Better Search on Tag Pages
Finding files within a tag is now easier. On desktop, the search bar is always visible — just start typing to filter files by name or description. On mobile, tap the search icon to expand the input, type to filter, and tap X to close. The Escape key also clears search on desktop. When you open search on mobile, the breadcrumbs hide to give you more space to type. On mobile, the grid/list view toggle, sorting options, and share button are combined into a single menu button (⋮) for a cleaner interface.
Refreshed Sidebar Navigation & Larger Trending Cards on Home
The sidebar is now cleaner and easier to use. Section labels like "Trending" and "Categories" are more distinct, and there's more space between items so you can tap accurately without mistakes. Trending items now show a flame icon for quick recognition, and the contact links (email, phone, website) at the bottom are more prominent.
The trending section on the home page now shows bigger, more prominent cards. On mobile, you'll see about 1.5 cards at a time instead of 2.7, making thumbnails easier to see. On desktop, fewer but larger cards are displayed for better visual impact. The scrolling now snaps smoothly into place when you swipe on mobile.
Track Thumbnail Priority Update
What changed: Individual audio tracks now use their own assigned thumbnail image as the first priority when displaying artwork.
Before: Track listings, detail pages, and social media (SEO) always showed the category, album, or artist image — even when the track had its own custom thumbnail.
After: If a track has its own image in the database, that image is shown everywhere (track lists, player, detail page, social sharing). Only falls back to category/album/artist images if the track has no custom image.
Where it applies:
Track listing pages
Track detail page hero image
Audio player (mini + expanded)
SEO metadata (OpenGraph images for social media)
All 5 track types: Songs, Classes, Commentaries, Meditation Music, Avyakt Mahavakya
Impact: Tracks with custom thumbnails will now display correctly across the entire BKAudio experience.
