet.
• Simplify the My Templates list into a flat, dividered list (matching Tags) with a real drag handle, replacing boxed cards with a markdown preview.
• Use the cached image file before rendering for smoother image rendering during scroll.
• Guard pop-with-result callbacks against stale route pops, so one back action can no longer pop more than one stacked screen.
• Fix JSON export silently no-op’ing with zero feedback on a fresh session (lastDbUpdatedAt still null).
• Make add-ons enabling open a sheet instead of toggling directly from the list tile, matching the reminders UX.
• Auto re-authenticate on genuine app resume (real backgrounding), not only when the lock barrier route isn’t current.
• Add a period reminder tile floating over the period calendar’s story list.
• Show combined sync step count across all signed-in services instead of resetting per service; disable the app-lock barrier during the biometric toggle’s native auth prompt.
• Cap the period calendar’s story-list top padding via SpStoryList; hide “next reminder” hints predicted more than 60 days out.
• Add a “Duplicate” action to the read-only story view, opening a pre-filled new-story edit view.
• Simplify the Templates AppBar action wiring, dropping the bubbled-up appBarActionsLoaderCallback/notifier plumbing.
• Cover the app-lock barrier instantly on inactive (not just paused) so real content can no longer flash during the OS app-switcher snapshot.
• Replace the fonts picker’s sticky header with a flat lazy ListView.builder to fix scroll lag.

Bug & crash fixes

• Fix untranslated reminder notification labels on cold start by moving notification init/reschedule after easy_localization has loaded.
• Fix a batch of Crashlytics-reported fatal crashes:
  • Bad state: No element from .last in a Drive helper (use .lastOrNull).
  • Bad state: Future already completed in GoogleDriveCloudService.getFileContent (missing cancelOnError).
  • permissionRequestInProgress crash on rapid reminder toggle.
  • Crash when sharing a story with empty text and no attachments.
  • Unhandled Connection aborted in AudioPlayerService, plus a completer left permanently uncompleted.
  • Bad state: No element in togglePinForStories on stale selection.
  • Invalid argument in the storage usage bar’s width clamp.
  • Unhandled avatar image load failures (Crashlytics reported as fatal).
  • Unhandled Firestore error in GalleryTemplateUsageService (now swallowed as best-effort).
  • Fatal font-load crash slipping past the Crashlytics ignore filter (broadened beyond SocketException).
  • ScrollController.offset read crash during multi-attach (list/grid layout switch).
  • Spurious fatal report from an unhandled asset-download completer race.
  • double.clamp crash in the storage bar from negative/non-finite layout width.
  • PlayerInterruptedException from disposing an AudioPlayer mid-setup.
• Fix light_rain.wav not being a perfect loop.
• Stop tag reorder from being scrambled by sync (partial-year restore rebuilding tags early, _reindex outranking real reorders, undefined tie order on equal index) — three separate root causes fixed together.

Localization

• Sync reviewed Korean translations from a community contributor, replacing machine-translated strings with a human review covering 303 of 526 keys (fixes mistranslations and two outright bugs: Japanese text in a snackbar, and an untranslated placeholder that would never interpolate).

Dependency updates

• Bump js-yaml 4.1.1 → 4.3.0, then 4.3.0 → 4.3.1 (bin/firebase_admin).
• Bump websocket-driver 0.7.4 → 0.7.5 (bin/firebase_admin, indirect).

Housekeeping

• Move docs to agent repo (internal doc relocation, no app behavior change).
• Version bumps: 2.32.1+795 → +796 → +798 → 2.33.0+800-internal.
