Inkito Update - Fixing bugs

Hello there,

You might be wondering what are the latest improvements on Inkito, the one and only comic-reading front-end powered by the Hive blockchain.

Well recently I was mostly fixing bugs on the reader prototype I recently released. Having tested the page with content from other artists using different format, I noticed issues that required my attention.

1/ The Archive

I realized displaying all images in the archive was way too much, especially for long-time running comics with a lot of banners like @katharsisdrill's "Phill from GCHQ".

That why I changed the archive from displaying all pages to only the first one of each episode (or blog in Hive).

2/ The Page Turn

Another issue I encountered happened when the posted images were smaller than the window height. It would generate a glitch as two element would be present in the viewport at the same time.

The worst being that when you open the comments it would be impossible to read or even use.

I changed that by detecting the elements in viewport manually when scrolling and adding them to a list. Then I would pick the first one as the current one.

It makes for a much smoother experience as seen below.

I pushed those changes to the reader prototype.
You can go read the awesome Phill from GCHQ over there and tell me all about it. ;-)

NB: I'm still noticing some content jump, due to the image loading progressively. That should be fixed with my next development on lazy image loading.

Thanks for passing by,

See you on the other side,

Jrej
