Looks fantastic!!
This is excellent news :) I've been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I'm very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)
Nice! Thank you.
I kinda like the general layout, but that color scheme is annoying. Can I change it somehow?
Yep, just go to 'Settings' under the Profile icon, top right.
You can change the colors but not remove them entirely. It's not possible to have it entirely white on black.

This is amazing.
Wow it looks amazing!!
And the developer is quick to add features. Highly recommended for desktop.
I like it but one thing I would change is the position of my subscribed community: from the left self-hiding sidebar to the righ always visible one
There's an option in the settings that makes the left sidebar not auto-hide if you just want to always be able to see them.

Looks great, but I need a light version. (Don't hate :P )
Looks really nice!
Great work Sheodox. Its beautiful!
Says I'm rate limited, then on refresh, banned. I don't think any other person in my household uses lemmy.world at all, so I wonder if it's just the high amount of traffic going to it from Comcast users.

Very nice looking
The layout doesn't work very well with narrow window widths, or on mobile screens. It's only comfortable to use if you expand the window to at least a 1080p window width, so it's not very useful on a desktop using tiling window management.

Thank you for all your hard work.
Working for me now.
just needs "alexandrite" in the header changing to lemmy.world i think, and maybe the logo changing
Yep, I'm actually working on making those changes now.
@antik Amazing! Alexandrite has become my absolute favourite way to browse lemmy over the last few weeks. Great to see it become part of .world!

looks great!!
looks great!!
Thank you!
Wow, I love this a lot. Initially chuckled at the theme color slider in the settings, but it's unironically a great way to edit that haha.
My instance (lemdro.id) has Photon as their modern look alternative, which also looks pretty sleek IMO, but I think I'll be using this going forward mostly because it's more desktop-looking than Photon's more mobile-centric layout.
Fantastic work on this, can't wait to see how it grows going forward.

Looks good! Sadly I can't seem to login with my lemmy.dbzer0.com account though.
No, this is only for lemmy.world accounts but you can go to alexandrite.app and login there with any instance account.
