+1. There is literally zero negative impact on anyone's life by a hundred new js frameworks coming out every day. Ignore them. Use the ones you know and enjoy. If a new one seems to be gaining mainstream traction, spend an hour to check it out. Don't waste a second of brain activity or get annoyed with new frameworks - there is no reason.

The best thing about this update might be that we finally get pull-to-refresh on the home feed.

Just updated, and I was able to send posts to users without the update. I believe it queues messages for when they update.
