Photon v1.29.4 - Improvments to navigation (lemdro.id)

New stuff

  • Revert the positions of most navigation buttons (Home on left, profile on right)
  • Add "adaptive" options to dock settings
    • This will make the dock's position (top, bottom, floating or not) change based on your screen size (it is now the default)
    • So on mobile, you'll have a bottom, floating dock but on desktop a top panel

Fixes

  • Add autofocus to search bar #319
  • Don't hide titles on iframes #317
  • Add refresh button to inbox page #313
  • Dock covers sidebars as a top panel
  • Add maxlength to password form #312

That sound great! Thanks for being receptive to feedback ๐Ÿ‘

Edit: works nicely. Just a minor suggestion: on desktop it should show not only the logo but also the name of the instance at the top left. Thanks!

Edit2: and on mobile you might replace "Frontpage" with the instance name as well.

Thanks for the update, I will try it out tomorrow.

Edit: Found some time to try it today but I'm still not a fan of the layout. Have you seen my suggestions in the other thread?

I too will test this tmr morning! Will come back with feedback ๐ŸŒป

Update: This is much better, although I would suggest having a home-icon inside the white logo, it might not be super intuitive that it is a home button(?). Also the notification number seem to be a little off. Overall I am happy to have this change!

On a side note: we have a local instance here: https://photon.slrpnk.net which I recommend to use over 3rd party hosted ones due password security considerations.

Thanks for pointing that out, I went with the phtn.app as I thought it was some official one? And because I could add addtional accounts. But I barely used any other accounts so Ill shoot back over to the warmth of slrpnk ๐ŸŒป

Generally there is not much wrong with using the official version, but since Lemmy sadly does not yet support modern app authentication methods like Oauth2, it is better to use 1st party hosted frontends as this minimizes the risk of your password leaking.

phtn.app is the official one and will receive all updates instantly, so it might actually be more secure.

the new ui tweaks are great, Thank you for listening to the community!

Thank you!

Bug fix request - markdown titles don't work, for example in !abc@slrpnk.net I use bold to make prisoner names easier to see and search for.
