Bug fixes and stability improvements.

This release brings PUBlish's AI/SEO citation features front and center: verified profile identity, visible topic expertise, instant Google indexing on publish, and full AI-assistant readability, plus an embeddable widget for your own website. Also in this release: smoother scrolling and a more polished, more native feel throughout the app, more reliable notifications, and several fixes for content that wasn't displaying correctly.

Search engines and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity are careful about who they recommend. Before citing an author, they check two things: is this a real person, and what do they actually know? This update makes both answers unmistakable. - Verified identity. Your PUBlish profile now links directly to your other profiles - your website, LinkedIn, Instagram - so AI engines can confirm it's really you. We also connected profiles to Wikidata, the reference source machines use to identify people. - Recognized expertise. Every topic you write about now builds visible signal on your profile. Publish three pieces on the same subject, and the pattern is unmistakable: this person knows this field. - Faster discovery. The moment you publish, we notify Google directly - new articles are typically found in hours, not days. - AI-readable by design. Every major AI assistant can now read and cite PUBlish content. - Bring it to your own site. A single line of code displays your three latest PUBlish articles on your own website. Likes disappear. Citations compound. ALSO IN THIS UPDATE - A more native app experience throughout, including a redesigned navigation bar - Photos and videos in your feed now display edge-to-edge - Messages: more reliable photo and file sharing, and message reactions - Short posts can now include a photo or video - Fixed an issue causing the app to crash on launch for some users - Various performance and stability improvements
