Highlights
One-command install
Instbyte is now on npm. Run it instantly with npx instbyte — no clone, no setup, no Node path issues. Data lives in instbyte-data/ wherever you run the command.
Passphrase protection
Lock your instance with a shared passphrase via instbyte.config.json. Rate-limited login, 7-day session cookie, zero friction for trusted users.
White-label branding
Set a name, a color, and a logo — the entire UI updates automatically. Header, login page, favicon, buttons, active states. No code changes required.
Config system
All behaviour now configurable via instbyte.config.json — port, auth, file size limits, retention period, and branding. Zero-config defaults remain unchanged.
UI & UX
- Full mobile responsiveness — header reflow, full-width search, composer wraps cleanly
- Channel bar horizontal scroll with fade edge and partial cutoff hint on mobile
+channel button always visible and inline on all screen sizes- Empty state message when a channel has no content
- Item hover feedback and input focus ring
- Action buttons (preview, pin, move, delete) consistent styling across the board
- Pinned item delete now requires confirmation
- Inline image preview — eye button hidden when thumbnail already shown
- Copy-on-click uses data attributes — special characters in content no longer break it
Fixes
- LAN IP detection now skips virtual adapters (WSL, Docker, VirtualBox) — shows correct WiFi IP
- Channel pin/unpin reorders instantly without page refresh
- Paste-anywhere copy works correctly for all content types
