Here's what I have planned for Photon:

• more consistent UI
• Moderation tools
• Administration tools
• Overhaul as an SPA
• fix the horrible markdown rendering

What would you like to see on Photon?

New features

• Added deletion and editing of comments
• Added post editing
• Made selfhostable with Docker
• Can now make posts with a dedicated URL rather than just an image
• Added better settings UI
• Added default sorts and feeds
• Fix comment loading issues
• Added option for user instance URLs

New navbar design!

I think the dock design looks decent, let me know your thoughts in the replies. Anyway, here's the changelist:

• Re-added CSP
  • Helps prevent any XSS vulnerabilities
• Add easier access to user and community from post actions menu
• Tweaked menus
• Added version number to user menu
• Use dicebear for default profile pictures
• Fix titles for many pages
• Use getSite().my_user instead of hacky workaround
• Fix issue where votes won't show when undefined

New update

• Login screen was updated
  • Username and instance are next to each other and you can use @ to switch between the two
  • Better form validation
• Toasts look slightly better
  • Redundant text removed
• Improved error handling

Github

Minor changes

• Added community blocking and subscribing to the sidebar.

Major version names will be based on YY/MM/DD from now on (for example, a new update on 2023, July 10th would be v23.7.10.)

This is to make knowing when a version was released easier.

Photon v23.7.10

This is a minor update with improved stability and speed improvements

Changelog

• Requests are no longer made with a CORS proxy for instances at 1.18.1+. The option is still there for backwards compatibility.
• Experiments tab for later features.
• Switch from svelte-markdown to markdown-it due to XSS issue
• Made comments more readable
• Made UI more consistent
• Made community sidebars visible in mobile through a button
• Add private messages to inbox
• Add comment and post upvote ratios/percentages
• Large speed improvements and optimizations

First stable release!

Photon is now stable enough for people to be able to use. It's a sleek Lemmy client where basically the only selling point is that it looks decent

I'd recommend logging in with an alt account for now, as I might freak something up that causes your credentials to leak. That's basically impossible to have happen, but better safe than sorry.

What features should be priority right now?
