Improved Home Page Loading Time, Chat Fixes, and More

Hi everyone! This weeks update includes a variety of improvements and fixes to Babble; here's a summary of the key changes:

Improvements to Character Browsing

  1. Enhanced Home & Category Page Loading Time: I improved the home page loading time, making it faster and more responsive. This improves browsing experience as you explore new characters.

  2. Added Blur Hash for Character Images: This is an improvement mostly for users with slower internet. The blur hash technique provides a placeholder image while the actual image is loading, creating a more seamless visual experience.

Improvements for Chat Experience

  1. Fixed Message Sending Issue: I fixed the issue when sending messages in chat, ensuring that messages are sent promptly without any delays, as there was a slight delay there for certain users.

  2. Long Conversation Support: Babble now supports very long conversations, resolving most of the "Server Errors" some users were experiencing during extended chat sessions. Link

Fixes

  1. Icons Rendering Issues on Android - I fixed the issue where some icons were not rendering correctly on Android devices. Link

  2. Fixed Updating/Deleting Messages in the Example Chat Field - I fixed the issue where users were unable to update or delete messages in the example chat field when creating a character. Link

  3. Duplicate Responses when Reloading Messages - This issue has been resolved, and you should no longer see duplicate responses when reloading messages in the chat. Link
