Changes made since the project forked from Soapbox in April 2024.
This changelog does not include a lot of UI changes, consistency improvements, optimizations, accessibility improvements and updates for improved backend compatibility. It's too hard to maintain such a list manually and it wouldn't be really that useful.
> This changelog does not cover every UI change, consistency improvement, optimization, accessibility improvement, or backend compatibility update — maintaining such a list manually would be impractical.
### Major changes
- Switched to a separate library [`pl-api`](https://codeberg.org/nicolium/nicolium/src/branch/develop/packages/pl-api) for Mastodon API integration. It is mostly written from scratch, inheriting minor code parts from Soapbox/Mastodon. This also comes with improved compatibility with various Mastodon API extensions and abstracts out the implementation details.
- Migrated client data stores from Redux to Zustand and remote data stores to TanStack Query. Stores have been migrated away from `immutable`.
- Migrated router from React Router to TanStack Router.
- Styles are being migrated from TailwindCSS to SCSS.
- Cat ears.
