### Corkboards.me 0.0.9 Beta
**Security vulnerabilities probably still exist**
**Announcements:**
- Custom corkboards are a new kind needing proposal, if widely useful. Like lists, and more like custom feeds: can include rss and hashtags.
- Dismissed/Muted notes list is a new kind needing proposal, if widely useful.
- Some of the below bugs may not have fixed. I have tested most if not all, but clod seems to have a tendency to regress.
**New Features:**
- Scroll to top button
- Moved to standard use for a few nips and kinds that clanker had gotten creative with
- Supporting kind 16 reposts of long form articles and videos
- Supporting kind 34236 vertical video
- Supporting kind 9735 (zaps) as a lightning bolt reaction
- Supporting kind 9802 highlights
- Supporting zap.cooking recipes
- New filter toggle: Images
- Notes fall under multiple filterable categories as appropriate, such as reactions to videos
- Ability to 'delete account' i.e. vanish request, ability to request deletion of note from relays
- Custom emoji rendering, custom set building
- Custom emoji set: 'Corkboards Default Emoji Set' - 'cb-xyz'
- When 'auto' mode is on, option to either consolidate automatically on newnote render or not, and to scroll to the top on newnote render or not
- Show warning if attempt to restore has fewer anything than existing
- Specific reaction emoji shows on main page
- Can use hashtags or lists to create a custom corkboard
- Relevant user settings are saved to backup on a per-platform/device basis (you can choose a different number of columns on desktop than you do on your phone)
- Backup to blossom in one file rather than nostr chunks
- Checkpoints allow restoring from among several manually chosen settings snapshots from blossom servers, but autosave naturally
- Optionally download settings to file instead, or also
- Consolidate sound options
- Discover tab avatars feature a follow button
- Totally redesigned profile and note cards
**Bugfixes:**
- 'Auto' and 'Media' toggle setting saved to backup, per device/screen size/platform
- Reduced timeout when checking for backup
- Removed/revised some misleading error message conditions
- When note isn't loaded, it displays the note kind and relays where it is thought to reside and other potentially useful debug information
- UI explains what it's doing verbosely during 'loading notes to discover'
- Random hints about how to use the app on login page
- Revised login helper text and 'Security Info,' still needs work and suggestions
- Hides 'deleted' notes in respect of user request / allows 'delete note'
- Hardcoded rss-proxy security upgrades
- Increased note cache size
- Fetching more wasn't working on corkboards that only contained rss feeds or hashtags
- 'Auto' mode doesn't allow misclicks by user when suddenly rearranging notes, has a timed ignore window to avoid rugging user
- Opening external link by clicking on it in card was returning to an opening thread modal
- When fetching, if all the fetched notes are dismissed, UI will show a note and fetch the first ones that are not yet dismissed
- Onboarding flow was switching from explanatory text to vague one before there was time to read it, instead of just showing the verbose explanatory text throughout
- Was showing disconcerting 'user_xyz123' text instead of a loading indicator until profile information, including avatars, was fetched
- Discover flow 1) ask first relay for 1 kind 1 non-reply note from 5 of first hardcoded npub's follows 2) ask next relay for same, for second hardcoded npub 3) ask next relay for same, for third ... etc, round robin. add'l rules: get profile info at the same time | keep adding notes at the bottom of the feed as they are found | don't add the same note twice | don't add the same npub/author twice. Future: WOT + randomizer seed
- Discover mode: hover on any card to see 5 more notes from that author
- Logout was still not clearing all caches :| Priorities, clod. Data was surviving logout, could be leaked from one user to the next on the same device
- More attempts to get to the right reply in the thread modal when clicked, and to show full thread, still buggy
- 'Include my notes' setting was sometimes not applying
- Cleaned up settings modal and put the backup functions under a new icon to the right of the settings gear
- Settings download to file has everything and is identical to blossom file backup
- Purple 'scroll to top' arrow didn't mesh, moved to center, green
- Autofetch was not working when toggled on after notes already loaded
- Spoilering occurs at same height, but not unless > spoiler_threshold * 1.5, so that we're never spoilering for just a few characters
**Lastly:**
- I had clod optimize for human readability, code accessible to contributors and forkers, verbose documentation, and useful console messaging/logging
- After adding verbose console logging, ran through and clicked everything, then fed log to clod for a look at any errors or possibilities
- Asked clod, What would you do differently?
- Asked clod to audit for vulnerabilities, elegance, best practices, tech debt, optimizations, privacy, cypherpunk sensibilities
I have added features after doing the above 4 steps last, so I will repeat again before next release.
**Requesting:**
- Beta testers looking for bugs, making suggestions and feature requests.
- Security vulnerabilities, or console log insights, but not requesting in depth technical audits yet. I am first going to go through all the variable names, have them explained to me, and then have them changed to something that makes sense and doesn't have confusing overlap. Then open source it (next release). Then, such a request might be reasonable.
- If there's anything foolish please explain so we can all learn from it. I'm sure there's some of that :D
