Photon
photon.xylight.dev
An alternative lemmy client with a sleek design.

First stable release!

GitHub link

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?

    The Imagi behaviour is a lot better for user flow.

    I didn’t know you were using svelte for this. I guess it explains the weirdness you mention. Personally not a fan myself, as I can across similar issues. My “new hotness” stack or choice became solid and then qwik, as there was less “magic” and more possibility to take control when things get fucky.

      Svelte is NOT Sveltekit. Very different purposes. The reason I use Sveltekit is because I love Svelte. I could use another server if I wanted to.

      Most meta frameworks (Solid Start, Qwik City) use this rendering method as well.

      How long is it taking for the post pages to load for you? It takes me about 0.5 - 1 second for the page to load with the client renderer.
