Ooo I love it! What lens did you use? I bought a cheap old Pentax lens that has some cool looking chromatic aberration like on the branches in your photo and I love it.

I recently got back into working on Alexandrite after a little more than a year of no activity/updates, and I’ve been checking out Photon. I’m extremely impressed with what you’ve managed to accomplish while I’ve been gone! I’ve already taken inspiration from your work with some of my recent changes, and will likely copy more of your homework. Like others are saying, don’t sell yourself short! You’ve built one of the best Lemmy frontends out there and I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

Not yet but I’ll add that eventually.

Ah right, totally forgot about that. It’ll be in the next release!

Thank you! Glad you like it!

Glad there are people still here enjoying it! :)

Next update will include image uploading, here’s a preview:

I don’t think so, at least when I scroll my pixelfed feed it loads images from various domains.

I was feeling pretty bad about leaving it untouched for so long, but working on (any of) my side projects wasn’t interesting me for a while. However with all the general social media turmoil out there (Meta trying to be more evil, US banning TikTok, and billionaires in general being just the worst) I figured I should do my part to improve the appeal of the fediverse. Seeing lots of things I want to improve, and I’m remembering how much I like making things look nice.

Lol I was wondering how people would react to seeing it for the first time. Thanks!
