What is Photon? in c/photon@lemmy.xylight.dev
[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I hate google as much as the next guy but ya must admit Chromium is quite fast

I know some optimization techniques and will get to it soon.

Photon uses svelte which is pretty fast. Not sure what's going on with your phone. It could be Firefox, as I have a very smooth experience with Chrome on a Google Pixel 6.

Edit: tried it out on Firefox and it's slow as heck. It could be that Firefox is just slow? It seems vger.app is fine though...

Next update will be a big optimization update.

Android app in c/photon@lemmy.xylight.dev

You can install photon as a PWA, which is basically an app. On the website, click the three dots and click "install as app"

Could I please have some clarification on PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED? in c/photon@lemmy.xylight.dev
[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 1 points 10 months ago

The server and the client render differently.

If SSR is enabled, the initial page load will be loaded by the server then sent to the client. Then, the client router will take over and load pages itself after that.

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL is the instance URL for photon to use. Sometimes, you might want the server to use something like localhost, so you can make the server have a different instance URL than the client.

Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

While I believe that this may be a hostile decision, it was inevitable. A lot of YouTube's revenue comes from ads. Use piped or something

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!

Photon v1.17.0: Embed support! (lemmy.xylight.dev)
 

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)

Should I make the dark theme less dark? (lemmy.xylight.dev)
 

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?

Photon v1.16.0: New layout! (lemmy.xylight.dev)
 

  • 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.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.xylight.dev/post/269244

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

their being dumb.

The server should group them. If two crossposts are in the same post listing, the server should combine them and add a property in the API to let us know it was combined.

Also, Lemmy has no concept of a "crosspost". All it does to check a "crosspost" is check if they have the same URL.

I'd say

spoilerrotate it 110 degrees. The "nose" is the left eye.
