  - Conference messages — browse and read messages delivered at the conference,
  with a Spotify link to listen to audio                                          
  - Photo gallery — organized by day folders (Day 1, Day 2, etc.) with a          
  full-screen image viewer and swipe navigation

  Key conference content is now cached for offline use. The schedule, bible study 
  questions, study groups, and room allocation are automatically downloaded when  
  the app loads. Bible study and message details are cached when a user
  saves/favourites them, making them accessible without an internet connection.

  navy (#024793) in light mode and a lighter, more visible blue (#579cfa) in dark 
  mode for better contrast and readability.
