Ratings and reviews

Ever since they changed to using passkeys, which never seem to work, this entire website has gone from useful to just about useless. The app is absolutely terrible in both layout and function. Most commands don't want to work, or only work after several seconds worth of lag time. Just another example of really smart people really screwing up a good thing by over thinking it.

Overall the app is decent. It runs fast, and it makes access to notifications quite easy. However, there are a few very basic features missing and their absence is baffling. First of all, there needs to be a way to search the current file. Some source files are 1,000+ lines, and there's no way to navigate them at all. Regex search would be particularly nice. Second of all, there needs to be an 'Open in Browser' option on every single page.

Main issue is the code view is quite lacking. Either you have text wrap which makes it very hard to read, or you turn it off, which makes it impossible to see anything after the right edge (you can't scroll horizontally). There's also no search feature. I think other than that it's a nice app, I can do code reviews on the go.

What's new

- When navigating to filtered issues from repository links filters now persist correctly.
- Fixed syntax highlighting and indentation for certain types of code lines which weren't rendered correctly.
