Questions and Answers

Here's a list of general questions and answers which don't belong in any of the other pages. For topic-specific questions, see the relevant topic's page.

Who maintains FrontierNav?

FrontierNav is developed by Jahed. It's a wiki platform so the data is maintained by the community.

How do I contact FrontierNav's owner?

You can contact support via email. Alternatively, for public communication, use the relevant Discussions page on the website.

Can you add a feature for me?

Usually, yes, if it fits with FrontierNav's vision. Just let me know. But there is a large pile of feature requests to get through (over 300 as of writing). This means new features will be prioritised depending on how complicated it is, how often it is requested and how interested I am in it.

How often is FrontierNav updated?

FrontierNav uses continuous deployment so it is updated regularly. You can get news of what has changed by following the project on Patreon. The website's data is also updated continuously whenever the community contributes data, like a wiki.

Does FrontierNav have an offline mode?

Not at the moment. To provide an offline mode, you will need to download all of the scripts, data, texts, images and videos in advance. That's a lot of data to download. This may be solved in the future with peer-to-peer networking.

Can I download FrontierNav as an app?

You can install FrontierNav as a web app. To do this, visit the website, then open your web browser's menu and choose "Install", "Install app", "Add to homescreen" or something along those lines.

A standalone native app is not planned. Maintaining a native app on top of the website is a lot of work.

Does FrontierNav have a light theme?

Not at the moment. A lighter theme may be added in the future, but it is not a priority. Supporting both light and dark themes is a lot of work when adding and re-designing features. It doubles the amount of testing to ensure colours are working well together.
