Huge thanks to everyone using nano-protein-viewer!

Your feedback shaped this release:

• Added pLDDT color mode
• Option to remove water molecules easily

Keep the suggestions coming 🙏

Molview also supports grid layouts for viewing multiple structures side by side and smooth transitions between single and grid view.

Perfect for comparing models or conformations at a glance ;)

Molview inherits all the core features from nano-protein-viewer:

• Color modes (chain, secondary, etc.)
• Surface & illustrative rendering
• Interactive control with optional side panel

No need to dig through docs — everything’s right in the widget :)
