Feature Suggestions: Minimalist UI Options & Native Custom Pages

Hello Fluent Community Team,

I have been thoroughly enjoying Fluent Community. As I build with the platform, I would like to propose a couple of important ideas to further enhance the user experience.

1. Optional Minimalist Interface & Rethinking "Public" Boards

While Fluent Community offers an impressive array of features and details, some use cases require a heavily simplified, minimalist navigation.

• The Issue: Currently, the system assumes a "join/register" structure for all boards. Because of this, members can see a list of registered users, and these joined boards populate on user profiles. Even if we toggle certain modules on or off, the residual features tied to board registration keep the interface looking unnecessarily complex.
• The Suggestion: If a board is set to fully public, the concept of "joining" or "registering" shouldn't exist at all. Removing this requirement for public boards would make the platform much more intuitive and approachable for everyday users.

2. Seamless, Native Integration for Custom Pages

I spent a considerable amount of time comparing Fluent Community with SureDash. Although Fluent Community is overwhelmingly superior in its overall completeness, the biggest reason I ever considered SureDash was how naturally it embeds standard custom pages.

• The Issue: While integrating custom pages is possible in Fluent Community, applying the FC template slightly alters the UI, which disrupts a completely seamless user experience.
• The Suggestion: It would be incredibly helpful to have a more native approach to integrating custom pages, allowing them to blend perfectly with the rest of the environment without any awkward UI distortion.

I would greatly appreciate hearing the development team’s thoughts on these points. Thank you for your continuous hard work!
