Awesome! I'll update the lemdro.id version this evening :)

This looks promising, but is it just me or is there no option to install it as a PWA? I can create a shortcut from the browser's main menu, but the shortcut just opens up a new tab in the browser.

I have no experience with PWAs, but I'll try and implement a PWA for this app soon. It's meant to be more of a better Web UI though.

Thanks for considering! I'm currently using it on my Fold 4, and I like it better than all the other solutions out there - the main reason being how left-handed friendly it is, and having actual buttons for actions, instead of relying on gestures. A PWA would be really appreciated - at least by us lefties and foldable/tablet users!

I was surprised by how well it works on mobile considering how excellent it appears on desktop!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

yep. Buttons over Gestures gang! For me, gestures feel choppy & laggy on the webapps that I've tried.

Update: PWA was added!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, they're very welcome. Thanks for all your work on this!

Very nice! I'm self hosting Photon right now and it couldn't be easier. Keep up the great work!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I tried out my own self-host and the docker was super simple!
