Holy cow this update took a long time, and it's not even done. Of course Elden Ring has been taking up a lot of my time.
Anyways, I've been working to make the search feature work, and this was just the first pass. I wanted the Discovery page to be a place to find content outside of your usual feed, and I had to refactor a lot of code to support all the different scrolling feeds.
Unfortunately, I didn't get search results working with this pass, but that can be a fast follow up. But because I'm now searching for lots of different kinds of content, I needed to update the displays to support music posts, writing posts, and flash and other downloadables. Now I can properly detect them, but I haven't figured out how to play the music yet, or hook up the download button.

But I've noticed that the app is missing only a few more interactions that will really solidify the core loop of the app. Right now you can see the posts, but you can't comment on them yet, or see their longer descriptions. And you can't go to an artists profile and see their other work yet. But once those three pieces are in place, I feel like the app will be a great experience.... assuming you can get past how bad the load times are currently :)

This update includes :
- refactored the content feeds to support the Discovery and Search results
- added displayable views for music, writing, and previews of posts
- added the Discover page and hooked up the UI to construct a search request.

What's next :
- Search results in a new view.
- fix the colors, cause I hecked em up
- find a way to limit the number of items in the Discovery database so they aren't persisted forever
- find a way to improve load times for the Discovery page
- support playing music and downloading writing files
