We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. The team shipped a lot this cycle. Filters, redesigns, and performance wins. Plus a generous helping of bug fixes that nobody asked for but everyone needed. - The chat input bar has been redesigned with a fresh look. It's cleaner, more modern, and somehow the team argued about it for three days. Worth it. - You can now filter by community preferences and edit them directly from your profile. The grid now shows you exactly who you're looking for. - Profiles now open faster — you'll see faces sooner and wait less. The devs called this "performance optimization." We call it "no more staring at a loading spinner." - Fixed an audio session bug that would reset mid-call. Your video chats should now stay smooth from hello to goodbye, no mysterious silences included. - MAX subscribers now correctly show their visibility status in the grid. It was showing the wrong thing before. We noticed. We fixed it. You're welcome. - Fixed a pop-up panel that would collapse unexpectedly on certain screens. The drama was not appreciated. - Fixed the missing back button when opening a profile from a moment in the feed carousel. You were trapped. We let you out. - Fixed an empty cache page that appeared when returning from certain scroll states. It was just a blank page staring back at you. That's not a feature. - Fixed the selected tab indicator in dark mode — it was completely invisible. Like a ghost, but less fun. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.

We're constantly improving Hornet to help you connect better. This update brings a smoother, faster experience with powerful new ways to stand out and discover. What did the team do this time? A lot, actually. Someone even stayed late on a Friday. We know. We were shocked too. - We've improved our identity verification process. It's smoother, faster, and nobody on the team cried while building it. (We can neither confirm nor deny this.) - Long feed posts now collapse behind a "...more" button. Your manifesto is still there. We just tidied up the living room a bit. - Moment comments got a whole new look - a beautiful sheet with all the activity details. We showed it to the team and someone said "finally." We're choosing not to unpack that. - Filters for looking for, relationship, and language now have a "Not Specified" option. For the beautifully undecided among us. - Chats load noticeably faster. We'd explain the technical details but honestly it would put both of us to sleep. - We updated the sign-up experience when you skip adding a photo. It's gentler now. Still judging, but gentler. - Account switching is now seamless - no more visual glitches during the transition. That was a fun bug report to read. - Fixed a crash when swiping through profiles. We found it, we fixed it, we added a test so it doesn't come back. (It'll probably come back.) - And the usual assortment of tiny fixes that nobody will notice but the devs are very proud of. Let them have this one. We've also fixed bugs and improved overall performance of the app. We'll keep updating Hornet to make connecting with the community faster and more reliable.
