Version 1.8.4 Released

So far we've had review sharing cards, but these are disabled if you haven't written a review. Now there are also rating cards where you can share just the rating, no review required. Furthermore, there are a few more quality of life improvements regarding watch dates: when choosing "On Air Date", you can now set an offset like "1 day after", etc. This is a useful shortcut... Moreover, for shows that drop the entire season at once (Netflix style), you can now specify some preset day spacing, so that choosing an exact date doesn't make *all* episodes marked as watched the same date. This would lead to less manual watch date setting for individual episodes.
