Glad to hear Photon has satisfactory performance, the new Svelte 5 version (use tag v2.0.0-rc.5) might even run faster, might want to give that a try.

Unfortunately Photon is also American

Not sure why some UIs don’t show it because the data is given straight to you anyway, and it actually takes more code to hide it under certain conditions

Argh I wish browsers handled that themselves for password inputs

Jokes aside, I’m excited to see where this project goes.

Generally a result of decentralization is that subjectively bad instances can arise, but the entire point of decentralization is that they can exist. I don’t consider it a weak point.

Part of Gen Z and almost all the people my age I know are heavily conservative. It’s pretty isolating.

How about no

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

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.

My profile picture is some random sunset. No idea where it’s from or where I got it.

Strange. I find that sh.reddit was significantly faster than the original new reddit. It also uses a framework that is more close to native html than whatever they were using before.

We can teleport 7 inches, but there is no cool down specified.

1. Go outside.
2. Teleport 7 inches at a time into the sky, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.
3. Teleport 7 inches at a time to whatever location you want, at such a high rate it’s nearly instant.

Inconsistent rounding and font size is my bet

I’ve been following Google’s material 3 since its release. There’s pretty good examples of it, like the calculator app, but half of google’s own apps don’t follow their own guidelines, and they keep making changes to stray away and make their designs even uglier. Gboard was one of the final hopes for google’s design. this better be a bug or something

I’ll need to implement something for multi API support once Lemmy 1.0 releases, and I could probably add basic mbin support there when that happens

It means that design choices and features I implement will follow what I believe to be optimal. I still try to consider what the users think, but the overall organization will prioritize my thought. It sounds narcissistic, but other software often follows this pattern.

It’s why Photon will rarely implement random features if I deem it to be something left to another tool, because my opinion is that it should remain simple unless the feature will significantly improve the user experience.
