Codeforces Watcher 1.8.0 (Bradbury): Posts with latest comments

Revision en1, by yevhenii_kanivets, 2020-10-19 22:28:52

Another milestone has been finished, and we are happy to share it with you \o/ Download updated apps from Google Play and App Store.

Dedication

First of all, this milestone is dedicated to the great author Ray Bradbury. Most of you read his book "Fahrenheit 451" in the school, but he has actually created much more interesting stuff. It's important to remember that technologies aren't the absolute good, and you need to educate yourself in many areas (read books, for example) to become a good person ;)

The Feature

There is just one, but huge update in Bradbury. From now you will be able to see the posts with latest comments in News tab. Posts are usually much more meaningful than most of the comments, but they used to be lost among many comments. In contrast, comments without a context (post itself) are difficult to understand.

We resolved both issues by fetching post content, and displaying only the last comment for each post. Pretty much as Facebook does. The next step is YouTube videos from competitive programming bloggers, gathered in this post.

Please, don't hesitate to suggest your favourite authors with surnames starting with C for the next milestone. Also if you would like to see more YouTube bloggers in the News tab, add them in comments to this post.

As always thanks to denmen0207, BOGDAN_ and Karavaiev for development and testing!
