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

can you mark a NSFW post as NSFW please ty

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

May I ask what’s “clunky” about Photon?

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!

Don’t worry about being offensive, I was just wondering if there was something I was missing. Thanks for the feedback! I’ll look into it.

What features is Photon missing? It has feature parity with the official UI.

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!
