 We use FontAwesome. If you can use a fa-icon (instead of text) use a fa-icon. Always strive to keep the UI modern, beautiful, and minimalistic. Shy away from using too many colors, borders, glow, and animations.
 
-Never write "Loading" - always show a spinner, and just a spinner.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.6.8] - 2025-10-14
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated favicon and app icons to purple theme
+  - Replaced all 8 icon files (apple-touch-icon, favicon variants, and Android Chrome icons)
+  - New purple color scheme for better brand recognition
+
+## [0.6.7] - 2025-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- Skeleton loading placeholders using `react-loading-skeleton` package
+  - Replaced loading spinners with skeleton loaders across all major components
+  - BookmarkList, Explore, Me, ContentPanel, and HighlightsPanel now use skeleton placeholders
+  - Theme-aware skeleton animations matching app color scheme
+- Nostr identifier parsing and rendering in highlight comments
+  - Support for `nostr:npub`, `nostr:nprofile`, `nostr:naddr`, `nostr:note`, `nostr:nevent`
+  - Clickable links to profiles and articles from highlight comments
+  - Shortened display format for better readability
+- Visibility filters for explore page content
+  - Toggle filters for nostrverse, friends, and own content
+  - Icon buttons with color coding matching highlight levels
+  - Filter state persists across tab switches
+
+### Changed
+
+- Loading states now use skeleton placeholders instead of spinners for more polished UX
+- Removed incremental loading spinner from explore page refresh
+  - Pull-to-refresh indicator provides refresh state feedback
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Type error in `HighlightItem.tsx` using `React.ReactElement` instead of `JSX.Element`
+- Me page skeleton loading now handles undefined `viewingPubkey` gracefully
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Updated FontAwesome rule to prefer skeleton placeholders over loading text or spinners
+
+## [0.6.6] - 2025-10-14
+
+### Added
+
+- Profile fetching and caching for explore page
+  - Automatically fetches kind:0 metadata for all blog post authors
+  - Stores profiles in event store for instant access across app
+  - Rebroadcasts profiles to local/all relays per user settings
+  - Fixes "Unknown" author names by proactively caching profiles
+- Rich content rendering in highlight comments
+  - URLs automatically detected and rendered as clickable links
+  - Image URLs (jpg, png, gif, webp, etc.) render as inline images
+  - Images lazy-load with responsive sizing and rounded borders
+  - Links open in new tab with security attributes
+
+### Changed
+
+- Hide citation in highlights sidebar when viewing article
+  - Citation removed from sidebar since all highlights are from same source
+  - Citation still shown in Explore and Me pages where context is needed
+  - Reduces visual clutter and redundant information
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Blog posts with far-future publication dates no longer appear in explore
+  - Filter excludes posts with dates more than 1 day in future
+  - Allows 1 day tolerance for clock skew between systems
+  - Prevents spam posts with unrealistic dates (e.g., "53585 years from now")
+- Layout breaks from long URLs in highlight comments
+  - Added word-wrap, overflow-wrap, and word-break CSS properties
+  - Set min-width: 0 to allow flex child to shrink properly
+  - Long URLs now wrap correctly instead of causing horizontal overflow
+- Profile fetching implementation
+  - Use eventStore.add() directly for immediate profile storage
+  - Use tap() operator to process events as they arrive
+  - Correct TypeScript types and dependency array
+
