Photon

The Svelte 5 migration has progressed enough that I think it's safe to release betas now.

Photon has been fully localized and you can translate it to your native language now! (will not be released until v1.30)

If I'm viewing eg. This post: https://phtn.app/post/lemm.ee/57383020

Upon going back to the feed page from a post page, the feed tends to load in at a different point (higher up) than where it was before. This results in a lot of repetitive scrolling.

Hey, I noticed that the expand/collapse button tends to block text sometimes. Is there any way that it could be made transparent when hovering the mouse over it? Also, the hover text should say 'collapse' when the text has already been expanded.

Hey 👋

See big red box on image attached (collapse as in the feature on reddit)

I dont see any posts in this forum, is this a me issue? (sorry am new)

It's been on a separate URL for a while now but it is now on phtn.app.

that's it

So the overall layout won't change, and if you're using default navigation settings, you'll barely notice any difference.

I use Lemmy for bigger news and all that, but sometimes I like to showcase little things I've done in Photon or tweaked. Maybe even hold polls there.

Photon I feel is a representation of my general ability to do software development, as it's my biggest project. I'm disappointed in myself for how it's been going so far suddenly.

Basically, title. It started happening a few weeks ago. Sometimes it happens right away and freezes the whole DE, more often it happens after scrolling for a while. I know nothing about .js so let me know how I could help diagnose it.

It seems like contrary to Lemmy-UI, Photon does not display the user supplied post language anywhere and also has no way to set the post language in the UI. Nor does it have the profile setting to set language visibility.

*Approximately **70%* complete

I used to ask these a lot during Photon's early development, but I decided to do one now.

Hi,

this security issue can only be triggered by users fault, but it's up to the UI designer to prevent user mistakes causing potential credential leaks.

Vercel has been a PITA for a few reasons I won't go into, and I eventually reached a usage limit that made the site unusuable. Cloudflare pages has no usage limits, so I have switched to that. Nothing different should be noticable, except that initial loads might be slightly faster.

Just a few moments ago learned about phtn.app, as I was using photon.lemmy.world. I'm trying to use it with KDE's Falkon web browser, my daily web browser in desktop, which is based on chromium (though as far as I know it's not cutting edge chromium).

I don't see how I can do that. There is no way to access the sidebar that's visible on desktop when I'm on mobile.

verification for lemmy apps: LemmyApps/#2

The readme talks about docker. I’m not a docker user. I did a git clone when I was on a decent connection. ATM I’m not on a decent connection. The releases page lacks file sizes. And MS Github conceals the size:

Photon has a feature on links which gets data from Media Bias Fact Check to determine its media bias. However, I've seen controversy on lemmy.world's bot with this, and I'm not sure if this is the best place to get the data from.

A lot of admins trying to host photon have been unable to after i switched from Node to Bun server. Bun is a newer server that is significantly faster, but it seems to have caused issues when hosting for weird reasons when people try to host it.

UPDATE! Fewer than 15% of Lemmy Apps display posts accurately

Photon, on mobile browser, seems to “snap” to the beginning of each post when scrolling. Is there a way to turn this feature off?

When I changed the default theme I saw someone say I should name the classic theme "AMOLED". Apparently, the theme was so dark to a lot of people that it appeared black! I guess my designer's eye and working on photon for over a year made me not notice this.

So I'm looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that's FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).

TL;DR: nonstandard community and user links should work properly now, when people waste their time by doing [[email protected]](https://instance.url/c/community) instead of [email protected]
