Summary

A broad round of design and UX work across the site, plus fixes and mobile polish.

MSOS Hub page

  • "What you can do here": Porsche-style vertical image cards in a continuous auto-scrolling marquee with faded edges
  • "A glimpse of the space": full-bleed band of 4 connected photos
  • "A space we built together": full-bleed image banner with a blue gradient overlay
  • "Made possible by": partner logo tiles (Cultural Association + Ministry, processed from source art)
  • Copy/spacing polish, em-dashes removed, deeper final-CTA gradient so it no longer blends into the footer

Branding & partners

  • Per-language MSOS logos (SVG) in header + footer on every page
  • Partner carousel: added Ministry (wide lockup), Cultural Association, Embassy of North Macedonia, and Spletni Mojster (width-capped); de-duplicated logos within each marquee group so new ones appear sooner
  • Website build credit line (Spletni Mojster + Kristijan), clean centered text
  • Synced MK/SI footers to EN (added the missing About us + Timeline links)

Landing page

  • Swapped the blurry stock video thumbnail for the real team photo; removed the intentional hero-background blur and the video-overlay blur (kept the blue tint)

Navigation

  • Mobile menu uses 100dvh so the language selector is reachable with submenus open
  • Desktop dropdown parents no longer navigate to dead "/#" links

Language suggestion banner

  • Dismissible, browser-language based banner suggesting the matching locale; remembers the choice and waits for the cookie-consent choice so it never overlaps the consent card
  • New multilingual Gallery page (/en|mk|si/gallery/) as Pinterest-style album collage cards; each card links to its event story. Blue tint over covers, hover lift.
  • Reusable in-post "Photos from the event" block + full-screen lightbox (arrows / keyboard / swipe), shown on the Meet Student Slovenia 2024 post as the pattern
  • Gallery URLs added to sitemap with hreflang; "Gallery" added to the What We Do nav

Housekeeping

  • Removed stale *.html.bak files
  • Moved images/original/ (458 MB of raw, unused, gitignored source photos) out of the working tree to reclaim disk

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

  • Roll the in-post "Photos from the event" block out to the remaining event posts (their article structures vary, so it needs a careful per-post pass) and decide whether to trim inline photos
  • MK/SI album titles on the Gallery page are draft translations — worth a proofread

  continuous auto-scrolling marquee with edge fades (real photos placeholders)

- "Made possible by": partner logo tiles (Cultural Association + Ministry);
  processed Ministry + Cultural Association logos from source art

  final-CTA gradient so it no longer blends into the footer

Branding / partners:
- Per-language MSOS logos (SVG) in header + footer across all pages
- Partner carousel: added Ministry (wide variant), Cultural Association,
  Embassy of North Macedonia, and Spletni Mojster (width-capped); de-duplicated
  logos within each marquee group so new logos appear sooner

Footer:
- Build credit line (Spletni Mojster + Kristijan), clean centered text

Landing page:
- FAQ short CTA already avatar design (FAQ page kept its Email/Viber block)

Navigation:
- Mobile menu: use 100dvh so the language selector is reachable with submenus open
- Desktop: dropdown parents no longer navigate to dead "/#" links

  remembers choice in localStorage and waits for the cookie-consent choice
  to avoid overlapping the consent card

d085e3376a Add Gallery page (per-event albums + lightbox); remove video-thumbnail blur
- New multilingual Gallery page (en/mk/si) with 9 event albums and a
  keyboard-accessible lightbox (prev/next scoped per album)
- Reuses existing event photos; links each album to its event post
- New css/pages/_gallery.css + setupGallery() lightbox in main.js
- "Gallery" link added to the "What We Do" nav (desktop + mobile) site-wide
- Gallery URLs added to sitemap.xml with hreflang
- Landing "Every Student Has a Story": removed backdrop blur on the video
  thumbnail, kept the bluish gradient tint

Note: images/original/ (458 MB of raw source photos, gitignored + unused by
the site) moved out of the working tree to reclaim disk.

d048226daf Redesign gallery as Pinterest-style album collage cards
- Each album is now a compact collage card (1 large + 2 small photos) with a
  "+N" overlay on the last tile; multiple cards per row (responsive grid)
- Title + photo count + "Read the story" link under each card
- All album photos remain in the DOM (hidden) so the lightbox still browses
  the full set; clicking any tile opens the lightbox at that photo

24c77e6171 Gallery: distinct album cards, blue tint, hover lift, whole card links to story
- Each album is now a bordered card with a resting shadow and clear separation
- Blue brand tint over the cover photos; fades on hover so images brighten
- Whole card lifts with a stronger shadow on hover (album-level, not per image)
- Clicking anywhere on a card opens the event story page (removed the lightbox)

1f5e031be9 In-post event gallery block + lightbox; mobile polish
- Reusable "Photos from the event" grid (shows 5 thumbnails + "+N more") that
  opens a full-screen lightbox (arrows / keyboard / swipe / Esc); added to the
  Meet Student Slovenia 2024 post as the pattern
- New css/components/_lightbox.css + setupLightbox() in main.js (injects one
  shared overlay, wires any .js-lightbox grid)
- Mobile polish: gallery albums go single-column on phones, two on tablets;
  event-gallery grid 3-up on mobile; lightbox sizing/controls tuned for small
  screens

9edd6daa52 Roll out "Photos from the event" gallery to all event posts (EN/MK/SI)
- Added the reusable lightbox gallery block to all 9 event posts in every
  language (27 pages): shows 5 thumbnails + "+N more", opens the full-screen
  viewer with the whole photo set
- Inserted inside <article> (before the author footer where present) so it
  never breaks the sidebar/article flex layout
- Handled 3 SI posts that were missing their </article> tag by anchoring on
  the newsletter section instead
