The short version: nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq06pqyn642d6tdyfk2p05m2dqa6s3hnjhj7c4rzlu4ftrajp9j5gs83gf4u (nprofile…gf4u) created the original TangerineUI for Mastodon. When she stepped back from maintaining it, nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq6r759rk6mcmesxep3h2yjhuhzzmvk8ltrunaafkfdhg4667eztdsrvcds5 (nprofile…cds5) picked it up as "Tangerine Neue," carrying it through Mastodon's big 4.6 theming overhaul so it kept working at all.
