New Achievement System
Achievement & Tier Tracking: A full-featured Achievements page has been implemented, tracking user milestones across multiple categories (e.g., total sessions, integration time, unique objects).
Tiered Rewards: 40 collectable achievements are structured into Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers, with dynamic visual styling, tier-specific icons, and a real-time progress bar.
Visual Gamification: New page featuring a confetti animation triggered upon unlocking new tiers, along with a visual “locked/unlocked” state to keep users engaged with their imaging progress.
Session Tracking Enhancements
Storage Folder “Copy-to-Clipboard”
Added a clipboard functionality to the StorageCombobox component, allowing users to quickly copy local directory paths for their imaging files.
FITS Metadata Autofill: Introduced an automated parsing system (FitsAutofill) that allows users to drop FITS files directly into the form to extract technical data (e.g., altitude, filter type, and exposure) without manual input.
Imaging Midpoint Calculator: Added a new tool to calculate the grand integrated mean midpoint for multiple sessions, supporting precise image processing workflows (PixInsight/Siril compatibility).
Data Portability & Reporting: Styled PDF Reports: Users can now generate professionally formatted session summaries in PDF for digital or printed logs.
Excel/Sheets Support: Added an export option for session logs to spreadsheet formats for advanced data manipulation or printing.
User Interface & Experience
Onboarding Tutorial: A dedicated tutorial sheet (Dashboard Guide) was added to help new users learn the workflow for logging sessions, importing metadata, and setting imaging goals.
Calendar View: Implemented an interactive calendar visualization, allowing users to browse their observation history by date.
Quality & Data Controls: Introduced a 5-star quality rating system for sessions and enhanced the existing storage history tracking for better organization of local data backups.
