🚀 Release v0.0.17

Overview

The portal became installable this week as we converted it into a progressive web app. We also refreshed navigation and search, introduced repository guidelines, and added automated tests.

Highlights

• Added manifest, service worker, and Vercel configuration for the PWA launch.
• Updated portal navigation and search for faster discovery.
• Published contribution guidelines/tests and enabled chat notifications while renaming the app.

Behind the Scenes

The PWA work required auditing caching strategies so Gun data stays in sync. Documentation updates make onboarding easier for new contributors, while chat notifications rely on background sync improvements.

Looking Ahead

• Measure install rates and collect feedback on offline usage.
• Iterate on navigation shortcuts inspired by the new search experience.
• Expand automated tests to cover notification edge cases.
