I had issues with snort and coracle regarding post loading. Infinite loading and all that. I'm starting to doubt that "simplicity at the center and complexity at the edges" is that good of a paradigm... all clients lack something very fundamental like showing and making posts reliably, following people and such, but they're very eager to implement non-essential features such as zapping or badges. Looks like debugging the core features is quite hard if they're in such a poor state.
