Made a sticky post.

How often does it auto upgrade? I noticed that photon.lemmy.ca is on V1.4.2 while the current version is V1.9.4. Are builds failing?

A few quite large bugs are on v1.4.2

Nice try, NordVPN.

Hope you got your tetanus shot

You can also set it as the URL parameter.

Should be fixed in v1.9.4. I use the community search page instead of redirecting to the true search page. This has a sorting option, and is sorted by top by default, which should fix this.

Any operating system can run on anything with an x86 CPU. That's not what's insane, it's the fact that it's gonna be unbearably slow

I really hope they add all tracks soon, maybe even some new ones

This game has serious potential. It they end it prematurely Nintendo has gone even more mad.

I too, have never reached Silence because sand ocean always causes me to crash :p

You should try the special events when they rotate. I feel it makes the game a little less repetitive.

Grands prix are pretty "casual" for something big, and they often pretty fun. The pro tracks I always do to get better at them.

Team battles are meh but they're still cool

I nearly choke on pizza like this

Misleading; this article is from 2019. I don't believe they do this anymore.

I'm probably gonna add a date picker component to Mono, as the current system for ban expirations has you manually type in a date an then have it be parsed by native JS. I'm gonna make a date picker component where you can select time from a clock and a date from a calendar to make this easier.

 

What's new:

  • feat: Add ability to manage federated instances
    • You can even upload a CSV!
  • feat: Add markdown to post titles
    • Since this is a rare occurrence i didn't turn the title input into a markdown editor.
  • feat: Use notification date instead of submission date for inbox
  • feat: Expand images on click
    • I've made this an option since some people might dislike it.

Other stuff I haven't mentioned from previous updates:

  • fix: Subscribed text being cut off
  • change some wording
  • Add a back button and reload comments button to post pages
  • Add error handling to RelativeDate

Thanks for all your support on Photon! I'm still working on localization.

 

Should I post every single release here (there's 1-2 per day) or keep the minor ones on GitHub? I'd pin the major ones.

 

What do the talking flowers think about the fire flower? Do they see it as you consuming their own kind? Is it considered not a sentient being?

 

I've finished switching Photon to the Mono design system.

(Mono is basically just Photon's design converted into a library following decent practices)

You can checkout the design system here.

With this comes a few updates:

  • No longer using the awful MultiSelect component for everything
    • Instead, we're using select menus now!
    • You can actually tell what each thing means.
  • Design tweaks
  • Much better codebase
    • Over 1,800 lines have been nuked
  • Change view style from the main page
  • Rename "Compact" view to "List"
  • Default view style is now "List"
  • View admins of instances and moderators of communities
  • You can also view the communities a user moderates!
 

I'm working on turning Photon's design into a UI library called Mono. You can see my progress here.

It's being made from scratch so that it's the highest quality UI library possible. It will also make it very simple to implement new features, and will make Photon's UI overall look better.

It's also technically usable currently, but you do have to do some setup for it to work that I haven't written in the docs yet.

 

You won't notice much on the cards design, except that body text is no longer in its own container, and it fades out.

The compact design was completely overhauled though, to look much better.

I used to only use cards but I exclusively use compact now.

Notice

I'm not translating them right now, I'm preparing Photon for actual native speakers of languages to translate. I plan to make it as easy as possible for people to contribute. These likely butchered translations are just for me to test if it's working.

You can view progress here
