Changed zoom behavior from "page-relative" to "viewport-relative":
Before:
- Zoomed from top of page causing perspective/depth effect
- Content appeared to move "through" the viewer
- Disorienting experience when scrolled down
After:
- Zooms from center of YOUR viewport (where you're looking)
- Content expands both above and below your position
- You stay at your original viewing point - no movement
- Like pinch-to-zoom: magnifies what you're currently viewing
Technical implementation:
1. Calculate viewport center relative to page (scrollTop + viewportHeight/2)
2. Convert to percentage of page height
3. Set transform-origin dynamically to that percentage
4. Apply scale transform from your viewing position
5. Adjust scroll to keep same content at viewport center
CSS changes:
- Default transform-origin: center center (was top center)
- Added transition for transform-origin: 0s (instant, no animation)
- Maintains smooth 0.08s linear transform transition
Result: Natural, stable zoom that feels like magnifying glass
When zooming, the page was scaling from a fixed point causing content
to appear to "move through" the viewport like a 3D perspective effect.
This made the zoom feel disorienting as the visible content would shift.
Solution: Proportional scroll compensation
- Track current scale before applying new scale
- Calculate scale ratio (newScale / currentScale)
- Adjust scroll position by multiplying by scale ratio
- Example: scrollTop 1000px at 100% → 1500px at 150%
Benefits:
- Content you're viewing stays in the same visual position
- Zoom feels more like "magnification" than "perspective"
- Smooth, stable zoom experience without content shifting
- Eliminates the "going through me and getting farther" effect
Technical changes:
- Extract current scale from transform property via regex
- Calculate proportional scroll adjustment
- Apply synchronized transform + scroll in requestAnimationFrame
- Enhanced CI/CD pipeline with coverage reporting, benchmarks, and artifact uploads
- Implemented rate limiter IP validation with proxy support and spoofing protection
- Added extensive Makefile test targets for coverage, benchmarks, and continuous testing
- Expanded middleware chain with request validation, size limits, and suspicious activity logging
