The three dots menu works now! I initially thought of making a dropdown menu instead of the bottom sheet thingy, but I realised it wouldn't really be possible to make a modal inside of a flatlist, and position it as I wanted. But anyways, it looks okayish for now ig. The like button turns into a delete post button when its your own post, so now you have a way to delete your own post!
Next goal: make stuff shareable (should be super simple thanks to expo)

Fixed all major bugs, that made this app really annoying, like those constant flickers and flicker on toggling the like button. Also fixed the comment section bug where the keyboard went boom on each keystroke (Just had to split that into a different component, so that it only renders that part). Now I am left with fixing the double flicker for loading, I mean its not as much annoying, but still...
But my current priority is push notifications and a dropdown menu so that people can at least delete their own comments/posts.

YAYAYAY!!! It's finally working! ik I am making a devlog after quite some time, but I was really struggling to build a successful apk, finally its working :sob: . Turns out there was nothing wrong with my code, but with my workflow, github secrets weren't working as expected, I messed something up most likely. Eas cloud builds work perfectly, the sad thing is, the builds won't be made as often, cause eas cloud has a limit of 30builds/month, and has extremely long queue times. No UI changes yet, but I swear I will do that within the next devlog. Oh, also fixed that flickering bug partially, through memoizing (but still need to stop those re-renders on like/dislike).

Here's the link if you want to try it out: https://expo.dev/accounts/shibamroy/projects/HackNet/builds/52b34665-2412-419e-9985-e7af3167c907

New day, new bugs :heavysob:, but I probably found the problem. I mixed up react navigation and expo router, now migrated the entire application to expo router, and while it works...... Two of the screens kinda remount, I couldn't find the cause yet, but hopefully I would be able to fix it soon. Ik, there are no visual changes, but trust me, a lot of stuff is going on. Oh wait, did I mention, I setup github actions, so it automatically builds a new apk after each commit!
Current goal: Fix the bug, make friend requests/friends thingy work.

So sad rn:(
Users can view other profiles, but that's not the problem. In this 5hr devlog, I spent ~4.5 hrs on building an apk. It took 10 attempts, and guess what, the build crashes on startup.
I can't think of anyway to fix it.... I don't even know if there is anything else left to try.
Maybe, will try debugging again, I just hope I would be able to fix it soon, wish me luck

No visual changes in this devlog, but did a loooooot of stuff, basically refactored the entire codebase. Removed some clutter, and not-so-useful placeholders.
Next goal, Be able to check other's profiles, should be pretty simple. Lemme attach a video this time!

Didn't do much major changes, added like,comment, and log count.
Tried building it but failed miserably, will try again after fixing some stuff.
Current goal is code optimization and removing bad code.

Comments finally work now!!!! The buttons on them don't work yet, but soon will. It took quite a while, because of a lot of bugs :heavysob: . The comment input box of the original post still doesn't work properly, idk what the possible cause is, I tried my best to fix it, but I couldn't. I have something on my mind though, I still gotta wrap the whole post in a keyboard avoiding view, who knows it might fix the problem. My keyboard just automatically dismisses after each keystroke. The comment box inside of the comment section works properly though. I honestly have a feeling that it might be cause its inside a flatlist, but let's see tommorrow
