Just sharing the design! This is a showcase, not a public theme release

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.

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?

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?

I think so Discourse Points Mall (Check-in, Shop, Orders, Makeup Cards, Ledger)
