## Context
I have been involved (voluntarily) with the development of the Condenser & Wallet apps (that are powering https://hive.blog and https://wallet.hive.blog) for quite a while now. There are other great frontends to Hive out there such as https://peakd.com and https://ecency.com but I have always been more or less faithful with the Condenser.

This is a regular report on my new contributions. Some of the new work below might still be in test and not yet deployed.

## Completing React v16 upgrade
This project took a bit of time to complete. Because we have upgraded the core library of the Condenser, we had to thoroughly test the app before releasing it. It's finally done and out.

## Condenser code clean-up
Now that the React v16 upgrade has completed, I decided to take on another large task I started 8 months ago. The goal was to get all JS and JSX files to pass EsLint.  After  getting everything fixed up, I was excited but then realised that the project was misconfigured and JSX files were never tested against and there was a huge amount of them. So I did what I could and fixed up the most popular files and left the rest to be done every time we start touching a new file. Thanks to @engrave for testing these and updating the GitLab pipeline. Any new commits to the code base will now be rejected if it fails EsLint or Unit Test.

## Fix Storybook
As part of the cleanup, I've also fixed [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org). It's a tool that allows you to render each component of your project in isolation.

## Fix vote breakdown display
The vote breakdown display was not ideal when the post value is zero. So instead of showing vote values of $0, I just showed the voters and if it's a downvote.

## Removal of Google ads code
Since we are not using this anymore, removing it will reduce the code base.

## Adding a cache buster to avatar URLs
Hive user's avatar URL is an alias that redirects to the actual image URL. That redirection is cached and is sometimes creating confusion as it does not reflect the new avatar when someone uploads a new image. We agreed on adding a cache buster to avatar URLs. That cache buster is generated once per session so we are still taking advantage of the cache during the session.

## Embedded players
I've modified the embedded player code to better handle video player aspect ratios. I've also added support for Instagram and TikTok embedded players.
