usage:
- create cookies.json file somewhere, preferrably outside cobalt directory
- in docker, you can bind mount it (`volumes` in composefile)
- if you don't want cobalt to update the cookies, set it to `:ro` (cobalt will print a warning about this, ignore it)
- set COOKIE_PATH to the absolute path of this file
- enjoy?
usage in services: probably the simplest api ever
- import { getCookie, updateCookie } from '../../cookie/manager.js';
- const cookie = getCookie('<service_name>');
- add this to headers - `headers: { cookie }`
- after fetch is done, save potential cookie updates: updateCookie(cookie, fetch.headers)
- see instagram.js for example usage

- cleaned up frontend js a little bit.

ids of some of new links overlap with old ones, so i decided to remove support for old shareable links. keeping support for soundcloud.app.goo.gl links makes no sense, you can't even get them from any of the apps anymore.

- set max size of close button in popups to prevent stretching
- image picker buttons are now distanced away from content
- if an image in image picker couldn't load, it now disappears instead of displaying ":("
- it's now possible to download full audios from tiktok videos, you just have to turn that on in settings.
- tiktok audios are better in quality when it's possible to get exact audio used in video and not the full version of it.
- cleaned up the way user preference stuff is passed over between modules, should be way more flexible now.
