My profile picture is some random sunset. No idea where it's from or where I got it.
Strange. I find that sh.reddit was significantly faster than the original new reddit. It also uses a framework that is more close to native html than whatever they were using before.
Navbar customizability was reduced because it caused the navbar to require tons of javascript calculations, rather than being a nice efficient css.
- Id like to redesign the layout of the navbar, but last time I did this people didn't like it. I'll try and experiment more with that.
- I have removal reply templates, so sure, I'll try and add them to application deny templates.
- That'll probably be in the final 2.0 release, again this is not the true release yet
I think that's an issue in old versions too, mostly due to the virtualizer (for performance). I'll look into it
We can teleport 7 inches, but there is no cool down specified.
- Go outside.
- Teleport 7 inches at a time into the sky, at such a high rate it's nearly instant.
- Teleport 7 inches at a time to whatever location you want, at such a high rate it's nearly instant.
Inconsistent rounding and font size is my bet
I've been following Google's material 3 since its release. There's pretty good examples of it, like the calculator app, but half of google's own apps don't follow their own guidelines, and they keep making changes to stray away and make their designs even uglier. Gboard was one of the final hopes for google's design. this better be a bug or something
I'll need to implement something for multi API support once Lemmy 1.0 releases, and I could probably add basic mbin support there when that happens
It means that design choices and features I implement will follow what I believe to be optimal. I still try to consider what the users think, but the overall organization will prioritize my thought. It sounds narcissistic, but other software often follows this pattern.
It's why Photon will rarely implement random features if I deem it to be something left to another tool, because my opinion is that it should remain simple unless the feature will significantly improve the user experience.
I'm glad you enjoy it :)
I've been focused lately on changing some UI aspects of Photon to please both sides, compact mode is now comparable to old reddit (while looking good) and it's the default. People who like them can switch to the cozy interface on their own.
Im an exmo who has never heard of that. Wtf?!?
Half the time I post a comment trying to contribute in some way but get downvotes so I'm scared to post any comments.
Additionally, I never post news articles I see because if the content of the news is bad (eg a news article about something bad google is doing), Ive seen others and myself get downvotes
When rendering the post preview Photon cuts off the rest of the text at around character 300 for performance reasons. Part of the spoiler got caught in it causing it to not be valid markdown. I'm not sure if I'll try to fix this.
I mean that's why it's "mildly infuriating", it doesn't enrage me as much as Twitter requiring a sign in for the whole site.
I removed it because I don't want my app to necessarily depend or be associated with any specific centralized external source, like MBFC. By adding it to my app, I'm implicitly supporting its use, which wasn't necessarily my goal.
I don't think presence of alternative UIs is a good reason to not recommend an instance. Voyager, alexandrite, and Photon, all have independent web apps (vger.app, alexandrite.app, phtn.app, respectively)
Pretty much sums up my life
I need an inspirational title for my autobiography
Photon 2.0.0 betas are out
Can't reproduce, is this on desktop or mobile?
I guess this is why it's a beta and not a full release.
