Added
- Subscriptions. File and channel pages now show a subscribe button. A new "Subscriptions" tab appears on the homepage shows the most recent content from subscribed channels.
- LBC acquisition widget. Convert other popular cryptos into LBC via a ShapeShift integration.
- Flow static type checking. This is a dev-only feature, but will make development faster, less error prone, and better for newcomers.
Changed
