Improvements in this release

🛠️ Simplified integration for React web apps. Install and import from http://localhost:3000/u/lens-protocol/react-web with less configuration. 🔐 Token-gated support: You can now create encrypted posts and comments which can only be read by users that match the criteria you define. 🪪 Active profile is automatically wired as the Observer ID of all relevant queries. Doing so the Lens SDK provides a cohesive view of the data that is relevant to the eye of the Active Profile.

What's new?

• New http://localhost:3000/u/lens-protocol/react-web package for a simplified React web apps integration
