Currently, homepages are still build as part of the app, so this change doesn't bring much benefit other than to support the wrapper app.
When the service is moved away from the app, we won't have to rebuild the app when homepages change, and also the ui.js bundle would be smaller without the need to code-split.
## Issues
Ad-filtering:
- Filtering was done whether or not ads are injected.
- Constants are repeatedly calculated.
- No short-circuiting in the for-loop.
- No memoization (being called 5-6 times on average due to redux updates, can't avoid that).
Others:
- Potentially passing null claimID to recsys (I think this is the issue that Johnny reported in Slack).
## Changes
- Moved 1-time calculations outside of the function.
- Optimized the filtering function and memoize it.
- Reduce unnecessary props since we are passing the whole `Claim` object already.
- Fix recsys being called when claim is not resolved yet (null claimId).
- Move away from the incorrect `makeSelect*` selectors.

Clients can still choose to roll their own way of showing "is fetching", like how ClaimListDiscover displays a whole bunch of placeholder tiles. This just serves as a default.
List-layout is not scrollable, and doesn't look good either. Force to tile-only until we can fix it. If we decide to always use tile-only, then remove the parameter for ScheduledStreams.
- `filteredSubscriptions` was running the filter code whether or not it actually required filtering, because the `!subscriptionFilter` logic is placed in the predicate. While it is a clean one-liner, it is slow when the subs list is huge.
- While at it, moved the code into `getSubscriptionSection` to isolate things.
- The sidebar was resolving the entire subs list, which is super slow for a list of 500+. Since we now have a "Manage Subscriptions" page, just batch-resolve the N visible subs.
- TODO: the code should probably be moved from 'app' to 'sideNavigate'.
The idea of using claim_search to indirectly batch-resolve didn't work out well. There's something wrong with the claim_search pagination where some results are duplicated in multiple pages, while some are missing. It's also returning less results that than the given number of claim ids, so sometimes the infinite scroll breaks.
The `useDualLayout` junk is super confusing to maintain and no longer extensible.
At the expense of making the "livestream + regular" list no longer seamlessly continuous when expanded (or when there just a handful of livestreams), use the new `subSection` feature to inject the livestream tiles. This is far easier to manage and tweak.
## Issues
1. We were manually adding `selectLanguage(state)` as a prop to components used in Settings Page to trigger a render. Flaws:
- Unclear that the unused prop is just to trigger a render.
- Manually adding on a case-by-case basis will break over time, especially when language can now be changed outside of the Settings Page.
2. The translation file fetching is delayed and also takes time, so the GUI will end up having mixed strings on F5, depending on when the fetch completed.
## Approach
Make the app wrapper have a key that's tied to the language and translation data, so the entire app renders when language changes. Seems like a common design in most apps.
## Ticket
921 language refresh / selection issues
## Ticket
968 Truncate views/subs in other areas
## Changes
- Corrected logic for `minThresholdToApply`, which was ignoring the case of "no threshold", causing it to not be truncated in Channel Page. We want to always truncate there due to the smaller cards.
- Missed out handling `ClaimPreviewSubtitle`.
The function argument order can be a bit ugly, but putting it at the back as optional param makes it easier to test without affecting existing clients.
## Ticket
948 wildwest: always show boosting message, move next to category name
## Changes
1. Make "Show less livestreams" share the same space as "Boosted by LBC", instead of only showing either 1.
- It's a bit troublesome to move it next to the filter without tweaking the generic `ClaimListDiscover`, so I think this would be a good compromise.
2. Fix "show less livestreams" being super tiny in mobile.
- I think it is caused by some component-specific changes are being applied at the global level (not sure).
