I did. In the long run it's better for me to write my own since it's easier to update and debug

I'm definitely gonna have to write my own virtualizer. I tried using Tanstack Virtual but it definitely has too many issues with my setup to work well.

  1. If Photon hangs on load and the screen never goes away, that means its' crashed or it's taking ages for the server to load the posts. I think it's a rendering error, do you have infinite scroll off? If so, rc5 should have fixed that.
  2. rc5 should fix that. I assume you're not using infinite scroll
  3. I removed them because it complicated settings more, and all the "shortcuts" were available in nearly one click everywhere anyway.
  4. I've seen this issue for a while but it would require some pain to fix, and I consider it low priority

I've been busy and haven't worked on photon for a bit, but i'll make sure to fix all these before merging v2

You may have selected English as a language and not undetermined. You can change it in the Main menu > profile > settings, then under languages, remove everything, or include Undetermined.

If that option is missing, you're using an outdated instance of Photon (likely one hosted on a lemmy instance). (This is why I was hesitant to let instances host photon themselves, causes so many UX catastrophes that are blamed on photon)

You can try again at https://phtn.app/

Photon will definitely keep being maintained by me for the foreseeable future, I don't necessarily like the Lemmy API but I still enjoy working on Photon

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

That's because they linked photon.lemmy.world... this is why I was hesitant to allow instances to link photon to them.

Anyway, you can use https://phtn.app/ (the official URL, like vger.app) to use any instance.

I am the developer of Photon. Tesseract was forked a long time ago and the features and code are much different now. I would not consider Tesseract a fork anymore, but a different project entirely.

Pourquoi l'instance 'Photon' exécute-t-elle Tesseract ? Ce sont des applications complètement distinctes avec des conceptions et des philosophies très différentes.

Navbar customizability was reduced because it caused the navbar to require tons of javascript calculations, rather than being a nice efficient css.

  1. Id like to redesign the layout of the navbar, but last time I did this people didn't like it. I'll try and experiment more with that.
  2. I have removal reply templates, so sure, I'll try and add them to application deny templates.
  3. That'll probably be in the final 2.0 release, again this is not the true release yet

I think that's an issue in old versions too, mostly due to the virtualizer (for performance). I'll look into it
