## First reaction strange behavior Not sure if that’s a bug per se, but I found it interesting, at least. I’ll leave it up to you all to decide if it's a bug or a feature. We noticed the first reaction on a post triggers a weird reload of that post. It looks like the interface quickly shows an optimistic update, then corrects itself once the server responds. This causes a flicker or reload effect only on the very first reaction, even if that reaction is later removed. We tested common video formats like MP4 for embedding, hoping they’d play directly in the browser. Unfortunately, MP4 uploads don’t create an embedded player here, so users must download the file to watch. GIFs embed fine but don’t offer the quality or length we want. A good workaround could be showing videos in a modal preview, similar to how landing page videos work. The reaction counts are cumulative and toggle correctly, but the first reaction's reload glitch still persists. We marked this issue as complete, but it’s a reminder how tricky UI sync with server states can be—even with good intentions.
