P.s. This release didn’t go quite as expected, with fewer features implemented than I had planned. Most of the changes are under the hood: a lot of code has been reformatted, and I’m still working on reformatting the rest. I’m currently migrating the app to Voyager navigation and reworking the entire domain and presentation layers, which is a lot of work. I’m not sure yet when the next release will be.
