Nov 1, 20252025-11 Monthly Summary: Focused on stabilizing the mobile UI for iOS Safari in the manifold app. Delivered a robust bottom bar layout stability fix by enforcing a stable viewport height and controlled scrolling, supplemented with targeted CSS media queries to ensure consistent rendering across devices. These changes reduce visual glitches and improve user experience on iOS Safari, contributing to higher retention and fewer support tickets related to mobile UI. Key outcomes include improved layout stability, reduced jank during navigation, and a clear path for handling future mobile Safari regressions. Tech debt in mobile UI handling has been lower, and the team now has a documented approach for viewport handling.
