🧾 Tavrn v1.34

We said we were cooking. We didn’t tell you we were building a whole new way to experience Tavrn. Somewhere between completely rewriting our design system, optimizing asset delivery, and drinking an irresponsible amount of caffeine, we broke out of the browser entirely.

v1.34 is officially live, and it’s a massive shift. Pull up a chair. ☕🧡

🖥️ The Desktop Era is Here

Say hello to the native container. We wanted an experience that was fast, ultra-lightweight, and completely free of traditional web browser limits.

• New Windows Desktop Client Live

  • Grab it right now at tavrn.top/download
  • Currently optimized and available for Windows x64
  • High performance, zero Electron memory hogging, runs like an absolute dream

🎨 A Massive Glow-Up (Goodbye Open Sans)

We took a long look at our visual identity and decided it was time to move away from default web styles. The entire UI just got a unified, intentional redesign.

• Switched Global Brand Font to SN Pro

  • Open Sans is officially retired across the entire UI
  • SN Pro was built reading comfort and beauty
  • It just looks clean. Trust us.

• Glassy Refractions & Rounded Icons

  • Added subtle, premium glassy refractions on the edges of key UI elements
  • Shifted to a completely new, rounded icon pack for a smoother geometric look

• Centralized Icon System Architecture

  • Re-architected the asset loop so icons are managed in a single file
  • Changing an icon in the future now updates it everywhere instantly
  • Massive win for future codebase sanity

• Fresh Sidebar & Server Home Interfaces

  • Introduced brand new layout designs for the sidebar navigation
  • Redesigned the server home page (again) to make your digital living room feel like yours

💬 Chat & Expression Upgrades

Messaging on Tavrn should feel tactile and alive. We’ve added some highly requested micro-interactions to the core text experience.

• Jumbo Emojis Unleashed

  • Posting an emoji by itself now makes it much, much larger
  • Let your reactions actually breathe

• Redesigned Pinned Messages Panel

  • Finding your server’s legendary quotes is now cleaner and easier

• New Way to Mention Users

  • Streamlined user @mentions so grabbing someone’s attention is seamless

🛍️ Introducing: The Tavrn Shop

Want a way to support the platform one time without committing to a recurring monthly bill? We built a quiet, dedicated space just for that.

• One-Time Purchase Storefront Added

  • A beautifully contained modal storefront for standalone upgrades
  • Hidden away so it stays out of the way of your everyday chatting
  • Foundations laid down for server theme packs and custom subscriber styles coming very soon

📸 Media Channels & Presence Polish

We went back into the media systems and stability loops to smooth out the rough edges from our last deployment.

• Media Tab & Gallery Filtering Fixes

  • Fixed issues with media tab sizing behaving weirdly on certain resolutions
  • Patched gallery filtering so content sorts exactly how you expect it to

• Presence System Overhaul

  • Smashed a ton of bugs causing user statuses to misbehave in real time
  • No more fighting the database to accurately show if you’re online, idle, or DND

🛡️ Insights, Audio, & Admin Tweaks

• New Moderation Logs & Room Insights

  • More data, clarity, and transparency for server owners keeping their spaces safe

• Notification Sound Toggles

  • Added new toggles so you can control exactly how and when Tavrn chimes at you

• Redesigned Mobile Interfaces

  • Optimized several mobile layouts to keep everything looking sharp on small screens

• Settings & Privacy Cleanups

  • Adjusted the settings exit button behavior for a more natural user flow
  • Completely redesigned and updated our legal pages so they are transparent and easy to read

• Performance Boosts & Under-the-Hood Tweaks

  • Various general optimizations to make channel loading and navigation feel noticeably snappier

⚠️ Known Issues

At this time, there are no known major issues.

With the environment abstraction layers done and the native desktop infrastructure live, we have the perfect foundation to build out deep workspace customization next. Thank you for building your communities with us. 🧡
