Advanced Filter, Export & Preview Fixes
v1.22The Advanced template filter now lists every advanced engine, MP4 export can't hang, overlay previews reflect live opacity, and category cards show more distinct previews.
- FixedThe Advanced (ADV) template filter and category now list all advanced engines instead of showing 0.
- FixedTemplate filters (including dimension) now persist in the URL so refreshing or sharing keeps your view.

- ImprovedBrowse-by-type and category cards show more distinct, tailored previews across more engine families.
Previews, Navigation & Editor Fixes
v1.21Single-variant previews that cycle through each engine's modes, reliable single-click navigation, and continued editor/effect fixes.
- ImprovedTemplate previews now showcase each engine's modes — hovering a card cycles through its visualization modes instead of switching dimensions.
- FixedOpening a template now works on the first click (no more double-click or refresh needed).
- ImprovedEach 2D / 3D / 4D / Advanced variant is shown as its own card so you can browse every dimension of every engine.

Reliability & Sharing Overhaul
v1.20A foundational pass on data durability, video export, render performance, and how visualizers are shared across the web.
- FixedSaved albums, templates, and projects now persist durably — fixed a configuration fallback that could drop user content on redeploys.

- ImprovedSmoother editor and export performance by eliminating costly per-frame canvas read-backs on advanced engines.
- ImprovedAudio now starts reliably after your first interaction on the page via a unified gesture-unlock system.
- ImprovedLink previews (Open Graph / Twitter cards) now resolve to the correct domain, so shared visualizers and templates preview correctly everywhere.
