I was told by an admin that i can make update posts to Photon here, despite being a web app? Anyway…

Photon is the client with a black and white design, similar to Vercel.

    This looks promising, but is it just me or is there no option to install it as a PWA? I can create a shortcut from the browser’s main menu, but the shortcut just opens up a new tab in the browser.

      I have no experience with PWAs, but I’ll try and implement a PWA for this app soon. It’s meant to be more of a better Web UI though.

        Thanks for considering! I’m currently using it on my Fold 4, and I like it better than all the other solutions out there - the main reason being how left-handed friendly it is, and having actual buttons for actions, instead of relying on gestures. A PWA would be really appreciated - at least by us lefties and foldable/tablet users!

          I was surprised by how well it works on mobile considering how excellent it appears on desktop!

          yep. Buttons over Gestures gang! For me, gestures feel choppy & laggy on the webapps that I’ve tried.

    Very nice! I’m self hosting Photon right now and it couldn’t be easier. Keep up the great work!

      Agreed. I tried out my own self-host and the docker was super simple!
