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

Is there any plan to improve support for PieFed?

[–] Xylight 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

how so? there's a few API features I need to get to like emoji reactions but so far the API hasn't changed dramatically

the best way to make me update something is to tell me, so expect updates soon!

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean sometimes the comments are invisible. No support for combining cross-posts or polls.

No criticism, just curious.

[–] Xylight 2 points 2 weeks ago

Photon already supports polls as of v2.2.0 and combining cross-posts isn't an option available in the API yet (i think).

Why is 2.3 not yet released on phtn.app?

[–] Xylight 1 points 2 weeks ago

some git weirdness didn't commit the actual version change. I'll update that on phtn.app as soon as I can, but for now all the features will be there but the version number will read 2.2.2

Who's Rfguy99 and why is he prohibited from using the app?
