## Ticket
189: Overall React Lag or Extra Re-renders / Volume slider laggy since v0.48
## The problem
Every redux update results in each mounted component's prop mapping function (the `select` and `perform` stuff) to be recalculated. This is normal per redux, but we do lots of heavy stuff there.
The slider was sending tons of redux update for the Volume and Muted setting.
## Changes
The redux volume/muted setting is just used to restore vjs to the user's setting on the next video, so it doesn't need to be updated immediately/constantly -- vjs keeps it's own video settings. Debounced that action.
* Route recommendation search to recsys 5% of the time + add `user_id`
## Ticket
334 send some recommended requests to recsys
## Approach
`doSearch`:
- If the search options include `related_to`, route that to the new `searchRecommendations` which performs the 5% check + appends `user_id` at the end. This way, we don't need to alter the function signature of `doSearch`.
- Else, run proceed as normal.
* Always go to alt provider

* Add remove_duplicates to tile/list claim_search except for Channel Page
This removes the any duplicates from reposts.
* Re-activate the "Hide reposts" setting
* Category Rows: default to ['stream', 'repost'] unless specified otherwise.
* apiCall: add option to not send the auth header
## Why
Want an option to make un-authenticated `resolve` calls where appropriate, to improve caching.
## How
All `apiCall`s are authenticated by default, but when clients add NO_AUTH to the params, `apiCall` will exclude the X_LBRY_AUTH_TOKEN. It will also strip NO_AUTH from the param object before sending it out.
* Add hook for 'resolve' and 'claim_search' to check and skip auth...
... if the params does not contain anything that requires the wallet.
* doResolveUri, doClaimSearch: let clients decide when to include_my_output
- No more hardcoding 'include_purchase_receipt' and 'include_is_my_output'
- doResolveUri: include these params when opening a file page. This was the only place that was doing that prior to this PR.
* is_my_output: use the signing_channel as alternative
## Notes
`is_my_output` is more expensive to resolve, so it is not being requested all the time.
## Change
Looking at the signing channel as the additional fallback, on top of `myClaimIds`.
## Aside
I think using `myClaimIds` here is redundant, as it is usually populated from `is_my_ouput`. But leaving as is for now...
* add gdpr support
* only run on production
* testing implementation
* just needs last touches then ready
* ready for merge
* add cookies to sidebar
* hide button when secureprivacy not available
* switch over to loading script as a react hook
* conditionally add secureprivacy script
* save gdpr status on session
* better design
## Why
- No memo required (no transformation).
- `makeSelect*` is an incorrect pattern.
## Changes
- Replaced makeSelectClientSetting with selectClientSetting.
- Remove unused selectShowRepostedContent.
* SyncFatalError: show nag instead of hard-crashing.
## Issue
When sync fails, we crash the app.
## Ticket
Maybe closes 39 "Better handle both internal and web backend interruptions / downtime"
## Approach
I'm tackling this from the standpoint that (1) sync errors are not that fatal -- we'll just lost a few recent changes (2) network disconnection is the common cause.
## Changes
- If we are offline:
- Inform user through a nag. All other status is meaningless if we are offline.
- If we are online:
- If api is STATUS_DOWN, show the existing crash page.
- If there is a sync error, show a nag saying settings are now potentially unsynchronized, and add a button to retry sync.
- If there is a chunk error, nag to reload.
* Attempt to detect `status=DOWN`
Previous code resolves the status to either "ok" or "not", which makes the app unable to differentiate between the "degraded" (nag) and "down" (crash) states.
## Issue
- It was checking the blacklist on every render.
- Finding opportunities to improve performance
## Changes
Since the final destination will be a dead end anyways, skip the blacklist check so that livestreams can render a bit faster when there lots of mentions.
The only downside is that a claim preview for a blacklisted item would now appear (vs. being a text previously)
## Issue
One of the bottlenecks of livestream page.
The component probably needs a re-design:
- Don't perpetually mount -- only mount when activated by the user through "@". This would avoid the heavy processing entirely.
- Better way of resolving uris (too many arrays, too many loops).
- Tom also mentioned that we should not be resolving every commenter as we see encounter them in a livestream. This is currently the case because the component is always mounted.
## Changes
Until the re-design occurs, attempt to cache the heavy processing. Also, trimmed down the amount of loops.
As long as the input parameters are the same, the selector will return the cached value so that we don't construct the list twice, which involves blocklist filtering.
`<div>` cannot be a descendend of `<p>`, and `{subtitle}`s sometimes need to have `<div>`s.
Just switch from `<p>` to `<div>`, and let the client decide when the actual text paragraphs are.
- Memo not required. `resolvingUris` is very dynamic and is a short array anyways.
- Changeg from using `indexOf` to `includes`, which is more concise.
## Issues
- 251 Dragging the floating player is super laggy
Recent changes and/or refactoring combined the effects or added dependancies into the effects, causing them to re-run excessively.
## Changes
- Restored effects to their original behavior.
- Don't perform the position check when dragging -- only do it when released.
- Do proper debouncing for the 'resize' listener -- the previous method was incorrect as a new function is created on each render.
## Changes
- doHandleSyncComplete: only call doGetAndPopulatePreferences when there is new data.
- But for that to work, we'll need to populate preferences at least once. We'll do that in doSignIn.
- We can also remove the "sync/prefs ready" mechanism that was mainly meant for Desktop.
Then came another problem: while trying to spark changes between 2 tabs, `sync/get` was saying "no change" despite the local and server hash being different. I think it is because the both `sync_hash + sync/get` combo is operating on server data, so the hash is the same. I'm guessing this is why we ended up just running doGetAndPopulatePreferences every time before PR, since this flag wasn't correct in this scenario.
- Updated `data.changed` to consider both API results and comparison with local hash.
* Exclude default homepage data at compile time
The youtuber IDs alone is pretty huge, and is unused in the `CUSTOM_HOMEPAGE=true` configuration.
* Remove Desktop items and other cleanup
- Moved constants out of the component.
- Remove SIMPLE_SITE check.
- Remove Desktop-only items
* Sidebar: limit subscription and tag section
## Issue
Too slow for huge lists
## Change
Limit to 10 initially, and load everything on "Show more"
* Fix makeSelectThumbnailForUri
- Fix memo
- Expose function to extract directly from claim if client already have it.

