May 2026: Key updates to nesquena/hermes-webui focusing on user experience stability and UI customization. Delivered a Theme Persistence Bug fix to ensure user-selected themes persist across page refreshes and reconcile with server defaults after autosave failures, preventing accidental theme resets. Introduced Nous Research UI skin with steel-blue accent and dark-mode readiness, including CSS variable updates, skin option in front-end, and server-side configuration integration. These efforts improve user satisfaction, reduce support tickets related to theme reset, and establish a scalable skinning framework for future enhancements.

March 2026 performance highlights for janhq/jan: Delivered UX and stability improvements focused on persistence, cache alignment, and retry flows. Implemented a Regenerate button for failed responses, stabilized data persistence across reloads, corrected KV cache defaults to match runtime behavior, and ensured reliable extension loading and default selections across sessions. These changes enhance reliability, user experience, and data integrity while demonstrating strong debugging, config handling, and cross-team collaboration.
