Unified Recommendation Ranking Across Surfaces
Consolidated fragmented recommendation logic into a single server-side baseline, eliminating duplicate ranking decisions across screens.
The same content was being surfaced with inconsistent ordering across the explore and recommendation screens. With ranking logic distributed across multiple views, there was no reliable guarantee of consistency in what appeared and when.
Recommendation and explore signals have been moved to a shared server-side baseline and configuration. Items now carry explicit context about how and where they surface. Rather than each screen computing its own order at render time, views receive a pre-determined ranking from the server. Deprecated decision paths have been removed to eliminate duplicate ranking logic.
In the same update, the diary entry flow was completed end-to-end. The path from completing an emotional entry to contributing a recommendation signal — previously disconnected — is now fully integrated. Now Playing and lock screen remote control handling, along with refinements to the initial app entry screen, were also addressed.
