The browse section is buggy

Not sure if anyone else experiences this but the app crashes or gets stuck loading when I browse by category

Feature requests/bugs

Feature reqs: -save draft when commenting/posting. For example: right now I want to come back to this draft so that I can play around in the app and report back more feature requests/bugs but I can’t. -ability to comment on a post without it being a recc -tap on titles to open a post, oftentimes i have to tap multiple times on the text body to open a post Bugs: -back arrow is laggy, I have to press it 3 or 4 times before it responds -generally the app is slow but it seems to be getting faster!

smoothness

Whenever I send a comment (iPhone) the write comment screen stays up but it’s blank. Other things too make the app feel a bit slow sometimes, like when you tap on the comments icon it doesn’t always open. Also if you write too much in a rec/comment you have to tap at the top and then swipe to see the send button, it’d be nicer if we could just swipe up to get there. Additionally, I would love the ability to save drafts for recs Also on the membership screen it talks about the Google Playstore on ios, and I don’t think the purchase button works.

Using the word “gauche” instead of “cringe”

How to do nothing by Jenny Odell

a treatise on the attention economy - checked it out on libby and got through it over the course of a work day, a lot of really interesting social and cultural explorations about how time itself is the final frontier of hypercapitalism and what decommodification of our attention and time should look like the book starts with a story about the oldest redwood tree in oakland and how the only reason it’s still standing is bc it’s unmillable, and how being uncommercializable is essential to our survival. it ends with an exploration of alt social media platforms (mostly p2p ones) and what keeping the good parts of the social internet and rejecting the bad ones should look like all in all a super valuable read; my only nitpick with the book is that odell isn’t just charting the attention economy but also attempting to “solve” it and relate it back to broader concepts about labor and social organizing, but her background is in the arts which leads to some really wonderful references to drive the points home while also missing some critical racial + socioeconomic analyses that one would expect (or at least really appreciate) from the book she promises to deliver in the introduction. but this does also make the book easier to read which is good because everyone should definitely engage with what she has to say will definitely be revisiting
