Photon v1.29.4 - Improvments to navigation
Photon v1.29.4 - Improvments to navigation
New stuff
- Revert the positions of most navigation buttons (Home on left, profile on right)
- Add "adaptive" options to dock settings
- This will make the dock's position (top, bottom, floating or not) change based on your screen size (it is now the default)
- So on mobile, you'll have a bottom, floating dock but on desktop a top panel
Fixes
- Add autofocus to search bar #319
- Don't hide titles on iframes #317
- Add refresh button to inbox page #313
- Dock covers sidebars as a top panel
- Add maxlength to password form #312

I too will test this tmr morning! Will come back with feedback 🌻
Update: This is much better, although I would suggest having a home-icon inside the white logo, it might not be super intuitive that it is a home button(?). Also the notification number seem to be a little off. Overall I am happy to have this change!
On a side note: we have a local instance here: https://photon.slrpnk.net which I recommend to use over 3rd party hosted ones due password security considerations.
Thanks for pointing that out, I went with the phtn.app as I thought it was some official one? And because I could add addtional accounts. But I barely used any other accounts so Ill shoot back over to the warmth of slrpnk 🌻
Generally there is not much wrong with using the official version, but since Lemmy sadly does not yet support modern app authentication methods like Oauth2, it is better to use 1st party hosted frontends as this minimizes the risk of your password leaking.
phtn.app is the official one and will receive all updates instantly, so it might actually be more secure.
