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.

Nothing related to deployment, but I’ve noticed photon doesn’t let you escape markdown like other clients do.

E.g. This:

\>watches french thing  
\>gets mad when it's subversive and weird  
???

Get’s displayed like this in photon:

I’ll look into that. Markdown is absolute hell to make work.

Absolutely get that, I’ve been doing some stuff with markdown lately and I didn’t realise I could hate a file format so much. Best of luck, friend.

While I have you on markdown, this:

> test
>
> test

Is currently displaying like a line break with no extra space between the two, rather than as two different paragraphs.

Other than that - great work. It’s clearly the biggest hit of the frontends that we’ve added.

Ooo Photon looks nice. Do you have any troubles using these as a PWA (Progressive Web App)?

And it has full search!

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

Catppuccin is very easy on the eyes, so cheers for the reminder to change it here too.
