Version Update Details
New Features
- Mobile Lightbox Navigation: Added visible prev/next arrows below dot indicators for explicit navigation.
- Submission Previews: Screenshot thumbnails integrated into the submission form for verification.
- Form Persistence: Auto-saving submission drafts to prevent data loss during app switching or accidental modal closure.
Performance Improvements
- Scroll Optimization: Replaced smooth scroll with instant scroll-to-top and implemented a debounced scroll listener using
requestAnimationFrame. - Loading Speed: App data fetching now initiates immediately on launch; Settings modal chunks are preloaded 2 seconds after startup to eliminate latency.
Bug Fixes
- UI/UX: Fixed variant/architecture picker duplication, resolved category tab casing inconsistencies (e.g., "utility" vs "Utility"), and adjusted scroll button positioning to avoid 3-button navigation bar overlap.
- Stability: Implemented a timeout fallback for lightbox CSS transitions to fix swipe reliability on specific devices; added scrolling support for the variant picker overflow.
