[Features] More tribe customization options

Sure, there is the banner and tribe icon. But, the whole site looks the same no matter where you go. Reddit had that ghastly CSS editor, but it worked. (for the most part; sometimes)

I'm not saying it has to be a CSS editor, but it would add some community-creativity to the site and tribes.

    I think having the CSS locked is a good thing, having a similar experience across all tribes is a good thing, I do however think that the sidebar should have more options for customization.

    Except for the inability to April prank people I like that CSS can't be changed. The banner and flag are plenty personalisation, no sub looks ugly and the admins can improve as they wish without warning weeks in advance so they don't break my CSS.

      I can agree that banner(even though I have issues with it) and flag are good, but feel like a color scheme selection would be nice as well. Let's be honest, black and white everything is a tad boring. It looks great for a business website, but what about the more creative tribes, shouldn't they be able to have more creative colors? Or maybe a different style selection chart? Something so not all places look the same.

        Maybe a palette option could be nice. Or maybe just asking for primary, secondary, and tertiary colour.

        But I'm most definitely against CSS, it impedes the admin ability to improve the site because it breaks so many people's tribes. It's a big problem on reddit which we should not duplicate.

        Also, I don't think it should be a priority at the moment.

          I understand, like I was saying a palette or color option would be great. Also, I didn't like the CSS on Reddit either, change one thing and something else could break, bleh.

          Definitely shouldn't be priority, but this is a tribe for ideas, so it is fun to brainstorm.

            I was thinking about the time of the admins. If CSS makes the other features 5 to 10 times harder to write than we lost on all the extra features they could have written in that time. It's just a big anchor on their development velocity.

            But if I can make a colour scheme on paletton, punch those numbers in my tribe settings and having it painted, then cool.

            Reddit kinda get away with it by almost never adding new features but when they do, it's trouble every time.
