+Web front-end for anime streaming: search, browse, and stream anime in
+the browser via anidb.app. Multi-user, with per-user watch history and
+HLS playback proxied through the backend. Tuned for phone as much as
+desktop.

 ## Features
 
-- Per-user accounts (CLI-created, no self-signup): 30-day signed
-  session cookie, 5 wrong attempts → 15-min lockout per user.
-  PBKDF2-SHA256 hashes in `server/data/users.json` (0600).
-- Per-user watch history (`server/data/history/<user>.json`): position
-  saved every ~10s, resume where you left off, top-5 "recently played"
-  on the home page, full history page with per-entry delete. Nothing
-  stored in the browser — new devices pick up your watch state after
-  login, isolated per account. In-header chip shows the user, with logout
-  + delete-account (hamburger menu).
-- Search with poster grid, detail view with synopsis + season tabs
-- HLS playback (vendored hls.js), browser ABR across 1080/720/360p;
-  loading/buffering overlay, and a failure overlay with Retry when a
-  stream can't be played
-- Dub/sub toggle
-- Fast repeat navigation: upstream data is TTL-cached and HLS
-  playlists/segments are LRU-cached, so re-opening a show or re-seeking is
-  near-instant (first load still pays the upstream round-trips)
-- Autoplays the first episode (or resumes the last watched one); if the
-  browser blocks autoplay, a "click to play" overlay appears
+### Accounts & watch history
+
+Accounts are created from the CLI only — there is no signup screen,
+because the app is meant to sit behind your proxy on the open
+internet. Each user gets a fully isolated watch history
+(`server/data/history/<user>.json`): nothing is stored in the browser,
+so a new device picks up your exact watch state after login. Deleting
+an account (hamburger menu → delete, or `server.users rm`) kills its
+session cookies immediately and removes its history.
+
+The history page shows every entry with poster, progress, and a
+per-entry delete button:
+
+![history](docs/img/history.png)
+
+### Home: continue watching
+
+The home screen leads with a **continue watching** hero — the most
+recently watched episode with its poster, position, and a Resume
+button — followed by a **recently played** grid with progress bars and
+relative timestamps.
+
+![home](docs/img/home.png)
+
+### Search
+
+The header search box queries anidb.app and shows results as a poster
+grid. Your last 8 searches (per user) appear in a dropdown under the
+box, filter live as you type, and click to re-run. Results open the
+detail view: synopsis, stats, season tabs, and filler badges.
+
+![search](docs/img/search.png)
+
+### Player
+
+Playback is HLS through a backend proxy (`/stream/{token}`) — the
+video CDN sends no CORS headers, so the browser can't fetch it
+directly. hls.js handles ABR across 1080/720/360p.
+
+- **Resume** — autoplay on open, resumes at the saved position; the
+  position is saved every ~10s
+- **Dub/sub toggle**, **playback speed** (0.5–2×, remembered), and a
+  **hide fillers** switch (fillers are badged and skipped by
+  prev/next/auto-next)
+- **Auto-next** — when an episode ends, a 5-second countdown offers the
+  next episode; Skip jumps straight to it, ✕ cancels
+- **Watched state** — completed episodes are dimmed with a ✓, the next
+  unwatched one is highlighted
+- **Failure overlay** with a Retry button if a stream can't be played,
+  plus loading/buffering indicators
+- **Fast repeat navigation** — upstream data is TTL-cached and HLS
+  playlists/segments are LRU-cached, so re-opening a show or re-seeking
+  is near-instant (the first load still pays the upstream round-trips)
