Some notable changes to test out:
- You can now customize the post metadata information (vote counts, comment counts, etc) on your feed! This can be done in Settings -> Appearance -> Compact/Card View Settings. Simply drag and drop the metadata information you want to see on your feed. The order of the information will be the order that you drag it into the preview.
- Some moderator actions are now implemented including locking, featuring, and removing posts! To do this, you must be a moderator of a community. To access these actions, simply long-press on a post and select "Moderator Actions" from the menu.

It says it's built with Flutter. I follow the link to learn about Flutter. It appears to be a web page that hangs due to tracking garbage that is blocked by my adblockers. I fire up the non-blocked browser that I use when I really want to see such content (I usually just close the browser tab) and it says that Flutter is made by Google. Oh, now it makes sense.
