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.
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 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.
Parse reply content for >>{postNumber} references, resolve post numbers to CIDs via usePostNumberStore, and include resolved CIDs in publishCommentOptions when publishing. Extracted quote handling into reply-quote-utils.ts for testability and clarity.
Fix route parameter name in use-initial-theme hook (communityAddress -> boardIdentifier), correct release workflow artifact paths (dist -> out/make), add BUILD_ARCH env var for Linux arm64 builds, fix macOS app name dev check, and update capacitor webDir to match vite output.
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.
Removed all fake posts for subplebbit description and rules, including dedicated routes, components, and all related logic across the codebase. Board admins can now pin regular posts if they want to provide a description.
- delete the anon mode hook/store and stop wiring publish flows through alternate signers
- strip the settings UI, avatar warning, reply indicators, and FAQ text that referenced the toggle
- drop the anon mode translation keys via scripts/update-translations.js
