Week of January 06 - January 13, 2026

Transcript

Welcome to Agora Next Updates for the week of January 6th through 13th.

Ten PRs merged, eleven additional commits this week.

**New Features**

Push notifications now support PWA functionality. The team integrated with the Notification Hub through secure proxy routes, added service worker support for push events, and implemented notification click handlers for deep linking. A follow-up PR improved dynamic asset handling and action button functionality.

A comprehensive badges system launched this week. The implementation includes badge APIs, delegate badge displays on cards, and dedicated badge pages showing delegates who hold specific badges.

Tax form support was added to proposals. The update includes new database schemas, metadata retrieval APIs, and tax form banners displayed across multiple proposal page types.

**User Experience Improvements**

Rich embeds received a major overhaul. Delegate and proposal embeds now use tooltip-based displays instead of inline cards, improving content flow and visual presentation.

ENS names throughout the platform now include copy-to-clipboard functionality, appearing in delegation rows and other components.

Towns color theming was fixed across fifteen components, addressing display issues in forms, discussions, metrics headers, and proposal layouts.

**Infrastructure Changes**

Forum permissions underwent significant restructuring. The team migrated to a new forum_permissions table, removed deprecated admin roles tables, and cleaned up dependent code. This affects proposal checking and forum administration functions.

A substantial schema update was merged through the demo2 PR, adding 871 lines to the database schema while removing several Docker configuration files and reorganizing Duna components.

The archive development bucket configuration was updated to point to new infrastructure.

**Additional Commits**

Remaining commits primarily reflected the merged pull requests, with minor fixes including query method updates and delegation display corrections.

Next week expect continued refinements to the notification system and potential badge feature expansions.

That's your Agora Next development summary for this week.