## Issues with `makeSelectIsSubscribed`
- It will not return true if the uri provided is canonical, because the compared subscription uri is in permanent form. This was causing certain elements like the Heart to not appear in claim tiles.
- It is super slow for large subscriptions not just because of the array size + being a hot selector, but also because it is looking up the claim twice (not memo'd) and also calling `parseURI` to determine if it's a channel, which is unnecessary if you already have the claim.
## Changes
- Optimize the selector to only look up the claim once, and make operations using already-obtained info.
## Issue
~300KB savings in `ui.js` size (production, uncompressed). Mostly coming from the emoji library.
## Notes
Most of the `Comment*` components are under `CommentsList` or `LivestreamComments`, so deferring these 2 covered most of it. The exceptions are Notification and OwnComments.
## Why
Frequently used; top in perf profile
## Changes
Most of the time, you already have the claim object in the current context. `selectClaimIsMineForUri` will retrieve the claim again, which is wasteful, even if it is memoized (looking up the cache still takes time).
Break apart the logic and added the alternative `selectClaimIsMine` for faster lookup.
* Publish button: use spinner instead of "Publishing..."
Looks better, plus the preview could take a while sometimes.
* Refactor `doPublish`. No functional change
This is to allow `doPublish` to accept a custom payload as an input (for resuming uploads), instead of always resolving it from the redux data.
* Add doPublishResume
* Support resume-able upload via tus
## Issue
38 Handle resumable file upload
## Notes
Since we can't serialize a File object, we'll need to the user to re-select the file to resume.
* Exclude "modified date" for Firefox/Android
## Issue
It appears that the modification date of the Android file changes when selected, so that file was deemed "different" when trying to resume upload.
## Change
Exclude modification date for now. Let's assume a smart user.
* Move 'currentUploads' to 'publish' reducer
`publish` is currently rehydrated, so we can ride on that and don't need to store the `currentUploads` in `localStorage` for persistence. This would allow us to store Markdown Post data too, as `localStorage` has a 5MB limit per app.
We could have also made `webReducer` rehydrate, but in this repo, there is no need to split it to another reducer. It also makes more sense to be part of publish anyway (at least to me).
This change is mostly moving items between files, with the exception of
1. An additional REHYDRATE in the publish reducer to clean up the tusUploader.
2. Not clearing `currentUploads` in CLEAR_PUBLISH.
* Restore v1 code for livestream replay, etc.
v2 (tus) does not handle `remote_url`, so the app still needs v1 for that. Since we'll still have v1 code, use v1 for previews as well.
- memo not required.
- start to not use the confusing and wrongly-named 'selectCommentsByUri' (per comment from Sean); use the existing 'selectClaimIdForUri' instead. This works because currently we do fetch any comments without first visiting a claim/uri, so we'll always have fetched the required claim, and can be queried in 'selectClaimIdForUri'.
## Issue
`normalizeUri` | `parseURI` is expensive and has been causing sluggish operations when called repeatedly or within a loop.
## Change
Since I'm not confident enough to remove the call entirely from makeSelectClaimIsMine (although I've yet to find a scenario that the uri is not already normalized), we'll try caching the calls instead.
## Results
- in a simple test of toggling between 2 category pages, we saved 20ms from `parseURI` calls alone.
- in a test of opening all categories one time, the memory usage remained similar. This makes sense since we removed a `makeSelect*` (which creates a selector for each call + not memoizing), and replaced that with a cached selector that's actually memoizing.
* Simplify dispatch map
Since none of dispatches are doing any custom transformation, just use a direct map. The number of arguments for the comment function are getting crazy.
* Block: pass comment ID for deletion when being blocked.
## Issue
238 Comments: author-name not highlighted when in Channel Community tab
## Changes
- Channel claims don't have a signing channel. Use `getChannelFromClaim`, which handles both content and channel claim.
## Ticket
223 Add ability for delegated moderators to delete comments
## Changes
- Refactored doCommentAbandon's signature so we don't end up converting between "uri" and "Claim" several times and needing to lookup redux when the client can already provide us the exact values that we need.
- Pass the new moderator fields to the API.
- Remove the need to call 'makeSelectChannelPermUrlForClaimUri' since it's a simple field query when we already have the claim.
I tried to use event.preventDefault on the click handler but that didn't
work. So instead I'm using css 'pointer-events: none' to disable click
events on the player while the player is being dragged.
https://github.com/OdyseeTeam/odysee-frontend/issues/206
- selectMyChannelClaims depends on `byId`, which currently is always invalidated per update, so it is not memoized.
- Most of the use-cases just needs the ID or the length of the array anyways, so avoid generating a Claim array (in selectMyChannelClaims) unnecessarily -- the client need to reduce it back down to IDs again :/
- The simpler boolean also removes the need to memoize the selector, which saves a bit of memory.

