While working on a feature for downloading images in my app, I ran into a strange issue where progress notifications were never reaching 100%.

We’ve read so many sad stories about communities that were fatally compromised or destroyed due to security exploits. We took that lesson to heart when we founded the Discourse project; we endeavor to build open source software that is secure and safe for communities by default, even if there are thousands, or millions, of them […]
