Ladybird's Current Progress on Yarn.social

For those that didn't know, I've been keeping track of the Ladybird Web browser's progress in rendering Yarn.social's Discover page. Here's what it looks like currently, as well as some notes on the functionality.

There wasn't much difference the last few times I checked, so I haven't posted an update^[1] in a while. In the past couple of weeks, though, much has changed. Without further ado, here's the current screenshot.

1. ^ Updates in the past were posted to my alternate twtxt feed over on twtxt.net, but they will be here on my website from now on.

A significant regression, visually, from nearly two months ago [PNG, 48KiB], but good progress has been made in other areas.

• The buttons at the top of the page (Timeline, Discover, etc.) are now clickable.
• The login page has been greatly improved; it's a shame I haven't been keeping track of it. Previously, there was a lot of overlapping issues that made it very difficult to sign in. Now, it looks pretty good [PNG, 19KiB], apart from the nav bar.
• Password fields no longer display the text content.
• The tab key now switches between fields.
• The post numbers on conversation links, which Ladybird has always had trouble with, are now much closer to their proper position. Here [PNG, 47KiB] is a screenshot showing this improvement.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with the browser crashing when I was testing it, even with JavaScript disabled. Also, it is still impossible to post from Ladybird; <textarea> elements are broken.

Here are the previous screenshots for comparison, as well as what the same page looks like today in LibreWolf 106.0.4.
