bitsocialhq/pkc-react-hooks is a fork of plebbit-react-hooks that we're maintaining temporarily as an attempt to modernize the original repository using AI tools, possibly merging changes back into plebbit-react-hooks, which should also be rebranded to pkc-react-hooks eventually, under the org pkcprotocol.
Eliminate direct @plebbit/plebbit-js (8.7MB) imports from all UI components by replacing
Plebbit.getShortAddress() with a local get-short-address utility. Add Vite manual chunks for
plebbit-js, plebbit-react-hooks, and react-spring/use-gesture. Fix catalog CLS by matching
skeleton to wrapper dimensions. Lazy-load ChallengeModal and ReplyModal. Add failed-URL cache
to useFetchGifFirstFrame, optimize useHide selector, and memoize useFeed options in mod-queue.
Split useReplies in post-desktop.tsx and post-mobile.tsx into preview/full modes so board cards avoid full REPLIES_PER_PAGE fetches by default. Added replies-preview-utils.ts and switched mobile backlinks to use precomputed directRepliesByParentCid map instead of per-reply useReplies.
Removes avatar-settings component, avatar-visibility store, and all
avatar rendering from posts. Strips avatar from account JSON, renames
NFT gateway label to media IPFS gateway, removes Polygon RPC and
hide-avatars toggle. Deletes 6 avatar-related translation keys.
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.
Set repliesPerPage to 500 to avoid Virtuoso pagination sort drift. Add useProgressiveRender with startTransition batching and CSS content-visibility for long reply lists.
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.
Replaced per-reply useReplies subscriptions in backlink rendering with a precomputed directRepliesByParentCid map from thread-level filteredReplies. Also optimized quote link rendering in comment-content with scoped store subscription, reduced edit menu state churn, and improved DOM lookups with memoization to keep all backlink rendering data-local and eliminate repeated backend-state-driven reference churn during board scroll.
Replaced duplicated quotedByMap construction with useQuotedByMap() hook that subscribes only to post numbers referenced in each thread. Updated registerComments() to skip no-op writes, eliminating unnecessary numberToCid identity changes during feed scrolling.
Update button calls useReplies().reset() for manual refresh. Auto button
shows translated informational alert. Register reply feed reset in Post
desktop/mobile when on post page.
Replaced `import _ from 'lodash'` with specific named imports (`capitalize`, `lowerCase`, `debounce`, `startCase`) across 18 files. This reduces bundle size and improves tree-shaking efficiency.
Backlink map generation now merges protocol-level quotedCids with parsed >>number references from reply content. Manual quotes are resolved through numberToCid from usePostNumberStore and deduplicated using Set. Centralized QUOTE_NUMBER_REGEX in url-utils to keep markdown conversion and backlink detection aligned.
Added bidirectional `usePostNumberStore` for post number ↔ CID mapping, populated from thread views. Preprocesses `>>{number}` into markdown links, renders them via `NumberQuoteLink` and `ReplyQuotePreview`, and deduplicates against `quotedCids` when both refer to the same post.
Add 'Copy user ID' button to both desktop and mobile post menus, allowing users to copy the full author address. This provides a way to verify authenticity against the 8-char display ID. Also rename 'Copy link' to 'Copy direct link' for clarity. Update security comments to reflect the new approach and add translations for all 35 languages.
Hide user ID display in posts and replies when subplebbit.features.pseudonymityMode is 'per-reply'. Uses useSubplebbitField to avoid unnecessary rerenders.
- Update excerpt format to show both title and content (title: content)
- Add Type and Image columns to compact view (desktop and mobile)
- Show parent post above replies in feed view
- Add approve/reject buttons to post page for pending posts when user is mod
- Translate pending approval string across all languages
- Reorder columns: No., Excerpt, Submitted, Type, Image, Actions
- Right-align Type and Image columns in desktop view
Use Zustand selectors with custom equality functions to only subscribe to specific fields needed by components, avoiding unnecessary rerenders when transient state like updatingState changes. Extract offline indicators into separate components to isolate rerenders. Memoize card components in catalog and popular threads views.
