📸 Smoother Photo Browsing, Better Performance Foundations & More

We’ve made several updates to improve the Hostshare experience — from how you view listings to how the app performs behind the scenes.

🖼️ Photo & Slideshow Enhancements

Listings on the search view now display
up to 5 preview photos
you can swipe through.
Improved
mobile swiping gestures
for a more intuitive experience.
Added
carousel dot indicators
and smoother hover animations across listing previews.
Implemented
lazy loading
on photos throughout the app to speed up load times and improve performance on pages like Saved Listings.

⚙️ Under-the-Hood Improvements

We've migrated our entire codebase and deployment pipeline to
GitHub
, streamlining our development cycle for faster updates and better reliability.
Our backend is now running on
horizontally scalable servers
, which helps the app automatically scale with user demand — improving performance and uptime.

🔁 Other Fixes & Updates

Fixed a bug affecting the
back button on Safari
when navigating from the homepage.
Re-enabled the ability to
create listings via Airbnb URL
—this option is now visible again!
Removed the 30-night cap
on max shared nights to allow more balanced contributions and encourage quality travel matches.

🛠️ What’s Next

We’re currently focused on:

Major performance upgrades
to reduce slow load times and optimize app responsiveness.
Building the foundation for
Advanced Travel
, including the ability to search by specific dates and future availability.
