Bookface User Styles?
I may have asked this before, but I'd love to know if anyone out there is still using the Bookface Userstyles in a userContent.css stylesheet or with the "Stylus" or "Userscripts" browser extensions?
Because if nobody is really using Bookface Userstyles anymore I'd like to stop updating them. They have some significant differences from the Bookface scheme files and so require a lot of extra manual editing and testing to make sure they work at overriding the Frio theme. They may be how Bookface got started but I'm not using them myself anymore and wondered if anyone else is still relying on them?
Because now I've had to work on yet another branch for the Friendica development Release Candidate, which will at some point become the new "stable" version. But no doubt some server admins will continue running the current stable release well after the next version is released. So maintaining and updating Bookface is already a bit of work, considering it's a side-project that I can only get to when I have time. If people are cool with my dropping the Userstyles that would help.
Of course the existing Userstyles will continue to work with the current stable version of Friendica (2024.12). They haven't been updated to work with the Release Candidate and won't be if I'm retiring them. They'll still be available in my GitLab Repo though, I'm not going to delete them.

in reply to Random Penguin • • •I know I said I'd like to stop updating the Bookface Userstyles but I went ahead and did it anyway. In part because I've needed to start using them again myself over at Friendica.World, which switched to the Release Candidate and the Bookface schemes get overwritten every time the server is updated or something.
Anyway, I started by adding all the Bookface 1.8.5 server-side changes to the Userstyles for Friendica Stable:
DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Stable
And then did the same for the upcoming version:
DOWNLOAD: Userstyles for Friendica Release Candidate
Instructions on how to use the Userstyles can be found in the Bookface Wiki
