OG Miiverse Theme 2: Electric Boogaloo

Welp, Pretendo doesnt want to do it, but you know who does? Me. I am willingly going to waste my time to once and for all get the orginal Miiverse theme on Juxt. I know at least some of you may like it. After some research and searching, I have found the dumped Wii U Portal version of the OG Miiverse UI. I am working on a system that can implement Inkay into this UI, If any programmers/devs would like to give advice or assist with the project please reply, If you are simply interested with the project please share thoughts in the replies. I dont know how it will go. I know I requested a cancel for the topic at first but I dont want to give up. Legally, it is only a private hosting service, It is feasible.

If it doesnt work, I am sorry.

It’s better to just make a SDCafiine mod to replace the system files, Pretendo probably wouldn’t accept the project for copyright reasons, but you can still make it independent i think, Anyway good luck.

isn’t the OG miiverse copyrighted? Since Nintendo owns miiverse they own the rights and looks to it?

Miiverse has been shut down for years, Nintendo probably wouldn’t care about a social network they don’t even maintain.

I don’t personally believe that Nintendo is that bothered as long as it doesn’t impact sales of their latest generation of consoles (or last generation in some cases), but it’s just not a risk Pretendo is willing to take.

Good Idea! I am not planning to admit the project to Pretendo, simply just making it a private project. I will most likely end up using SDCafiine For this project.
Thanks!

Yes, The term Miiverse is out of patent (See all info posted by the Pretendo Operator in my first post on the topic.) Yet, the actual platform is still regulated. By law using these assets in your own home without making them entirely public as a service is legal.

I guess. It would be GREAT if the patents were dropped, yet Nintendo has decided otherwise. Regardless the project must go on!

Thank You Very Much.

Legally, I’m in a red zone if I make this public. I think I’ll keep it as a private project for now.

Update:

I have messed around with the themes and screwed up, yet I have made some progress and restarting.


i made the og theme and more its still in beta

OH MY GOD! Is the repo public? I would love to access it! Thank you!

Let me tell you something:

1.- You dont need programmers if you are trying to port the original Miiverse design into Juxt, its literally just CSS, you can just copy and paste the style on the Juxt CSS and mess with it. CSS isnt considered a programming language and its not complicated, its just a stylesheet anyway.

I also think a lot of people have access to arians Miiverse HTML dumps from back in the day, its not a big deal, most of the HTML, the entire CSS and JS were archived a lot of times anyway.

2.- I hope you mean “implementing this UI into Inkay” as changing the URL of the Miiverse portal to another one/your localhosted Juxt or anything, because again, Miiverse is entirely web based, its not an applet with like, moddable .bflyt/.anim files that you can mod, its entirely made of HTML, JS, CSS and server side logic.

The only “easy” way you can do a theme for this, is to set up Charles Proxy or your proxy of preference with your Wii U, add the Charles cert to the Inkay rootca for Miiverse (basically, rebuild Inkay but modifying the rootca adding your Charles one) and setting your proxy to locally load a CSS from your computer/other domain instead of the default CSS Juxt loads.

This is very complicated for a normal user, and even if you manage to do the theme successfully, i doubt anyone is going to do so much complicated stuff just for it.

What does this mean?

Making a theme for Juxt to look like OG Miiverse is very like possible, but dont expect it to look 1:1, Juxt changes some of the HTML structure from the original Miiverse HTML, and the CSS might have side effects, looking a bit off.

You can port the CSS from Miiverse HTML dumps and try to merge it with the current Juxt CSS, i just say from myself, its not going to look the exact same, very similar, sure, but not the same.

And even then, you still need a proxy and a rebuilt version of Inkay with the changes i mentioned before, i doubt the average user here is intersted in setting up all of that, as i said before, just for this theme.

Just wait for “rverse next” the new project from rverse, its not going to look exactly like Miiverse, but it might be somewhat promising.

that is true but the message and more in the side i cant find that file

Thank You For Your Response,

I understand CSS is not exactly a programming language (that is a bit vague, anything that sends computed tasks through technological functions is a programming language.) , I simply cannot find the root Juxt CSS. Yes I do mean implementing this UI into Inkay, Inkay is the service, the theme is the UI, I just messed up. Technically Juxt/Miiverse do function as applets, they are programs with Sockets and Class Strings compiled into a lump of functions, yet are not formatted as them, it is editable as an applet. I have set up a basic Charles Proxy, and am working on editing the certificate as you stated. I know it will not look exactly the same, I am simply trying to make my wish come true. Rv3/Next is coming, I understand yet by the looks of its progress, not soon.

P.S: How do I setup Aquamarine Inkay Patches, I belive you were a developer on it right? Some advice on setup would be great. I tried to sign in with multiple fails and it has locked me out.

P.S.S: What is that browser image with the UI, would I be able to access it?


ummm how do i read this css

Is your OG Miiverse theme Repo public? Thanks!
