* Don't update 'byId' if no changes + add 'selectClaimWithId'
## Ticket
116 Claim store optimization ideas (reducing unnecessary renders)
## Changes
- Ignore things like `confirmations` so that already-fetched claims aren't invalidated and causes re-rendering. The `stringify` might look expensive, but the amount of avoided re-renders outweighs it. There might be faster ways to compare, though.
- With `byId[claimId]` references more stable now, memoized selectors can now use 'selectClaimWithId' to pick a specific claim to depend on, instead of 'byId' which changes on every update.
* Fix memo: selectMyChannelClaims, selectActiveChannelClaim
## Issue
These should never recalculate after `channel_list` has been fetched, but they do because of poor selector dependency.
## Change
With the `byId` changes from the previous commit, we are now able to memoize these selectors correctly.
## 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.
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
Components render unnecessarily due to reference invalidation from `selectMutedChannels` selector.
## Notes
`selectMutedChannels` run and return a new reference each time the app gains focus. `createSelector` will not help in this case, because we are indeed invalidating the data in the store in `USER_STATE_POPULATE`.
## Changes
- Don't update the state if the array is identical in content.
- Fixed `selectMutedChannels` to return the reference from the store, so `createSelector` is not needed.
- Also, the filtering is not needed because we've already done it in the reducer.
## Comments
I've done some profiling on large blocklists. The time needed for the array comparison is still an order magnitude lower than the time needed to render all the Components that got incorrectly marked by this.
The ideal solution is for the sync code to return a hash or timestamp of the array, so that we can compare that instead of the array.
* Add option to pass in url-search params.
Impetus: allow linked comment ID and setting the discussion tab when clicking on the `ClaimPreview`.
* comment.list: fix typos and renamed variables
- Switch from 'author' to 'creator' to disambiguate between comment author and content author. For comment author, we'll use 'commenter' from now on.
- Corrected 'commenterClaimId' to 'creatorClaimId' (just a typo, no functional change).
* doCommentReset: change param from uri to claimId
This reduces one lookup as clients will always have the claimID ready, but might not have the full URI.
It was using URI previously just to match the other APIs.
* Add doCommentListOwn -- command to fetch own comments
Since the redux slice is set up based on content or channel ID (for Channel Discussion page), re-use the channel ID for the case of "own comments". We always clear each ID when fetching page-0, so no worries of conflict when actually browsing the Channel Discussion page.
* Comment: add option to hide the actions section
* Implement own-comments page
* Use new param to remove sort-pins-first.
comment.List currently always pushes pins to the top to support pagination. This new param removes this behavior.
I think this the best solution so far, at the expense of a slight delay in scrolling if the network call stalls.
- Added "fetching by ID" state so that we don't need to use the ugly N-retries method.
- `scrollIntoView` doesn't work if the element is already in the viewport, and the `scrollBy` adjustment doesn't take into account the y-position restoration that we perform on certain type of pages. Use `window.scrollTo` instead and taking into account current scroll position.
* ❌ Remove old method of displaying active livestreams
Completely remove it for now to make the commit deltas clearer.
We'll replace it with the new method at the end.
* Fetch and store active-livestream info in redux
* Tiles can now query active-livestream state from redux instead of getting from parent.
* ⏪ ClaimTilesDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Simplify
- Simplify to just `uris` instead of having multiple arrays (`uris`, `modifiedUris`, `prevUris`)
- The `prevUris` is for CLS prevention. With this removal, the CLS issue is back, but we'll handle it differently later.
- Temporarily disable the view-count fetching. Code is left there so that I don't forget.
## Fix
- `shouldPerformSearch` was never true when `prefixUris` is present. Corrected the logic.
- Aside: prefix and pin is so similar in function. Hm ....
* ClaimTilesDiscover: factor out options
## Change
Move the `option` code outside and passed in as a pre-calculated prop.
## Reason
To skip rendering while waiting for `claim_search`, we need to add `React.memo(areEqual)`. However, the flag that determines if we are fetching `claim_search` (fetchingClaimSearchByQuery[]) depends on the derived options as the key.
Instead of calculating `options` twice, we moved it to the props so both sides can use it.
It also makes the component a bit more readable.
The downside is that the prop-passing might not be clear.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: reduce ~17 renders at startup to just 2.
* ClaimTilesDiscover: fill with placeholder while waiting for claim_search
## Issue
Livestream claims are fetched seperately, so they might already exists. While claim_search is running, the list only consists of livestreams (collapsed).
## Fix
Fill up the space with placeholders to prevent layout shift.
* Add 'useFetchViewCount' to handle fetching from lists
This effect also stashes fetched uris, so that we won't re-fetch the same uris during the same instance (e.g. during infinite scroll).
* ⏪ ClaimListDiscover: revert and cleanup
## Revert
- Removed the 'finalUris' stuff that was meant to "pause" visual changes when fetching. I think it'll be cleaner to use React.memo to achieve that.
## Alterations
- Added `renderUri` to make it clear which array that this component will render.
- Re-do the way we fetch view counts now that 'finalUris' is gone. Not the best method, but at least correct for now.
* ClaimListDiscover: add prefixUris, similar to ClaimTilesDiscover
This will be initially used to append livestreams at the top.
* ✅ Re-enable active livestream tiles using the new method
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add interval check
- Added a default minimum of 5 minutes between fetches. Clients can bypass this through `forceFetch` if needed.
* doFetchActiveLivestreams: add option check
We'll need to support different 'orderBy', so adding an "options check" when determining if we just made the same fetch.
