Changes:

Repeating a post requires a :check_mark_button: confirmation step to avoid accidental clicks since a repeat cannot be undone.The navbar has been split for desktop and mobile, each getting their own unique design to suit the screen size.
On desktop the apps are now organized by categories with a pinned area at top, :star: an app in nav to send it to top. The user-menu has also been moved to top.
On mobile the bottom navbar has a user menu, favorite menu, app drawer and a panel switch. All self-explanatory. The notification widget has also been reorganized, instead of tiny tabs/buttons we have all notifications shown as sections.The newspaper feed layout has also been improved.For /settings and /admin save button will appear as a sticky floating :floppy_disk: in lower right corner. So you dont have to scroll all the way up/down for saving a single change.
As always feedback, suggestions are welcome :cat_with_wry_smile:

Key changes:

A bug where during build time service worker file (sw.js) was not copied to output directory leading to missing functionality (caching, notifications etc.) was fixed. verify by visiting /spa/sw, should show file content instead of 404.A lightweight Jellyfin client is available as an integration allowing you to play music/videos directly in your app, share your listening/watching activity, create watch parties and invite your connections. For testing this you can add the jellyfin demo instance (https://demo.jellyfin.org/stable user:demo no password)
Optimized file chunks, leading to faster first load time./admin/themes would now allow to set hub-wide solidfied theme preferences.Images in posts, articles, webpages, wiki can be opened in lightbox for a bigger view.
Would recommend an update particularly for the service worker fix.

Modified full-screen post view to two columns, allowing to read post and comments side by side on big screens (collapses to single column on less width). Depending on use case the three modes (docked, modal, full-screen) should allow displaying the post conveniently.

A number of issues have been fixed, UI/UX improvements thanks to comprehensive feedback/testing from various people.

Composer improvements: particularly with extra line breaks being inserted in post, mobile layout fixes and better markdown/html/bbcode/plain text integration with wysiwyg interface.Bookmark module has been improved, now links in posts can be directly bookmarked from the post-card and it will be saved automatically, organized by contact names.Invite module has been implemented.Photo module has a download photo/album option, and multiple selection and edit options, same as in files/cloud module.The share object flow has guest token addition/removal in the UI. A pirate language option for the upcoming International talk like a pirate day :winking_face_with_tongue:
Feedback, suggestions and bug reports are most welcome. Next phase would be preparation for upgrading the theme to Solidjs v2.0 which is going to be released soon and is coming with a lot of optimizations/improvements.

Channel default feed can be replaced with three unique styled feed views,

The newspaper view (suggested by @chris@im.allmendenetz.de)

The timeline view

The scrapbook view

These are a quick mockup and can be further polished but a good demonstration of how much the UI can be customised. Try these out and keep the suggestions and feedback coming!

Solidified now is complete with all default modules working and most of addon features incorporated. You can give it a try by adding the theme repo with ./util/add_theme_repo https://github.com/saiwal/Utsukta-hub-themes.git utsukta-themes and enabling it from /admin/themes`.

The interface is intuitive but if you need help with any widget, you can use the help icon in the lower left corner for contextual help. Currently 3 languages are supported, english, hindi and german. Other languages can be easily added if needed.Issues and bugs can be reported in the theme repo https://github.com/saiwal/Utsukta-hub-themes/issues

I have been testing a new approach to building themes for hubzilla, using SolidJS (javascript framework) and with some tinkering and testing and lot of learning javascript I was able to make it work.
Solidified will be a new Hubzilla theme built with SolidJS, shipped through Hubzilla's native theme framework. This theme uses hooks to expose JSON endpoints for Hubzilla modules, allowing SolidJS to handle rendering completely on the client side.
This is still early days, right now only the network module is up and running with bare basic social implementations, and there's a lot more to implement/test/debug. It's a great learning experience so far and I'm genuinely excited to see how this pans out! A preview:

Four new themes have been added to the repo, these are still in beta and need some testing and polishing in the coming days/weeks. This is a first public release. The themes are fully usable, but some layout polish and small refinements are still in progress. I’d really appreciate feedback from others running them in different setups.

2025-12-06T20:22:06Z

The adminlte_tour addon which provided a guided tour for the first time has been moved to the theme repo instead of separately as an addon. If you previously installed this addon, it should be disabled/uninstalled since it is no longer needed.
To enable this feature, update your themes with ./util/update_theme_repo, and from https://mostr.pub/admin/themes disable and re-enable AdminTLE theme. This is required to register the hooks for the first time. After this visting https://mostr.pub/hq would present you with the first tour which can be skipped and later re-enabled from /settings/display.

To help new users get familiar with the interface more tours will be added in the future along with tutorial tours, e.g. making a post, creating privacy groups, etc.
