The Goswami Gazette · Fan Project by NaviByte

Release Notes

EDITION 1.0 · PUBLISHED 11 MAY 2026

Everything that shipped in the first edition of The Goswami Gazette — the fan-built showcase for Sarthak Goswami built by NaviByte. Items are grouped by what they mean for you as a reader, not by how they were built.

SEC. 1 · THE GAZETTE
What's on the site
  • Front-page hero with a lead story, featured video, and a curated sidebar of filed dispatches — just like a real broadsheet.
  • Breaking-news ticker running across the top of every page with live headlines.
  • Live stats bar — subscriber count, total views, film count, and weekly upload cadence — refreshed automatically every six hours from YouTube.
  • Investigations grid: one hero card, two stacked features, and three compact story cards — displaying Sarthak's long-form field reports.
  • The Sunday Show section with episode list, live-episode badge, and click-to-play for the latest seven episodes.
  • Weekly schedule grid — Monday Dispatch, mid-week explainer, Friday field tape, and the Sunday live show — with times and notes.
  • On the Road travel log listing every location Sarthak has filed from — Nandigram, Imphal, Patna, and more.
  • Op-Ed manifesto — a full seven-paragraph two-column essay with a red drop cap, in Sarthak's own voice.
  • Eight Beats grid: every coverage area (Politics, Investigations, Economy, Society, Foreign, Tech, Satire, Explainers) with film counts scaled to the real 1,591-film catalogue.
  • Awards & milestones timeline: 918M views, 1.62M subscribers, the Bengal result special, the Philox nomination, and the channel's 2016 origin.
  • Press quotes from The Philox, India Today Digital, Caravan, and The Wire — plus a classifieds panel and contact hand-off to the official site.
  • Full-page ink footer with brand, sections, social links (@SundaySarthak / @sundaysarthak / sarthakgoswamii), and colophon.
  • Scroll-progress hairline in gz-red so you always know how far you have read.
  • Full-screen search overlay with suggested topics and trending dispatches.
  • Video lightbox — click any thumbnail to watch the real YouTube embed without leaving the page.
SEC. 2 · SUBSCRIBE & NEWSLETTER
Monday Dispatch
  • Subscribe modal with a Gazette-branded email form — enter your address and you are on the list.
  • Automatic welcome email sent on sign-up, styled like the Gazette itself, with a plain-text fallback.
  • Floating subscribe button that follows you down the page so you never have to scroll back up to join.
  • Subscribe modal auto-opens eight seconds after the page loads for first-time visitors.
SEC. 3 · SIGN IN & ACCOUNT
Reader membership
  • Sign-in page with email/password — two-column editorial layout with a pull quote and this week's top stories on the right.
  • Sign-up page with name, email, password, and a benefits panel driven by live channel numbers.
  • Continue with Google on both sign-in and sign-up — one click, no passwords.
  • Forgot password flow: enter your email, receive a reset link, set a new password.
  • Protected account page with a session sidebar and sign-out button. Visiting /account while signed out redirects you to sign-in.
  • Masthead shows SIGN IN / SIGN UP when you are out, and ACCOUNT / SIGN OUT when you are in.
SEC. 4 · MOBILE & DESIGN
Reading on every screen
  • Mobile navigation rebuilt as a slide-in drawer — tap the hamburger, get the full section list, no tiny scrollable bar.
  • Mobile masthead simplified to brand-left and icon-right so the full nav chrome stays desktop-only.
  • All grids collapse to a single column on mobile and expand on larger screens — no horizontal scroll anywhere.
  • Newspaper fonts throughout: Playfair Display for headlines, JetBrains Mono for bylines and labels, Tiro Devanagari for Hindi text.
  • Favicon, Apple touch icon, and Open Graph / Twitter card images matching the Gazette brand.
SEC. 5 · FIXES & POLISH
What got tightened up
  • All contact links now hand off to the official sarthakgoswami.com instead of showing invented email addresses.
  • Social handles in the footer point to real accounts — no placeholder links.
  • Video descriptions sourced from YouTube are cleaned up — no hashtags, emoji, or boilerplate before the first real sentence.
  • Footer separates cleanly from the page content across home and auth pages.
  • No horizontal scroll on any viewport size.
  • Sign-out clears your session immediately — no stale login state after you leave.
  • Google sign-in cookie survives the return from Google's page so you land logged in, not stuck at sign-in again.
  • Investigation cards with no description no longer leave an awkward gap below the thumbnail.
