🚀 Three improvements: faster tabs, topics list view, unified domain | 4/14

Hey Pickful community,

Three small improvements shipping today — one each from performance, UX, and brand.

⚡ Four core mobile tabs are now CDN-cached

Last month we moved the home feed behind Cloudflare’s global cache. This round extends the same treatment to three more tabs — Search, Topics, and Square — bringing the total to four core tabs served from the edge. First-paint HTML for every one of them now comes from the Cloudflare node closest to you, and your personal state (unread counts, likes, drafts) hydrates on top once the page is in the browser.

What you’ll feel, on both iOS and Android: switching tabs is near-instant — no more waiting on the 200–400ms of “server is rendering” lag.

📋 Topics square gets a list view

Until today, the Topics square only rendered as a grid of cover-image cards — easy on the eyes but slow to scan, especially when you already know which topic you’re looking for.

There are now two small icons in the top-right corner that toggle between grid and list view. List mode drops the covers, compresses each row, and lets you see far more topic names at a glance. Your choice is remembered, so it’s there next time.

🌐 Every legacy domain now redirects to pickful.ai

Historically we’ve owned several domains — pickful.org, pickful.xyz, and a handful of www. variants. Starting today, every one of them is a 301 permanent redirect to pickful.ai.

Why it matters:

• User experience: whichever bookmark or link brought you here, you land on the same canonical site. No more “wait, is this the same Pickful?” confusion.
• SEO: search engines consolidate all the link equity accrued on the old domains into pickful.ai, instead of splitting credit across lookalikes. Our rankings get cleaner and stronger.
• Brand: .ai is our canonical TLD. One site, one name — easier to remember, easier to recommend.

If you’ve bookmarked pickful.org or pickful.xyz, you don’t need to touch anything — the 301 carries you to pickful.ai automatically, and most browsers will quietly update the saved bookmark for you.

All three improvements are live across Web, iOS, and Android — no app update required.
