Obsidian 1.7.1 (early access) is now available to Catalyst members for desktop and mobile.
Startup time is significantly faster on mobile. For vaults with 10,000+ notes you can expect to see at least 50% reduction in load time.
Editable page previews and footnotes are also improving quickly. Page previews stay open even if the window loses focus or the command palette appears. Pressing "Esc" instantly closes the page preview while editing.
+ many more small fixes and improvements!
