v0.5.0 Initial Release: Profiles, Directory, and Search

Summary

This release builds out the core scaffolding that later versions rely on. DReps got real identity with profile pages, an identicon foundation, self hosted avatars in R2, voting history, and per DRep voting stats, while the new DReps directory table lets you browse everyone, see voting power concentration, and delegate straight from the list. Governance action detail pages were redesigned around tabs, computed voting information, DRep positions, on chain data, and related actions, and the homepage hero gained a Governance Actions CTA with a live newest action card. Discovery improved a lot with global Cmd+K search backed by D1 FTS5, a known proposer registry with inline identity, and per type Open Graph images. The forum side picked up post reactions and one level reply threading, the composer gained a Markdown toolbar with readable rationale rendering, and sync got sturdier with atomic rate limiting, D1 pagination, and better handling of slow Koios responses.

Welcome to https://dreptalk.com. For your convenience, there is also a preprod testnet deployment running on https://preprod.dreptalk.com.
