Obsolete with pseudonymity mode (user IDs randomized per board) and custom boards
requiring explicit search/subscribe. Unsubscribe suffices for boards.
Add Random/Preferred/None modes, preferred provider selection, and provider-order fallback. Catbox/Imgur/PostImages on Android via WebView; Electron CDP automation for Imgur/PostImages. Hide upload controls on web runtime.
Replace sync setState-in-effect with keyed remount and render-derived patterns in app, error-display, topbar-edit-modal, catalog-filters; use useCurrentTime() instead of Date.now() in hot paths; fix conditional hooks, passive scroll listeners, lodash path imports.
Added `useFileUpload()` and `uploadToCatbox()` to centralize upload behavior and remove duplicated upload code from `post-form.tsx` and `reply-modal.tsx`. The flow now routes Android to `FileUploader`, Electron to hidden-input + catbox upload, and web to a translated fallback alert with consistent upload UI state.
Add public/icon.icns generated from icon.png. Update forge.config.js DMG maker and electron/main.js dev dock to use icon.icns. Fixes missing 5chan icon (default Electron icon shown).
Set repliesPerPage to 500 to avoid Virtuoso pagination sort drift. Add useProgressiveRender with startTransition batching and CSS content-visibility for long reply lists.
Multi-adapter boundary in normalizeDirectoriesData() supports both
communities[] and directories[] upstream schemas. Sync script mirrors
logic and writes canonical format. Preserves directoryCode and features
for future use.
The postsPerSub quota is now calculated from boards with actually loaded hot comments, not total filtered directories. This prevents the list from collapsing to a single post when many boards are empty or unavailable.
Replaced one-off /biz/ and /pol/ checks with a single board-name-to-address resolver built from useDirectories() data. The homepage boards list now consistently colors and links any available directory board without manual hardcoding.
Adds sync-directories.js script that fetches 5chan-directories.json from bitsocialhq/lists and updates the vendored fallback. Runs before generate:assets in prestart and prebuild to ensure the fallback is fresh for every build. Non-fatal: if fetch fails, existing file is kept.
Aligned 5chan’s flat thread reply behavior with plebones by using `useReplies` in flat-old mode with appending account comments and rendering from `updatedReplies` when available. Reply rows now subscribe to `useAccountComment` by `index`, so pending replies transition to confirmed automatically after challenge verification without requiring manual update or refresh.
