Xylight (photon dev)

Idk but Microsoft does their modern UIs really well. just don’t open the properties menu or anything there’s nothing there I promise

I hate this feature but if that UI is real it’s beautiful

You can change it back to a top panel in settings, any major change visible immediately will probably have an option to revert it

Ya I noticed that shreddit uses a similar layout to photon

Ya I use the same code for markdown as lemmy-ui and it has a separate markdown setting for titles so that headers, lists, images, etc don’t work in titles

^-^

Yea if you’re logged in to lemmy-ui and then photon is put on the domain of lemmy-ui then it will see the leftover cookie and create a photon account

you have to enable it manually, though

If you want to use an account that’s not on lemmy.world, you can’t do that on Lemmy.world’s instance. The official alexandrite instance let’s you use any instance.

Disable dark reader on sites that already support dark theme, as it ruins the colors.

Videos aren’t played inline for reasons I’ll make a sticky about in the photon community.

However, when you open a post page, it’ll play a video if it detects it.

I’m not stopping anytime soon!

Correct. It is possible to self host it though, so you can have ultimate trust in one you compile yourself after reading the source code if you go long distances for that.

Even if we logged all requests (we don’t) we could publish a version that did and the ones on lemmy.world and stuff would be vulnerable immediately.

Requests are not proxied (except image uploads due to a CORS issue)

You can tell in the network tab that requests are made directly to the API.

My post was sarcastic, don’t worry

Boost is quite a good client.

photon is an obvious 3-day hack? ☹️

Photon supports a PWA!

That isn’t the point + there is a karma system. Your total score is calculated, just not shown.

Try the new compact view. Looks a lot better.

You can also use your system’s back button. I’m not sure where I’d put a back button.

Photon supports automatically replying/messaging with the reason it was removed, with support for custom templates.
