📱✨ New Cordn update: links that introduce themselves, profiles that just start, and a timeline that keeps its place ✨📱
Cordn 0.5.4 is out! A release of introductions and quiet repairs: invite links turn into cards instead of walls of letters, profiles start chats on the first try, and the timeline stops stepping on itself.
🔗 Invite links become cards: paste a Cordn link — a group, a coordinator, or a profile — into a chat and it shows up as a card: the name and icon, whether you're already in it, and one button to join or open. The long link itself leaves the message; Copy link and Show link keep the raw form at hand.
👋 Start from a profile, first try: the list of reachable people is there the moment you log in, starting a conversation takes far fewer round trips, and Retry actually probes instead of dead-ending.
▶ A timeline that keeps its place: videos no longer restart when new messages arrive, only what you actually see marks a group as read (the unread marker stays where you left it), and a reply in progress can no longer vanish and send as a plain message.
⏳ Messages that don't wedge: a message stuck behind the clock after a coordinator hiccup now recovers on its own as soon as the coordinator answers — and the clock finally says why it's waiting. Don't want it anymore? Deleting a waiting message simply works.
🩹 And the paper cuts: card icons show just as they were set, with the Cordn logo standing in when there's none, no filler lines on cards, and the group menu's delete option is simply "Delete group" now.
Already available in Zapstore and obtainium.
