What's Changed

design: make the signup page look slightly less atrocious
feat: add keyword and URL filtering for posts by @Kehet and @Xyphyn in https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/711
- only for posts for now, by default it will minimize the post in your feed to let you know it was hidden while still being unobtrusive. if you want to completely hide them, that's still an option
feat: automatically retrieve cross-server content
- previously this would require an extra button press. this is much more transparent
- also this makes photon links a lot better for sharing with frens
feat: completely rewrite the api adapters to not be absymal trash
- if an employer saw that i wrote the old api adapter i would be fired on the spot
fix: Missing escaped text by @sevonj in https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/pull/706
upgrade: svelte -> 5.49.1, sveltekit -> 2.50.1, vite -> 6.4.1, tailwindcss -> 4.1.18
misc: improve settings reachability by making a categorized page on mobile
design: make button presses react more frequently to just make things feel nicer
design: lots and lots of design tweaks like a new loading animation (massive changes)
refactor: authentication logic
fix: remove useless sveltekit __data.json blocking calls, speed up navigation within layouts (and make everything work without the photon server)
feat: make it impossible to use the app if you have a certain username because funny
