Lotus release Notes v0.3.0
<br />
## 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.
## Technical updates & fixes
* 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.
