Skenai v2.1.0: the player, everywhere

A new player on phones

The cover sits inside the style's colour square, with play and pause on top. A line along the player's edge moves through the track, the title leads to the artist's page, and "next" plays through their tracks when you are on their page.

The player in its place

On large screens, the player sits bottom right on every page, in the same place as on the map. It moves up above the footer instead of covering it, and no longer flickers from one page to the next.

A map that no longer jumps

Going from the home page to the full map, the map stays where it is, without a jolt. An artist clicked on the home map arrives selected: circled, their links lit, their track in the player. On the full map, zoom and legend stay on screen.

Smoother transitions

On the trend wall, the map scrolls with the wall and leaves room for the player. The leaving page fades out instead of vanishing at once, the hand cursor shows on everything clickable, map discs included, and "How it works" fits on a phone.
