  1. 01

    Four layouts

    Shipped

    Flow is the chronological feed most communities want. Classic is the categorised forum board for communities that think in sections. Library is the book-shelf posture for writing groups (🟡 coming Q3). Chronicle is the campaign log for roleplay and session-based groups (🟡 coming Q3). Switch any time without losing a thread, a permalink, or a member.

  2. 02

    Every colour token

    Shipped

    Canvas, surface, ink (five depths), line (two strengths), and six spot accents — coral, moss, ochre, mauve, ink-blue, signal. Every value is editable in the studio; the resulting palette runs the entire forum, not just one banner.

  3. 03

    Typography presets

    Shipped

    Pick a preset — Editorial, Modern, Quiet — or build your own from the catalogue. Serif for headlines, mono for meta, body for prose. Sizes scale together; you don't tune nine numbers to change one feel.

  4. 04

    Custom CSS

    Maker tier

    Drop into a Monaco editor with live preview. Sandboxed to your forum, so a typo can't take down the platform or leak styles to other communities. Variable names match the token system, so your overrides survive theme updates.

  5. 05

    The save pill

    Shipped

    Every change is optimistic — you see it the instant you type. A floating save pill collects unsaved changes; click save, the change is live for everyone. Click undo within ten seconds if you change your mind.

UNDER THE HOOD

  3. 03A floating save pill appears, tracking unsaved changes.
  4. 04Click save — the change is live for every member immediately.
  5. 05Click undo within ten seconds if you regret it.
WHAT THIS ISN'T
  • Custom CSS is Maker tier only

    Hobby tier gets the full token system + presets + custom CSS for one persona we ran out of room to support without making it the headline. Maker unlocks the editor.

  • No theme marketplace

    You build your own theme or use the presets. We don't run a "theme shop" — every community we've seen wants their own palette anyway.

  • Switching layouts reflows the chrome

    Flow → Chronicle is non-destructive, but the navigation, sidebar widgets, and post chrome rearrange themselves. Threads survive; muscle memory takes a day.