## Ticket

## Issue
Code was shortened to use `isURIValid` during the consolidation. `isURIValid` calls `normalizeURI`, which calls another `parseURI`.
`parseURI` is pretty expensive.
## Approach
- Add optional parameter to `isURIValid` to skip the normalization.
- Set those that were converted during the consolidation to skip the normalization. Also covered a few other instances where it is obvious to me that normalization is not required.
- For the rest, I can't tell for sure if it's safe to remove the normalization, so the default `normalize=true` will leave things as is.
The whole `parseURI` probably needs a refactoring, or a few lighter version for specific needs.
* Simplify isURIEqual
## Issue
`parseURI` is too expensive to be used in a loop, plus `normalizeURI` itself is calling `parseURI`.
## Approach
Not sure if it covers all cases, but just try convert colons to hashes before comparing.
## Issue
95% of `secondary.js` is unused code.
- It was meant to reduce network overhead by chunking up files needed after bootup, and also to reduce the number of `vendor-*.js` files.
- But it ended up accidentally grabbing everything, defeating the purpose of code-splitting.
Added a re-usable "yes/no" confirmation modal where the client just sets the question string and gets a callback "OK" or "Cancel" is clicked.
It doesn't make sense to create one modal for each confirmation, especially when the modal is only used in one place.
Replaced one of the existing modal as an example.

