1.8.4

Your Hot Take card is now weekly. One card for the week that fills in as you answer, one link to share, and a Sunday recap that matches it. The card also prints a short link friends can type in. Scores are judged against everyone who answered, and a take only counts once enough people have weighed in. Fixes for the sign-in spinner, pull to refresh, card spacing, and the headers on the graph and Great minds pages.
