Huge improvement for Halloy coming with the next release. Below you see the difference when running in debug mode. Now vs before. We now only load the amount of messages that fits in a buffer view port and then lazily grow from there instead of a fix (high) number.

is live - find the right theme for Halloy or submit your own to the community.

I bought a new domain for Halloy.

Recreated Halloy as a "dummy" component in Svelte. The theme page will have a grid, and each component in the grid takes a theme. For parsing a theme we use a wasm binding to our theme-crate in halloy-repo. This way we don't have to redo the encoding/decoding in TS.

Inspired by sites like

I’ll love to see community made themes for Halloy, so I’ve begun working on a dedicated webpage where you can browse community submitted themes. Building it in svelte.
