The celebration of Pride Month is highlighted through various posts expressing love and support for the LGBTQ+ community. Messages emphasize the enduring power of love and the importance of recognition during this significant month.


Internationalization Updates

A fix has been implemented to localize the display of size increase/decrease percentages. The update utilizes the Intl.NumberFormat API to ensure correct formatting across different languages, addressing a common issue with hard-coded percentage values in the UI.
