Photon has had a lot of progress made recently. From a new design system to becoming a drop in replacement, changes are made constantly.
This is not everything that has changed, but there's a lot.

I've added the following:
- password resets
- verify email routes
- option to change password when logged in
- a warning message when your session expires
Photon can now be used as a default UI with (hopefully) no issue!
However, Photon cannot setup a new instance currently. This only works on instances that have already been setup with lemmy-ui, you can swap it out.
v1.15.0 will add a UI to do this.
instance admins, a docker image and setup instructions are available here. It is recommended you set the
PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED
env var totrue
to let search engines crawl the site.

I've tweaked the colors for light theme quite a lot. I think they look nice. It means I can make the background of buttons white, giving a clear separation.
- Tweak light theme colors
- Overhaul community page
- Add Inter font
- I kept the default as System UI. You can enable Inter from the settings.
- Upgrade to Mono v0.3.2

What's new:
- feat: Add ability to manage federated instances
- You can even upload a CSV!
- feat: Add markdown to post titles
- Since this is a rare occurrence i didn't turn the title input into a markdown editor.
- feat: Use notification date instead of submission date for inbox
- feat: Expand images on click
- I've made this an option since some people might dislike it.
Other stuff I haven't mentioned from previous updates:
- fix: Subscribed text being cut off
- change some wording
- Add a back button and reload comments button to post pages
- Add error handling to RelativeDate
Thanks for all your support on Photon! I'm still working on localization.
Saved to my home screen. Love the work you’ve done! The design system is super clean and the icon is rad as hell. Native app one day or na?
Unfortunately I don't have much experience in native app development. If I did want to make a native android app, I'd use native components and my app would look like Sync.
I could upload it to the play store though. Also adding it to your home screen should install it as a PWA!
It's not actually native, it's a PWA. However you can use a wrapping tool to upload PWAs to the play store.
