Photon is a web UI for Lemmy with a sleek design.

Photon v0.4.35

• There's now a markdown toolbar, and you can put images in it!
  • From now on, all updates will have screenshots associated with the posts.

• There's more sorting options!
  • A common complaint was that there weren't all the available sorting options. They weren't there because I couldn't find a way to make them look good. Then I realized, why not just use a dropdown?

Thanks for all the support with Photon! You can report any bugs or request features on the GitHub.

Photon looks like shit on mobile, basically Walmart Sync. These are the only things I can think of:

• Use a better font instead of system font (Cantarell)
• Move sort options up into the navbar

Photon now has a better desktop UI!

Photon is an alternative web UI for lemmy with a sleek design.)

When I initially made Photon, it was meant to be an alternative to lemmy-ui, meant for both desktop and mobile.

A lot of people were complaining that it was too small and said it only made sense for mobile, which looking back was correct at the time (taken from old github readme):

Well, I'm happy to report that the desktop UI takes a lot more advantage of the screen space now.

You can:

• Quickly switch accounts from the sidebar
• Hop to the communities you're moderating
• Look through your subscribed communities
• Resize the sidebar to your liking
• and more!

(You may have to wait a few hours before this domain works)

Photon is now accessible from phtn.app instead of the horrible photon.xylight.dev!

I plan on using this domain to death from now on

This instance doesn't actually exist yet. I was wondering if I should make my own public instance with the domain lemmy.tips.

Currently this is hosted on lemmy.xylight.dev which is a horrible name.

Or should I instead buy the phtn.app domain for Photon instead of hosting a new instance? Money is tight, I can only pick one.

You can now have multiple accounts at once!

Click the main menu (on the circle on the top right), and hit "switch accounts" (it'll say "Login" if you have no accounts). You'll be able to add accounts and switch between them on the sidebar or through that page.
