  • I actually updated photon after this and fixed all that i saw was wrong, still waiting for it to be updated :/

  • Other instances have updated just fine, the most common issue being nginx header buffers being too low.

  • I contacted them about it.

  • hello fellow client dev

  • I hate safari because there's so many random bugs and I can't test it because I don't own any apple products. I think GNOME Web runs on the same engine, so I'll try testing on that and fixing it.

  • This is probably a bug. Are you on safari?

  • I don't understand what this means. There are no redirect calls at all in photon other than for /comment urls, and certain layouts.

  • You have not seen some photon instances lol. lemdro.id's admins have been really busy, so I don't blame them for anything. they've also been early supporters from the start of photon.

    Here's a list of ancient photon instances i've seen:

    reddthat

    lemy.lol (so old that it literally crashes on load)

    programming.dev

    lemmings.world

    I really dislike when people host photon on their own stuff, and I prefer people use phtn.app. There's greater chance for error and old versions can give people a negative view of the client.

  • Hey, I'm the Photon dev. I'd like to know which parts Photon incorrectly displayed, so far I only see tables rendering incorrectly. I'll have this fixed soon.

    Update: fixed table displays, pushed to main

    Could this be updated now? 🥺 (you can test here)

  • What's the origin of this photo? It looks really cool.

  • It's very early, once it's partially usable I'll publish the github

  • I want to start fresh, and this project will not use terminology from lemmy or mastodon specifically which will throw people off if I replaced photon.

  • Svelte (the JS framework I use) is releasing a really big v5 update which adds a lot of cool things and basically changes everything. It warrants a rewrite since I can make photon really fast with svelte 5, and the old codebase was limiting me in a lot of ways.

    The biggest feature of this rewrite will be support for mastodon AND Lemmy, and thanks to the way I'm writing these adaptors, can support Sublinks, PixelFed, and almost anything if I write an adaptor for it.

    I'm considering making this an entirely separate project (you might see it on my GitHub soon!) and maintaining photon separately, because I want to design this new one as an SPA for speed.

  • Photon can be installed as a PWA if that's what you want. Photon v2 will take advantage of native features (👀)

  • Is the orange intentional?

  • Dang, I like this a lot, it might end up as a default theme

  • And, what if it had a glassy look by blurring what's behind?

  • Can't you just plug your phone straight in and transfer the file? I still prefer KDE connect though.

  • I don't really see many benefits of this since it seems to take the same space as a normal laptop
