Hi everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a few screenshots of **JustNaiNai Nova** , the custom design I’ve been working on for my anime and gaming community.

My goal was to give the forum a more personal, anime-inspired look while keeping the familiar Discourse experience underneath. Think soft blue colors, character artwork, rounded cards, and matching light and dark styles. 💙

Here are a few parts I’d love to show you:

- The homepage and its card-based layout.
- The redesigned profile pages.
- The mobile search and notification panel.
- The desktop and mobile versions side by side.

**Desktop screenshots**

I’m still refining some details, but I’m excited to see the design coming together!

**This is just a visual showcase, not a public theme release. I’m not sharing an installation package at this stage.**

Thanks to the Discourse team and community for making this level of customization possible. It’s been fun giving the forum its own personality. 😊

Which part of the design do you like most?

I love the gamification features you added around tasks and points 😎

You must have a lot of code running behind the theme to drive that. Did you build that with a Discourse plugin?
