This week was spent mostly on performance improvements and various bug fixes. We've launched several major new features in the past couple of months and have had a few bugs crop up as a result of that. We also added discount expiration dates for memberships!

*   Features:
    
    *   Added an optional description, expiration date, and expiration countdown timer to discounts. The description and countdown (if set) are shown on the memberships page.

*   Improvements:
    
    *   Hide the 'subscribe popup' on the /memberships page (since this is where readers will take some call-to-action regardless, so no need to popup here)
        
    *   Added an 'edit' button in the editor, to be more explicit that users can click this to edit posts
        
    *   Post loading performance improvements! Posts in the dashboard now load much faster since we only fetch post content when you click on a post, rather than fetching your entire post history. 20-100x speed improvement for authors with many posts.
        
    *   Also as a convenience, loading full content of top 5 posts in a non-blocking way when you first log into your dashboard.
        
*   Bug fixes:
    
    *   Added loading indicator and disabled state to gating rule delete button.
        
    *   Added duplicate check when adding team members; use error toast to show the error.
        
    *   Fixed several instances of draft badge appearing automatically as you click around posts.
        
    *   Fixed a nasty bug in which editing the same post from multiple windows (or by multiple people) at the same time could cause that post to duplicate.
        
    *   Fixed a number of back-end and front-end bugs around error handling during the post creation and editing flows.
        
    *   Fixed a regression in which the new post loading performance improvement was causing post previews to not be truncated properly for long posts.
        
    *   Fixed various custom domain bugs.
        
    *   Fixed various Farcaster bugs with the discover/trending/following pages.
        
    *   Fixed a bug with the Zora embed image failing to load in the newsletter.
