Limerino: Chat for Twitch

Pictures in chat, 7TV name paints on every name that has one, and two full passes over speed, heat and battery. PICTURES IN CHAT The plus button beside the composer uploads a photo and puts the link in your message, with location and camera details stripped before it leaves the phone. Nothing uploads on its own: an image goes only when you attach or paste one. Uploads land at kappa.lol out of the box, or at your own host if you run one. Whether links from those hosts draw their picture inline is a separate switch, off until you turn it on, so the app fetches nothing from them for a message somebody else posted. PAINTS ON EVERY NAME 7TV name paints were landing on some names and quietly missing others, most visibly when you tagged someone whose messages were not on screen. The app now recognizes the person behind a name, so paints reach mention chips, reply strips, thread views, quoted messages, profiles and replays. A paint that arrives late repaints the rows already showing that name instead of leaving them flat, and a paint dropped when the system reclaims memory comes back rather than staying plain until the next message. FASTER, COOLER, LONGER Two sweeps across launch, channel opening, chat rendering, emotes, images, storage and networking. Switching channels paints chat first instead of waiting on the stream banner, your own message appears the moment you send it, the emote picker opens without its first-time pause, and a busy channel no longer redraws the whole screen with every arriving message. Idle cost is lower, so a long session should be easier on the battery. GESTURES THAT DO WHAT YOU MEANT A swipe to reply no longer fires whatever it slid across: author names, whisper captions, link cards and clip cards stay put until you tap one deliberately. A mention keeps its color when that person's messages age out, instead of flashing to white. Dragging chat down to dismiss the keyboard hands off to the system's own scrolling rather than fighting it, and rotating in split view keeps both sides where you left them. KEEP THE SCREEN AWAKE A new switch in Settings, under Device, off by default. Turn it on and your phone will not auto-lock anywhere in Limerino; normal locking resumes the moment you leave. It costs battery, which is why it ships off. ALSO Timed-out and banned messages say for how long and why. Tapping a mention opens its channel and finds the message. Relative times drop the ticking seconds. A slow credential check no longer shows you signed out over a perfectly good login. Emotes that fell back to text after a rough patch of connection come back on their own. Plus a long list of smaller repairs across chat, whispers, moderation tools, settings and the video player, most of them reported by people using the app.
