Reactime 22.0 heralds significant enhancements, addressing core performance issues and fortifying the overall application's stability and reliability. In our pursuit of consistent evolution, we've updated outdated packages and transitioned state management to Redux Toolkit. This strategic shift not only modernizes our tech stack but also ensures our application is positioned for easier maintenance and scalability in the future. Complementing these upgrades, this release also mends various bugs. The debut of features like the reconnection button, a status icon, and the integration of key web metrics – Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) and Interaction To Next Paint (INP) – amplifies its functionality and offers users a more refined experience.

V23 showcases a sharp new theme to our extension’s UI. We also opted to completely overhaul the styling architecture to make it easier for future developers to change it to their liking.

Addressing the persistent disconnection/black screen issues that occasionally affected users during regular application use, we made decisive improvements by removing the "keepAlive" function and implementing robust logic to fix the core issue. This enabled us to refine the communication protocol between our application and the Chrome extension API, delivering a more consistent and stable connection. To further enhance the user experience and foster resilience, we introduced a user-friendly reconnection feature. This not only offers users a swift recovery route but also acts as an added layer of protection against any unexpected disconnections in the future.

Dependencies
176
172
177

In an effort to improve maintainability, scalability, and longevity, we updated and phased out certain dependencies. To name a few, we moved away from the Immer library and transitioned our state management to use Redux Toolkit, while upgrading the Web Vitals API from version 1.1.2 to 3.5.0, allowing us to harness a broader range of web metrics. As part of this transition, we also converted all of the existing tests to work with the updated state management system, while further expanding testing suites to increase overall testing coverage. Lastly, we achieved a notable increase in TypeScript coverage, strengthening code quality and early detection of potential development issues.
173
+
As of Reactime v22, installing node modules required the use of npm --force due to numerous lingering peer dependency issues. We have tackled this issue head-on in v23 of Reactime. We trimmed bulky packages that already served their purpose. We completely updated those that played a vital role in our extension’s current operation, and we fully resolved their conflicts with other dependencies. By downsizing from 124 to 70 packages, we have made Reactime much lighter and more future-proof.
178

For an improved user experience, we set our sights on several impactful enhancements. First on our list is the reconnection feature, designed as a protective measure for those unexpected moments when a user gets disconnected. In such events, an intuitive pop-up dialog will instantly emerge, offering users a seamless way to dive right back into their session, while also offering the option to download recorded snapshots of state as a JSON file. Complementing this, we've integrated a dynamic status indicator that transparently displays a user's current app status, highlighting whether they're online or offline. But that's not all. We've enriched the application with two vital web performance metrics: Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP). These metrics are pivotal, providing developers with insights into layout stability and responsiveness, empowering them to optimize user interactions with precision.
175
+
This effort serves to bolster Reactime in two ways: First, updating packages like react router and webpack gives Reactime’s users access to the performance upgrades that come with modern versions. Additionally, we have future-proofed Reactime by leaving our dependencies at their latest versions. This effort gives future developers of the extension a head start in adding new features and expanding the power of existing ones.

Loading stability
178
+
179
+
Reactime has experienced persistent issues with stably loading up. Our first step in tackling these loading inconsistencies was to thoroughly unpack Reactime’s inner workings. Tracking the flow of messages from our content script, our background service workers, the Redux state management and our extension’s backend allowed us to diagnose potential roadblocks as Reactime was spinning up. An exhaustive period of trial and error further deepened our understanding of the problem and ultimately led us towards our new and robustly stable launch experience.
180
+
Beyond this, we have built out a road map of documentation with the goal of setting future Reactime developers on the fast track to further enhance the stability of Reactime’s launch and overall user experience.