* WildWest: limit livestream tiles + add ability to show more
Most likely this behavior will change in the future, so we'll leave `ClaimListDiscover` untouched and handle the logic at the page level.
This solution uses 2 `ClaimListDiscover` -- if the reduced livestream list is visible, it handles the header; else the normal list handles the header.
* Use better tile-count on larger screens.
Used the same method as how the homepage does it.

Previously, we decide when to display "Show More" based on the current fetched reply count vs. total replies in Commentron. It was already troublesome as `comment.List` and `comment.replies` give different values (one includes blocked content, while another does not).
Now, we are further filtering the list with Commentron blocklists (personal, admin, moderator), so it is not feasible to run the logic based on reply count.
## Solution
- Keep track of number of remaining pages instead and use that to determine when to display "Show More".
- While it doesn't solve the "Show N replies" mismatch (YT has this problem too), it prevents the button from lingering.
- In the event that all replies are blocked, just show an empty space (same as YT). I didn't like the previous version that cluttered the space with "comment(s) blocked".
## Issue
If the linked-comment is also a pinned comment, it was displayed twice.
## Fix
When separating out pinned comments, I forgot that `comment.ByID` was another place where we fetch comments.
## Ticket
6879: Previously pinned livestream comments show as latest
## Issue
`comment.List` will always display the pinned comment first, hence the problem when the chat is refreshed.
## Approach
Completely split pinned comments from top-level comments in the Reducer, and the let the GUI (e.g. regular comments, livestream comments) decide how they want to display it.
For the case of livestream, there is no need to repeat the pinned comments in the regular chat area, since there is a dedicated area on top.
## General
- `setting.List`: returns full creator settings. Requires signature (i.e. you own the channel)
- `setting.Get`: returns a public subset of the creator settings. No signature required, and it is mainly used by the GUI to determine the constraints of a channel (e.g. comments enabled? min tip requirements? etc.). Does not include private settings like "blocked words list".
`doFetchCreatorSettings` will handle both of these. Clients that uses the stashed results (`settingsByChannelId`) just needs to be aware the result might not contain everything, depending on whether you own the channel or not.
## Misc Related Changes
- Finally fix the reducer for COMMENT_FETCH_SETTINGS_COMPLETED to not purge the data on each call.
- Change `doFetchCreatorSettings` to operate on a single channel instead of multiple. We ended up not using the multple mode anyway, so it was wasteful code trying to batch the promises.
- `commentsDisabledChannelIds` is no longer needed. Previously, this was created just to differentiate between Creator (full) and Channel (subset) settings. It's cleaner to just use one object, so eliminated this.
- Remove unused 'commentingEnabled'.
## Aside
- There are now 2 ways to know if a channel has disabled comments: (1) from `comment.list` and `setting.Get|List`. Both of them updates `settingsByChannelId`, so it'll still be a single place for the GUI to check against.
## Issue
> 5459 Add setting for changing your comment server. Visible on desktop (and possibly defaulting to Odysee URL), hidden on odysee.
## Comments
Not sure how this would actually work properly without the user recompiling the app to handle server differences. For example, even when we use our own server but switch between v1 and v2, some code changes are need to handle the differences. At that point, it seems easier for the user to just change the .env file? Anyway...
## Changes
- Added Desktop-only options to define custom server. [Settings > Advanced Settings > "Comment server" section].
## Issue
6366 Recsys Evaluation Telemetry
The recommended list from lighthouse is obtained from `makeSelectRecommendedContentForUri`. This list is further tweaked by the GUI (e.g. move autoplay next item to top, remove blocked content, etc.). Recsys wants the final recommendation list and the clicked index (in exact order), so we need pass these info to the videojs recsys plugin somehow. Also, Recsys wants a recommendation list ID as well as the parent (referrer) ID, we so need to track the clicks and navigation.
## General Approach
- It seems easiest to just spew back the final (displayed) list and all the required info to Redux, and the recsys plugin (or anyone else in the future) can grab it.
- Try to touch few files as possible. The dirty work should all reside in `<RecommendedContent>` only.
## Changes
- `ClaimPreview`: add optional parameters to store an ID of the container that it is in (for this case, it is `ClaimList`) as well as the index within the container.
- When clicked, we store the container ID in the navigation history `state` object.
- For general cases, anyone can check this state from `history.location.state` to know which container referred/navigated to the current page. For the recsys use case, we can use this as the `parentUUID`.
- `ClaimList`: just relay `onClick` and set IDs.
- `RecommendedContent`: now handles the uuid generation (for both parent and child) and stores the data in Redux.
## Issue
Creating Settings suddenly start to stop loading correctly for some of my channels.
## Change
`settings.List` now returns null instead of empty array. Double-checked the Commentron repo and this is indeed the case.
Updated the code to handle null.
If there are no API errors but no reactions returned, consider the requested IDs as "done" and stop requesting again. When a channel is being confirmed, Commentron doesn't return the reaction object.
Also added extra guard in case Commentron does return an object in the future, but an empty one.
In the event that Commentron returned an empty object, we'll end up re-requesting the same IDs again. Haven't seens this happen before, but since we don't know what's causing the spike, we'll just consider failures and "fetched" to stop the loop.
User can always click Refresh to repopulate the values.
## Issue
Closes 6159 "Support Comments Enabled/Disabled for comment.List API"
## New behavior
- `disable-comments` tag will block the comments component entirely.
- `settings.commentsEnabled`:
- When false, will pause comment fetching, posting and replying.
- Any already-fetched comments will stay on screen (unless user reloads/F5).
