Photon now has a better desktop UI!

Photon in dark theme

Photon is an alternative web UI for lemmy with a sleek design.)

When I initially made Photon, it was meant to be an alternative to lemmy-ui, meant for both desktop and mobile.

A lot of people were complaining that it was too small and said it only made sense for mobile, which looking back was correct at the time (taken from old github readme):

Well, I'm happy to report that the desktop UI takes a lot more advantage of the screen space now.

You can:

  • Quickly switch accounts from the sidebar
  • Hop to the communities you're moderating
  • Look through your subscribed communities
  • Resize the sidebar to your liking
  • and more!

It looks REALLY nice. Thanks for it!

This looks excellent! Thanks for your work building it!

So nice, but hope the left sidebar area to be much thinner, and to remember my setting for the width.

The sidebar takes up a large portion because the main section looks weird when it's too wide

This is great, thank you for this!

This looks pretty good! I was wondering how to activate the dark mode though. I looked through the settings and didn't see a toggle for it.

It uses your system theme. On librewolf, it'll likely force light theme for fingerprinting resistance :(

Update: added a manual theme toggle a few weeks ago
