Lotus release Notes v0.3.0

By DrShift July 23, 2026

Highlights

Sky onboarding
A calm, non-technical way to create your Lotus identity: choose a name, review your key, set an optional device lock, and finish with gentle cloud reveals. Existing Nostr sign-in methods stay available for anyone who already has a key.
Sky share previews
Every Lotus share link now unfurls as a polished preview card in chats and social apps, including friend and group invites, public pages and forms, booking pages, map places and collections, group conversations, and the About page.
Refreshed invites
Friend and group invite entry screens are redesigned in the same Sky language.
Mute conversations
Mute a chat and Lotus keeps it out of the way across the app.
Request a badge
Ask someone for a badge straight from their profile, delivered privately over your DM relays.
Group support rooms
Groups now discover the “EINUNDZWANZIG Project” rooms assigned to them automatically.
Terms & Impressum
New Terms of Service and Impressum pages, linked from the home, sign-in, and About footers, alongside a fresh full-bleed About banner.
Follow Lotus by feed
Subscribe to Lotus releases and news over RSS, Atom, or JSON Feed, linked from the home and About footers.
Pro on every domain
Your Lotus Pro subscription now stays active across both app URLs.

Muted conversations are honored across chat, with a rewritten mute codec that still reads older encrypted mute lists.
Share preview images now serve correctly from both production hosts.
A new extensible Sky card system powers every share preview, and the discovery wizard moved from boxed layouts to focused glass controls.
The news feed is generated from the release notes at build time in three formats: RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed.
The JSON feed includes the raw Markdown so releases can be picked up by automation.
News and blog feeds are wired and ready for future content.
Release notes now have their own Sky header card for sharing as long-form articles.

Thanks to everyone who shipped this release:
