Removed the 'sticky-top' and 'navbar-shrink' classes from the navbar in base.html to enhance its responsiveness and adaptability across different screen sizes. This change aims to offer a more streamlined user experience by ensuring the navbar's style and position remain consistent and unobtrusive, particularly on mobile devices where screen real estate is limited.
Introduced a new LGBTIQ+ rainbow icon SVG to enhance visual representation and inclusivity on the platform. This update includes the integration of the icon within the base template, specifically at the footer section to signal support for the LGBTIQ+ community. This change aligns with our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness.
Changed the text on the membership button from "JOIN & REBEL" to "JOIN & SUPPORT" in the base template.

Implemented a new template filter in Flask to dynamically render SVG icons, allowing for cleaner HTML templates and easier icon management. Added `coffee` and `envelope` SVG icons to the project's asset directory. This change not only streamlines the incorporation of new icons but also enhances the maintainability of the codebase by centralizing icon resources and reducing HTML clutter.

This update significantly improves the way icons are handled throughout the application, providing a more scalable and efficient approach to managing and displaying graphical elements.
Introduced a development mode toggle for the app, which, when enabled, displays a distinctive warning on every page to inform users they are viewing a development version of the site. This warning is styled for clear visibility. Development mode is toggled with a new `--dev` command line argument or by setting an environment variable. The change aims to prevent confusion between the development and production environments for both developers and early users.
- Added new CSS rules for a warning alert style in `base.css`.
- Modified `main.py` to check for a development mode flag and pass a warning message to the template if the flag is set.
- Updated `base.html` to include the warning message when present.
- Added a new template for the development warning message.
Updated descriptions in 'base.html' and 'simple.html' to better reflect Private.coffee's identity as a privacy-focused non-profit association. The new descriptions emphasize the organization's commitment to privacy and digital sovereignty, aligning more closely with its objectives and activities. This change ensures that website visitors receive a clearer understanding of Private.coffee's mission right from their first interaction, potentially improving engagement and support for its privacy advocacy efforts.
Unified the terminology across CSS and HTML by renaming the class `.subtitle` to `.slogan` to better reflect its content purpose. This change ensures consistency in naming conventions and improves readability, aligning the class name with its usage within the site framework, specifically relating to the section that emphasizes the site's key message.
Hid subtitle across the application by adding a CSS rule to not display elements with the `.subtitle` class. This change aligns the UI more closely with the minimalist design ethos the project aims to embody, reducing visual clutter and focusing user attention on the primary content. Affected areas primarily include page headers and footers where the subtitle was previously displayed.
Updated the padding in the navbar links for a more compact appearance, enhancing user interface clarity and consistency. Added margin auto to `.navbar-btn` for better visual symmetry, contributing to a more polished overall layout. Removed unnecessary line breaks (`<br>`) in the base template for a cleaner, more streamlined code and user experience. These adjustments align with our continuous efforts to improve UI aesthetics and usability.
Improved the website's responsiveness by refining the CSS for navigation and general layouts, ensuring a better user experience on devices with a maximum width of 768px. Revised the CSS to introduce clearer sections for general and responsive styles, making the stylesheet easier to navigate and maintain.
Additionally, updated HTML templates to remove query strings from asset references, promoting better caching practices. This change also includes minor text normalization for consistency in presentation, specifically in branding elements.
The alterations aim to provide a more uniform and accessible interface across various device sizes, focusing on mobile-first design principles. By cleaning up asset references, the website's loading times and cacheability are expected to improve, further enhancing user experience.
This update introduces improved responsiveness for mobile devices, scaling down font sizes for the '.special-header' within 'h2' elements and the standalone '.special-header' class. The adjustments ensure better readability and experience on smaller screens. Alongside, the commit revamps the primary button and text styles in the CSS, aligning with the theme's aesthetic enhancements. These changes contribute to a more cohesive visual identity and improved user interaction across various device types.
In addition, minor HTML tweaks enhance navigability and accessibility. Specifically, the Matrix link in 'index.html' is now clickable, directing users to the relevant chat platform, thus improving user engagement and connectivity. A missed update in the 'base.html' introduces a potential placeholder for additional navigation elements, suggesting a direction for future UI/UX improvements.
Update base HTML template to expand navigation bar on medium-sized screens and above.
This change enhances the user experience by allowing for more flexible layout arrangements, especially when viewed on larger devices. This may impact layouts used in various parts of the application.
The commit simplifies the base HTML template by removing unnecessary classes and elements, improving the overall user experience and making it more accessible. This change streamlines the navigation menu, allowing users to easily navigate through the site.
Added MIT license information and project attribution comments to the CSS and HTML base templates as part of aligning with open-source compliance for the Private.coffee project. Ensures users and developers are informed about the licensing and origin of the code, promoting transparency and legal clarity.
This aligns the project's foundational files with open source standards, fostering a community of contribution and respect for intellectual property.
Revised the primary theme color to a more vibrant shade and adjusted related style variables for consistency across the UI. This change enhances the visual appeal and user experience by introducing a fresher, more engaging color palette. Updated variables include primary, secondary, success, info, warning, and danger colors along with their associated text, background, and border utilities to ensure coherence throughout the application's design.

Simplified the footer's Git repository links by consolidating the
KumiGit and GitHub URLs into a single link to the unified Git platform.

migration to a central repository system.
Revamped the appearance of service boxes by introducing a new border color, increased padding, and an inset shadow, aligning them with a new coffee-themed color scheme. Modified the styling of navigation and footer elements to use the new `.bg-coffee` class, ensuring consistency across the UI. These changes improve the overall aesthetic coherence of the interface and enhance user visual experience.
Fixed the Matrix chat room URL in the base template to align with the standardized room naming convention. This change simplifies user access and avoids confusion by ensuring consistency across communication platforms.
Implemented a shared base HTML template to DRY up the markup across the service’s various pages, including the index, legal, privacy, and terms pages. This centralizes common elements like headers, footers, and imports, facilitating easier updates and consistency in design across the platform. Existing content from these individual pages is now extending the base template, adhering to best practices in templating and reducing code duplication.
