That’s because they linked photon.lemmy.world… this is why I was hesitant to allow instances to link photon to them.

Anyway, you can use https://phtn.app/ (the official URL, like vger.app) to use any instance.

Inconsistent rounding and font size is my bet

I’ve been following Google’s material 3 since its release. There’s pretty good examples of it, like the calculator app, but half of google’s own apps don’t follow their own guidelines, and they keep making changes to stray away and make their designs even uglier. Gboard was one of the final hopes for google’s design. this better be a bug or something

I’ll need to implement something for multi API support once Lemmy 1.0 releases, and I could probably add basic mbin support there when that happens

It means that design choices and features I implement will follow what I believe to be optimal. I still try to consider what the users think, but the overall organization will prioritize my thought. It sounds narcissistic, but other software often follows this pattern.

It’s why Photon will rarely implement random features if I deem it to be something left to another tool, because my opinion is that it should remain simple unless the feature will significantly improve the user experience.

I removed it because I don’t want my app to necessarily depend or be associated with any specific centralized external source, like MBFC. By adding it to my app, I’m implicitly supporting its use, which wasn’t necessarily my goal.

I think this will run on device similar to Apple Intelligences’s app intents.

The charger limit got removed in this update for some reason

If it’s on device, cool.

Pretty nice. But please change the shape of icon-only buttons to a real circle. icon-only pills always look bad to me

It’s not securely sandboxed like a Qube, but apps can have their permission to access files and such restricted. Malware can escape the sandbox, or apps may come with very permissive permissions.

This must have changed recently since i remember having to add an explicit case to show just “Moderator”

The moderator is only given if the action was taken on your local instance

Photon doesn’t exactly have keyboard navigation, i’ve been working on it though

Irrelevant but the embed thumbnail terrifies me. why is the android fuzzy

I’d say the biggest criticism is that it’s the largest instance, and is also a “general purpose” instance, which sort of takes away from the main goal of the fediverse. When 90% of content comes from one instance, it opposes the goal of decentralization.

I chose lemdro.id because it’s nice and fast, the admins are very good, and its main topic is around technology/software which I like

Don’t want to wait? Get Firefox.

Padding is a very versatile thing in UI design, and none of it will make anything look terrible.

Even in your first example, the toolbar has slight padding on the edges and so do the buttons.

The reason there’s more padding now is because it makes it easier for new users to process everything.

I haven’t gotten it yet. I notice that google will release anything they announce months after. It took ages for the editing feature to finally appear in google messages for me.

Buying a nice domain and it actually being used is such a good feeling
