🚀 Orion Store v1.2.4 — The "Polish & Performance"

A focused release tackling user-reported bugs, device-specific performance issues, and UX improvements across the lightbox, variant picker, and submission flow.

✨ New Features

• Mobile Lightbox Navigation Arrows — Visible prev/next buttons now appear below the dot indicators on mobile, providing an explicit alternative to swipe gestures.
• Screenshot Thumbnails in Submissions — Added image previews in the submission form so you can verify screenshots before submitting.
• Auto-saving Submission Drafts — Your submission form progress is now saved automatically. Switching apps or accidentally closing the modal won't lose your work.

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Instant Scroll-to-Top — The button now jumps to the top instantly instead of using the slow smooth scroll animation that caused visible lag on long lists.
• Debounced Scroll Listener — Scroll event handler now uses requestAnimationFrame throttling, reducing unnecessary re-renders and improving scroll performance.
• Settings Modal Preloading — The Settings chunk is preloaded 2 seconds after launch, eliminating the delay when opening Settings on Android for the first time.
• Faster Post-Splash Loading — App data fetching starts immediately on launch instead of waiting 500ms, reducing the blank screen time after the splash animation.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Lightbox Swipe Reliability — Fixed screenshot swiping failing to complete on some devices by adding a timeout fallback for missed CSS transitionend events.
• Duplicate Category Tabs — Fixed "utility" and "Utility" appearing as separate filter categories by normalizing all categories to title-case in the data worker.
• Duplicate Variant Entries — Fixed the variant/architecture picker showing multiple identical entries (e.g. "Universal" × 3) by deduplicating by arch name.
• Scroll Button Overlap — Repositioned the scroll-to-top button higher to avoid being hidden behind 3-button navigation bars.
• Variant Picker Overflow — Made the architecture picker scrollable when many options are available, preventing content from being cut off.

This is the final sub release of V1.2. , 1.3 and its sub versions will be focused on UI overhaul. Thanks for all the supporters who donated, it was unexpected. Once again thanks for appreciating my work.
