Hey all!
I have now pushed quite a substantial release for ForumSpark. I've outlined the main areas below but please take a look at the changelog to see a full list of updates :)
New Look
As you will have noticed, Forum Spark has a new look. Whilst the purple and orange was a good nod to the past, we felt that it was best that we came up with our own look.
Now, I’m no designer but I tried to keep the look clean and professional so that maintains that ‘easy to use’ feel.
The old purple and orange has not gone away completely, and for anyone interested, it will be available soon to download and use. You can already find assets and source files in our GitHub https://github.com/forumspark/nostalgia-theme.
With the new theme, I’ve taken a great deal of time to go through and make sure all HTML is marked up with component classes rather than the Tailwind classes. This should make it easier for you to develop new themes.
I also introduced a Global Dark Mode toggle which theme designers can access and use in their themes (more information to follow)
API & Webhooks
Behind the scenes I’ve been working to build an API to allow developers to build extensions. This is a very pragmatic API but should open up a world of possibilities to extend the capabilities of your boards.
You can see the API documented in our Documentation: https://docs.forumspark.net/api/ and the full Admin API spec can be found here https://forumspark.net/api .
Other updates
I have been making lots of little updates throughout this last week and have updated our Changelog with a list of all of the changes.
Please let me know if you notice any issues of course!