## Issue
- Go to a channel page
- Go to Wild West
- Back
- Expand the search filter (valid here)
- Forward
## Fix
Resolve the 'expanded' setting on mount to ensure it is never true when 'hideAdvancedFilter' is set.
4a22814c broke the intention of if-block (it essentially breaks the functionality in Search page if we enable view counts there in the future).
It also seems completely unrelated to the PR.

## Issue
We previously automatically reload when there is a chunk error. This works fine if it's the case of new code was pushed recently while the user was active. But if the failure was caused by other things like network problems or the file IS actually missing, we end up in an infinite loop of refreshes.
## New approach
Tell the user to reload instead of automatically doing it.

## Issue
- Each tile was checking against 4 blocklists (blacklisted, filtered, muted, commentron) on every render. Loading the front-page with Cheese alone caused 1400 calls.
- This is also part of the reason why pressing Back into the tile list takes forever.
## Fix
Since we still need to perform the checks at the app side for now, tried to memoize the operation through a selector.
## Issue
85 Add additional GA events
## Approach
Instead of placing analytic calls all over the GUI code (no separation of concerns), try to do it through a redux middleware instead.
## Changes
- Updated GA event and parameter naming after understanding how reporting works.
- Removed unused analytics.
Only picking components that are involved in a livestream for now. Ideally, all usages of `makeSelectClaimForUri` should be replaced -- will do it incrementally.
followedTags:
- Moved the filtering to the reducer side, so that we don't do it every time. We can't rely on `createSelector` because the store will be invalidated on each `USER_STATE_POPULATE`, unfortunately.
tags:
- Memoize via re-reselect for the "ForUri" selector.
## Issue
`makeSelectDataForUri` always returns a new reference, so `ClaimPreview` was constantly being rendered. It's pretty expensive since `ClaimPreview`'s rendering checks against a huge blocklist, which is another issue on it's own.
## Changes
- This commit tests the usage of `re-reselect` as the solution to the multi-instance memoization problem (https://github.com/toomuchdesign/re-reselect/blob/master/examples/1-join-selectors.md)
## Issue
When comments are refreshed, each `Comment` gets rendered 4-5 times due to reference invalidation for `othersReacts` (the data didn't actually change).
## Change
For selectors without transformation, there is no need to memoize using `createSelector` -- just access it directly. Also, don't do things like `return a[id] || {}` in a reducer, because the reference to the empty object will be different on each call.
Always return directly from the state so that the same reference is returned.
This simple change avoided the wasted resources needed for `createSelector`, and reduced to render to just 2 (initial render, and when reactions are fetched).
## Issue
Now that we batch-resolve the comment authors before displaying the comments, the linked-comment scrolling logic didn't work well with nested replies.
## Change
Previously, I didn't want to put the logic at the lowest level (`Comment`) because it was hard for the child to know whether to scroll or not. For example, we don't want to scroll when user changes the comment filters or presses the Refresh Comments button.
Relented and moved the logic to `Comment`, and pass a flag via `window` (I know this is frowned upon by some) to indicate whether a scrolling is needed.
This is probably more efficient overall as we don't need to scan the DOM, and with minimal delay as we scroll immediately after the linked-comment is mounted.
## Known issues
In markdown posts with lots of images, a layout shift due to delayed inline-image fetching can cause the scrolling to be inaccurate. This should be fixed by reserving space for markdown post images.

60 setting.Get calls spiked since October
It was called 24 times per livestream page load.

## Issue
- Infinite `resolve` loop when deleted channel is present in the comments.
- Since it was only displayed comments with resolved channels, it masked away those comments. While that may or may not be regarded as a defect, I think we should do it at Commentron instead of at the app if we want to filter deleted channels. I vote to show comments from deleted channels, since it might have good conversation thread.

## Issue
40 Linked comments doesn't scroll for deep replies
## Notes
Don't need an effect for this, plus it was causing the parent to not pick it up for auto-scrolling.
## Issues
- The current version of the link handler doesn't seem able to control the livestream player's position.
- The "live" position is always 0:00 and everything behind it is a negative timestamp. The current timestamp parser doesn't handle negative values.
