BelliedMonkey Translator

· Browser extension · Fixed: When a YouTube transcript can't be fetched, the extension no longer retries the same request over and over — repeated requests are exactly what triggers YouTube's transcript blocking, which takes down even the native captions that still worked. At most 3 requests per video now, with a clear "subtitles unavailable" instead of a broken pipeline. · App & browser extension · Fixed: When the network keeps timing out, translation stops by itself after 5 consecutive timeouts instead of retrying forever — tap "Retry" to resume. No more endless spinning. · App (iPhone / iPad / Mac) · New: The first screen asks what you came for — "read web pages", "listen", or "both" — and picks the path to match; if you only want listening, it no longer pushes you toward the extension. · App (iPhone / iPad) · Fixed: The "open the extension in Safari" banner no longer keeps coming back — one tap counts as asked; and an extension you already set up is no longer treated as missing just because it hasn't captured sentences yet. · App & browser extension · Improved: Review opens without signing in; finishing a session ends more clearly (one graded card completes it); the hardly-used "check page" link is gone. · App & browser extension · Internal: The entire UI layer now runs on React — same behavior, same look — so future interface work moves faster.
