Unifying Content Display Rules Across Screens
Fragmented content visibility rules were consolidated into a single standard, ensuring consistent presentation regardless of which screen the content appears on.
The same moment and inst content was following different display rules depending on whether it appeared in browse, recommendations, or mode screens. Details such as remaining-time visibility were handled inconsistently across surfaces — a result of each screen implementing its own logic independently as features were added over time.
The focus of this update was not new functionality but consolidation: bringing content visibility decisions into a single, shared location. The countdown display for time-limited content was lifted into a common component shared across all screens. Outdated documentation that no longer accurately described the current structure was also removed, as inaccurate references introduce errors in downstream decision-making.
Divergent display rules across screens represent accumulated structural debt that degrades product consistency. Ensuring that identical content follows identical rules regardless of surface is a direct factor in the reliability of the user experience.
