All-New Zimo Web Update – November 2023

  • Zimo Web has been rewritten from the ground up. It now utilizes the Next.js App Router which optimizes components by turning most of them into React Server Component. In short, this brings considerable optimization to load speed. The rewrite also cleans up duplicated code and unnecessary logic, which should make the codebase much cleaner and easier to work with.
  • Themes! Color palettes and backgrounds are no longer restricted to the page they are in. Users are now able to change the theme of the page they are in simply by clicking a new setting entry in the menu panel. The update also comes with two new dark themes: Midnight and Glitter.
