New frontends!
Happy to announce we've finally setup some alternative frontends.
Photon might be flaky, we're on a release candidate because of issue I was running into using it in Firefox. It's also what I'm using to write this. If you notice any issues, feel free to let us know.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yay. Photon is by far the best imo
Also strongly recommend Photon users change the theme to Catppuccin, it's such a lovely colour scheme
How do you change themes? On the themes page the import button doesn't work.
Click on your username/avatar at the top right, then Theme, then just click on Catppuccino
I only get the options of default and classic.
It scrolls! Dammit. The scrolling on Photon is a bit of a PitA when trying to make longer posts and it looks like it has caught me out here too.
Yeah, the text box getting its own scroll window instead of expanding is annoying. It can be expanded, but I imagine that's a pain to do on mobile.
For anyone else annoyed by this, I've created a userscipt to auto expand the textarea. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing.

function updateHeight(textarea) {
var text = textarea.target.value;
var lineHeight = 1.25 * parseFloat(getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).fontSize);
var taHeight = textarea.target.scrollHeight - 16 * 2;
var lines = Math.max(Math.ceil(taHeight / lineHeight), 8);
textarea.target.rows = lines;
}
setInterval((function () {
let textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (let textarea of textareas) {
textarea.addEventListener("input", updateHeight);
}
}), 2000);
Very nice!
@Emperor@feddit.uk I'll update photon soon to increase the size of the text box as you type.
I'll also tweak parts of the UI to make nested scrolling places more obvious. You can always mention me about this stuff, I want to keep this UI intuitive!
Oh, that's interesting. Another user has said in reply to my comment they have the option too. I'm using Brave Browser but I don't have Stylish or anything installed
Catppuccin is very easy on the eyes, so cheers for the reminder to change it here too.
