SpaceBuddy (Free) now available - Icons, PWA & Push Notifications

I've just launched SpaceBuddy, a free hub for my add-ons for FlunetCommunity. SpaceBuddy gives you one dashboard to discover, install and update my add-on Packs. Three Packs are available today, with more already visible as Coming Soon on the dashboard.

To get started, download for free, install and activate the license (required to control access to the packs and updates).

IconPack — a browsable library of 1,200+ icons, that you can easily access inside FluentCommunity's own portal/admin area

• Easily select icons when adding or editing Spaces, Courses, and Links without leaving the screen
• Outline and bold styles, copy any icon as clean inline SVG (no more emojis)
• Everything bundled — zero CDN calls, nothing loads from anyone else's server

PWAPack — turns your community into an installable app.

• Full web app manifest with icons at every size browsers and iOS actually ask for (maskable included)
• Offline page and smart caching - works for community-only or full-website if required
• Install banner, an install card in the community menu, and a step-by-step guide for iPhone, iPad and non-Chromium Android browsers
• App colours that follow your community's light and dark modes
• Options to customise the text and messages

PushPack — real web Push Notifications, no third-party provider, no fees.

• Posts, comments, @mentions, thread replies, reactions, new followers (FC Pro) and DMs
• Notifications are encrypted, direct from your website to each member's browser
• Member opt-in card in the menu plus opt in/out options in the Members notification settings page
• iOS iPhone and iPad are supported through the installed PWA App — either use PWAPack or FluentCommunity's own PWA

Compatibility with FluentCommunity 2.8 and its PWA — yes, I know how the timing looks, and I'll probably get some flack for it 😆 but I've been using PWAPack and PushPack on my own site for a while. Alongside the manifest, PWAPack uses a service worker which allows better offline support and caching, and it's what allows Push Notifications to work. The text and messages are all customisable and translatable too. PWAPack will check if FC's PWA is active and show a warning, as they would both try to provide the PWA app. An honest comment, if you prefer FC's PWA, my PushPack will happily deliver push notifications through it, so just use whichever suits you 🙂

Everything is translatable and should work as expected, I spend a lot of time testing by hand, on real sites, real phones and real members, before shipping (no AI slop!). I will always offer support for all my products (free or paid), so if you spot any errors or have any issues, please tell me and I'll fix it asap.

Some screenshots, more available on my website - full docs coming soon.
