I create software that empowers people online. I'm vegan btw.
This is the biggest release of Soapbox ever. What started out as a fork of Gab’s 2019 UI has now become a mainstay on the Fediverse. Originally created for the feminist platform Spinster, Soapbox now powers Truth Social, which has quickly become the largest website running Mastodon online.
With a slew of administration new features, this release builds on the stability of the v1.1 release. It brings us up to speed with Pleroma 2.3, released last month. Managing a Fediverse server can be challenging. That's why we brought the most important admin features into a convenient dashboard.
This release is so solid it makes v1.0 feel unfinished. Truly, Soapbox FE was put to the ultimate test — a real social network with 14,000 users. 185 issues were closed. Major new features were added. This update brings us up to speed with the latest Pleroma, released last month.
After 12 weeks of strenuous labor, we're excited to announce that the Soapbox Frontend is finally stable. Countless hours and late nights were spent pouring love and energy into this release, so that the familiar interface can finally run on Pleroma with minimal gotchas.
