MoLOS Lead Developer

We're excited to announce the release of MoLOS v0.3.0, featuring a completely redesigned welcome flow with integrated module activation. This release transforms the onboarding experience, making it easier than ever for users to customize their MoLOS installation from day one.

What's New in v0.3.0​

Enhanced Welcome Flow​

The welcome flow has been completely redesigned to include module selection as a core step in the onboarding process. New users can now:

  • Browse available modules with detailed descriptions
  • Preview module features and capabilities
  • Select which modules to activate during setup
  • Get instant feedback on module compatibility
  • Start with a fully configured MoLOS installation

Welcome Flow Module Selection

Bulk Module Activation​

We've introduced a powerful bulk activation API that allows users to activate multiple modules simultaneously:

// API endpoint for bulk activation
POST /api/modules/activate
{
  "modules": [
    "molos-tasks",
    "molos-notes",
    "molos-calendar"
  ]
}

// Response
{
  "success": true,
  "activated": [
    "molos-tasks",
    "molos-notes",
    "molos-calendar"
  ],
  "failed": []
}

Branch Support​

Modules can now be activated from specific branches, enabling users to test development versions:

# Activate a module from a specific branch
npm run modules:activate -- --branch develop molos-tasks

# Activate from tag (default behavior)
npm run modules:activate -- --tag v1.0.0 molos-tasks

Module System Enhancements​

Improved Module Discovery​

The module selection interface now provides rich information about each module:

  • Module name and description
  • Version information and changelinks
  • Feature highlights
  • Resource requirements
  • Compatibility notes
  • Community ratings and reviews

Real-Time Validation​

Module activation includes real-time validation to ensure compatibility:

  • Dependency checking
  • Version conflict detection
  • Resource requirement validation
  • Security scanning
  • Permission verification

User Experience Improvements​

Step-by-Step Onboarding​

The new welcome flow guides users through each step:

  1. Account Setup: Create your MoLOS account
  2. Profile Configuration: Set up your profile and preferences
  3. Module Selection: Choose which modules to activate
  4. Initial Configuration: Configure selected modules
  5. Dashboard Tour: Overview of your personalized dashboard

Smart Recommendations​

Based on user preferences and use cases, MoLOS now recommends modules:

  • Task management for productivity-focused users
  • Note-taking for knowledge workers
  • Calendar integration for project management
  • Custom suggestions based on industry and role

Technical Improvements​

Module Build Simplification​

The module build process has been significantly simplified:

# Build all modules
npm run modules:build

# Build specific module
npm run modules:build molos-tasks

# Watch mode for development
npm run modules:build -- --watch

Linking Stores and Components​

Modules can now link their stores and components directories for better integration:

// modules/molos-tasks/vite.config.ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [sveltekit()],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      $stores: '../../modules/molos-tasks/src/stores',
      $components: '../../modules/molos-tasks/src/components'
    }
  }
});

Comprehensive Testing​

All modules now include comprehensive test suites:

# Run module tests
npm run test:modules

# Run specific module tests
npm run test:modules molos-tasks
