There's quite a bit to this one

  • @ek reworked the frontend payments UX to be optimistic (e.g. zaps appear roughly non-custodial)
    • we are going to take this a lot further, but it's a big upgrade already
  • @ek made top always show the global, unpersonalized ranking whether you are logged in or logged out
  • @WeAreAllSatoshi implemented blind poll votes, meaning we no longer link your poll choice to your nym (this was also applied retroactively)
  • @ek added notifications when someone mentions one of your posts/comments
  • @t0m implemented embeds for Rumble videos (huge assist from @BenAllenG on this)
  • kravhen (on github) added a popover for stacking since on stacker profiles
  • @ek gave items created with an API key a bot badge
  • @t0m made it so the related posts collapses when you leave the first comment
  • @t0m made it so all internally linked items show a popover (before []() links would not have a popover)

Is the optimistic zapping behavior what causes what seems to be a slight delay? I’m guessing it is, but wanted to check

We had to remove the optimistic zapping behavior for non-custodial zaps because it caused replies to not show up.

Zapping from your custodial wallet should not have any delay, they still use the same optimistic behavior as before.

Are you talking about custodial or non-custodial zaps?

reply

It's the lightning bolt. It's more delayed than usual.

I see, this should fix it

reply

At least for me, not only is the lightning strike delayed, but the coloring of the zap button is, too.

reply

Mine are custodial

reply

I’m not sure. Removing one of the hacks might be causing a delay now. @ek would know better

reply

Fair enough!

reply

There are several bugs introduced by the frontend payments UX (e.g. if you zap something, things like comments won't show up after you submit them unless you reload the page).

We are working on reverting them and will hopefully have that out soon.

@ek every time I leave a comment I get a notification indicator but there are no new notifications when I go to view it.

Test

Mhh, didn't happen for me

Also occasionally my comments just don't show up until I reload the page.

bot badge is not retroactive, right?

Edit: Also, when I made this comment, the related section did not disappear, and my comment did not appear, until I refreshed the page. Sounds related to this release?

reply

It would appear not :)

reply

I wonder bot posts will see fewer zaps with this change.

reply

It sounds related to the related changes. I'll see if I can reproduce.

Edit: I'm also seeing stale items. Sometimes your edit shows, other times it doesn't. Hrm.

Great work as always!

What does it mean for someone to mention one of our posts or comments? Is that specifically the #________ format or does it work for any link to our stuff?

reply

Nice. I particularly like TOP always show global unpersonalized.

reply

Thanks for the updates!
I've always voted for an improved Top impersonal rankings, in fact this has been a problem for so many og us.. great job @ek!

reply

Top Always unPersonalized... There you go...

reply

Awesome improvement regarding top ranking.

reply
@ek made top always show the global, unpersonalized ranking whether you are logged in or logged out

This way is much better, imo!

reply

Nicely done! 👍
