There has been talk that the Nimiq front-end team is currently working on revamping the safe.Nimiq.com user-interface design with work on the Nimiq.Community website following suit. For those seeking a style sheet for the Nimiq brand, community manager Richy mentions a redesign for Nimiq to unify and form a coherent experience.

Following the launch of the Nimiq official mining pool source code last week, there are number of pools both accessible through the official Nimiq miner as well as third party pool miners from Sushi Pool and Porky Pool (among others found in the Nimiq discord).
