What changed
A concise summary of the work delivered in this release.
- Added public library pages with explicit public-vs-owner/member behavior and a cleaner bridge back into editable library views.
- Added followed-library foundations including follow/unfollow actions, notifications, and activity tracking for public library changes.
- Refreshed the dashboard library hub, normal library pages, shared entry details, updates, upcoming, feedback, and legal pages into a more consistent product surface.
- Removed visible documentation entry points for now so future docs work can be rebuilt around real onboarding and task guidance.
User value
How this release improves the experience, workflow, or control users get from LoreKeep.
- Users can browse public libraries and then move back into their own library flow without getting lost in mismatched page designs.
- Following and notifications make public libraries more useful over time instead of acting like one-off read-only pages.
- The product now feels more coherent across its main surfaces, which makes navigation and learning the app less jarring.
Full notes
Additional context, implementation notes, or rollout details for this release.
LoreKeep's product shell is no longer split between a few newer pages and a pile of older ones. Public libraries now have their own read-only path, signed-in users can follow public libraries and see change notifications, the main library hub behaves more consistently, and the broader web app now shares much more of the same visual language across dashboard, libraries, updates, upcoming, feedback, and legal pages. At the same time, older documentation entry points were intentionally hidden so the next documentation pass can be rebuilt around actual user tasks instead of preserving a weak placeholder.
