coming soon (if i dont give up on this)

you can make cursed abominations like this

• fix: main content is off center by a few pixels
• feat: show community card in the sidebar
  • Found a decent way to do this!
• feat: improve community page performance
  • I removed a few unnecessary requests
• feat: specify admin additions and removals in modlog
• feat: filter by user in modlog
• feat: (for admins) filter by moderator in modlog

You can now automatically generate a title from a URL! Click the book icon after entering a URL to pull the embed title and body from that webpage!

A lot of changes have been made recently, unfortunately some of my posts weren't federated to other instances correctly :/

That's been fixed now, though.

Anyway, here's the changes:

• fix: failing image uploads
• feat: add embed support
• feat: add support for unproxied image uploads (available in lemmy v0.19.0 instances)

I've seen a few people complain about this (which if you dislike something about an app, make feedback!)

I've been thinking this too, but got used to it. The default tailwind colors are here. Photon, for the site background in dark theme, uses zinc at level 950. 900 is too light, should I change the background color to something in between?

• feat: new, centered layout
  • all of the posts are in the center rather than the center of the right of the screen!
    • If that sounded confusing, that's what I tried to fix :p
  • community things were moved from a sidebar to a ... button
• fix: Lemmy v0.19.0 dates were broken

I'm still wondering what i should put on the right of the layout. Let me know of any ideas!

If you have any suggestions, even minor, let me know in a comment.

Photon v1.15.0 comes with Lemmy v0.19.0 support, and is backwards compatible with v0.18.0 instances.

• feat: add v0.19.0 support
• feat: add seasonal logo colors
  • I plan to add some colors on hover depending on the month. Since this month is spooky month, it's an orange to purple gradient!
• design: make search buttons look much better
• misc: fix some signup issues

It looks like v0.19.0 support will keep photon compatible with v0.18.0. I just need to send both query parameter and a header, so that v0.19.0 will accept the header and v0.18.0 will accept the parameter. I thought v0.19.0 would deny the query parameter, returning an error. Thankfully, the Lemmy devs were sane.

Photon has had a lot of progress made recently. From a new design system to becoming a drop in replacement, changes are made constantly.

This is not everything that has changed, but there's a lot.

I've added the following:

• password resets
• verify email routes
• option to change password when logged in
• a warning message when your session expires

Photon can now be used as a default UI with (hopefully) no issue!

However, Photon cannot setup a new instance currently. This only works on instances that have already been setup with lemmy-ui, you can swap it out.

v1.15.0 will add a UI to do this.

instance admins, a docker image and setup instructions are available here. It is recommended you set the PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED env var to true to let search engines crawl the site.
