Vier Facelift?

Before I started work on BookLook the plan was to just create a modern UI style for the "Vier" theme along the same lines of what I did with Bookface for the "Frio" theme. I didn't really get all that far with the one for Vier, but it was pretty functional - at least on desktop. I hadn't thought about the mobile UI. Instead of Facebook this "Modern" style takes design cues from both Mastodon and Bluesky.

Anyway, I pulled that stylesheet into Friendica 2026.08-dev and now I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and finish it? I'm not sure how Vier users feel about it. Is there any interest in this?

As for what's left to do, the two sections you see above are the only ones I finished styling. Though the layout seems to work pretty well across most of the Friendica. I'd also need to figure out the responsive design including how this transforms into a mobile UI for phones and tablets, and of course make a "dark mode" variant.

Not sure if it would get into the Friendica core code or not, but if there's interest I can work on finishing it and at least release it on my own repository like I do with Bookface.
