Channel-avatar issue and the sluggish-load issue both addressed.
strawcore-core (Sulkta-Coop/strawcore @ 7c71511) — separate repo,
already committed + pushed:
Channel parser was only pulling avatar from the legacy
c4TabbedHeaderRenderer branch. The newer pageHeaderRenderer
(most channels with a 2024+ refreshed header — including WTYP)
was returning empty avatars. Added a deep-nested ViewModel walk
for pageHeaderRenderer, plus a metadata.channelMetadataRenderer
.avatar.thumbnails[] backfill. WTYP and other re-headered channels
should now show their icon.
Persistent feed cache (data/FeedCacheStore.kt):
New SharedPreferences-backed JSON store. ~225 KB at the upper
bound (30 subs * 30 items * ~250 bytes), well within SP's comfort
zone. Survives process death.
SubscriptionFeedViewModel:
Hydrates from FeedCacheStore on init. The Subs tab now paints
cached items in one frame on cold start, then refreshes stale
channels in the background.
Persists the cache after each successful refresh via Dispatchers.IO.
Per-channel TTL bumped 10min → 30min (disk cache amortizes the
cost; stale-from-disk + background-refresh feels like instant).
Per-channel timeout 15s → 10s (slow channel rides cached value
instead of stalling the batch).
Parallelism 8 → 12 (less network-bound now that UI doesn't wait
for first byte).
StreamItem now @Serializable so the cache can encode it.
FeedCache.init wired into StrawApp.onCreate alongside the other
SharedPreferences-backed stores.
