 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.7.4] - 2025-10-18
+
+### Added
+
+- Profile page data preloading for instant tab switching
+  - Automatically preloads all highlights and writings when viewing a profile (`/p/` pages)
+  - Non-blocking background fetch stores all events in event store
+  - Tab switching becomes instant after initial preload
+
+### Changed
+
+- `/me/bookmarks` tab now displays in cards view only
+  - Removed view mode toggle buttons (compact, large) from bookmarks tab
+  - Cards view provides optimal bookmark browsing experience
+  - Grouping toggle (grouped/flat) still available
+- Highlights sidebar filters simplified when logged out
+  - Only nostrverse filter button shown when not logged in
+  - Friends and personal highlight filters hidden when logged out
+  - Cleaner UX showing only available options
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Profile page tabs now display cached content instantly
+  - Highlights and writings show immediately from event store cache
+  - Network fetches happen in background without blocking UI
+  - Matches Explore and Debug page non-blocking loading pattern
+  - Eliminated loading delays when switching between tabs
+
+### Performance
+
+- Cache-first profile loading strategy
+  - Instant display of cached highlights and writings from event store
+  - Background refresh updates data without blocking
+  - Tab switches show content immediately without loading states
+
+## [0.7.3] - 2025-10-18
+
+### Added
+
+- Centralized nostrverse writings controller for kind 30023 content
+  - Automatically starts at app initialization
+  - Streams nostrverse blog posts progressively to Explore page
+  - Provides non-blocking, cache-first loading strategy
+- Centralized nostrverse highlights controller
+  - Pre-loads nostrverse highlights at app start for instant toggling
+  - Streams highlights progressively to Explore page
+  - Integrated with EventStore for caching
+- Writings loading debug section on `/debug` page
+  - Diagnostics for writings controller and loading states
+
+### Changed
+
+- Explore page now uses centralized `writingsController` for user's own writings
+  - Auto-loads user writings at login for instant availability
+  - Non-blocking fetch with progressive streaming
+- Explore page loading strategy optimized
+  - Shows skeleton placeholders instead of blocking spinners
+  - Seeds from cache, then streams and merges results progressively
+  - Keeps nostrverse fetches non-blocking
+- User's own writings now included in Explore when enabled
+  - Lazy-loads on 'mine' toggle when logged in
+  - Streams in parallel with friends/nostrverse content
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Explore page works correctly in logged-out mode
+  - Relies solely on centralized nostrverse controllers
+  - Controllers start even when logged out
+  - Fetches nostrverse content properly without authentication
+- Explore page no longer allows disabling all scope filters
+  - Ensures at least one filter (mine/friends/nostrverse) remains active
+  - Prevents blank content state
+- Explore page reflects default scope setting immediately
+  - No more blank lists on initial load
+  - Pre-loads and merges nostrverse from event store
+- Explore page highlights properly scoped
+  - Nostrverse highlights never block the page
+  - Shows empty state instead of spinner
+  - Streams results into store immediately
+  - Highlights are merged and loaded correctly
+- Article-specific highlights properly filtered
+  - Highlights scoped to current article on `/a/` and `/r/` routes
+  - Derives coordinate from naddr for early filtering
+  - Sidebar and content only show relevant highlights
+  - ContentPanel shows only article-specific highlights for nostr articles
+- Explore writings properly deduplicated
+  - Deduplication by replaceable event (author:d-tag) happens before visibility filtering
+  - Consistent dedupe/sort behavior across all loading scenarios
+- Debug page writings loading section added
+  - No infinite loop when loading nostrverse content
+
+### Performance
+
+- Non-blocking explore page loading
+  - Fully non-blocking loading strategy
+  - Seeds caches then streams and merges results progressively
+- Lazy-loading for content filters
+  - Nostrverse writings lazy-load when toggled on while logged in
+  - Avoids redundant loading with guard flags
+- Streaming callbacks for progressive updates
+  - Writings stream to UI via onPost callback
+  - Posts appear instantly as they arrive from cache or network
+
+## [0.7.2] - 2025-01-27
+
+### Added
+
+- Cached-first loading with EventStore across the app
+  - Instant display of cached highlights and writings from local event store
+  - Progressive loading with streaming updates from relays
+  - Centralized event storage for improved performance and offline support
+- Default explore scope setting for controlling content visibility
+  - Configurable default scope for explore page content
+  - Dedicated Explore section in settings for better organization
+
+### Changed
+
+- Highlights and writings now load from cache first, then stream from relays
+- Explore page shows cached content instantly before network updates
+- Article-specific highlights stored in centralized event store for faster access
+- Nostrverse content cached locally for improved performance
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Prevent "No highlights yet" flash on `/me/highlights` page
+- Force React to remount tab content when switching tabs for proper state management
+- Deduplicate blog posts by author:d-tag instead of event ID for better accuracy
+- Show skeleton placeholders while highlights are loading for better UX
+
+### Performance
+
+- Local-first loading strategy reduces perceived loading times
+- Cached content displays immediately while background sync occurs
+- Centralized event storage eliminates redundant network requests

+# NIP-85
+
+## Reading Progress
+
+`draft` `optional`
+
+This NIP defines kind `39802`, a parameterized replaceable event for tracking reading progress across articles and web content.
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+* [Format](#format)
+  * [Tags](#tags)
+  * [Content](#content)
+* [Examples](#examples)
+
+## Format
+
+Reading progress events use NIP-33 parameterized replaceable semantics. The `d` tag serves as the unique identifier per author and target content.
+
+### Tags
+
+Events SHOULD tag the source of the reading progress, whether nostr-native or not. `a` tags should be used for nostr events and `r` tags for URLs.
+
+When tagging a URL, clients generating these events SHOULD do a best effort of cleaning the URL from trackers or obvious non-useful information from the query string.
+
+- `d` (required): Unique identifier for the target content
+  - For Nostr articles: `30023:<pubkey>:<identifier>` (matching the article's coordinate)
+  - For external URLs: `url:<base64url-encoded-url>`
+- `a` (optional but recommended for Nostr articles): Article coordinate `30023:<pubkey>:<identifier>`
+- `r` (optional but recommended for URLs): Raw URL of the external content
+
+### Content
+
+The content is a JSON object with the following fields:
+
+- `progress` (required): Number between 0 and 1 representing reading progress (0 = not started, 1 = completed)
+- `loc` (optional): Number representing a location marker (e.g., pixel scroll position, page number, etc.)
+- `ts` (optional): Unix timestamp (seconds) when the progress was recorded
+- `ver` (optional): Schema version string
+
+The latest event by `created_at` per (`pubkey`, `d`) pair is authoritative (NIP-33 semantics).
+
+Clients SHOULD implement rate limiting to avoid excessive relay traffic (debounce writes, only save significant changes).
+
+## Examples
+
+### Nostr Article
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 39802,
+  "pubkey": "<user-pubkey>",
+  "created_at": 1734635012,
+  "content": "{\"progress\":0.66,\"loc\":1432,\"ts\":1734635012,\"ver\":\"1\"}",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "30023:<author-pubkey>:<article-identifier>"],
+    ["a", "30023:<author-pubkey>:<article-identifier>"]
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+### External URL
+
+```json
+{
+  "kind": 39802,
+  "pubkey": "<user-pubkey>",
+  "created_at": 1734635999,
+  "content": "{\"progress\":1,\"ts\":1734635999,\"ver\":\"1\"}",
+  "tags": [
+    ["d", "url:aHR0cHM6Ly9leGFtcGxlLmNvbS9wb3N0"],
+    ["r", "https://example.com/post"]
