Looks great. Love the clean design and it has good contrast without being annoying with the colors. Definitely keeping an eye on sublinks.

I really like the design so far! I see you've taken inspiration from photon for the site info card ;)
The side nav is one of the best navs i've seen in my life, good job!
Thanks! Yeah lot of design is an amalgation of things I liked from many different frontends
Photon, voyager, alexandrite, tesseract, iceshrimp, sharkey
Really liked how you structured site info so did something similar but added in some similar formatting from pangora so it has things like the banner at the top
I think you should put a brief intro to the idea at the very top. I read your whole post and thought it was another Lemmy front end until I read the community description, and most people aren't going to do that.
Otherwise looks good. It's always nice to have more platforms in the fediverse and API compatibility is great.
Does this work: [email protected]
True ill edit that in in a sec
Demo instance doesnt federate atm
Does the test instance basically run Lemmy? It still says Lemmy at the bottom of the page.
Backend is sublinks, frontend is lemmy
And this post is referring to a future alternative front end?
This is the future default UI for sublinks that will be used instead of lemmy-ui as the default on sublinks instances
Not ready to be used yet so lemmy frontend is there to show api compatibility and that the backend is functioning
Neat. Thank you for laying it out for me.
You can find more details here: http://sublinks.org/
Way ahead of you, I've already registered for the demo, commented from Sync, then had it and my account removed lol.
Yeah the entire site resets every day or something
Did you disable registration because of me? lol
nah think registration still works. Site just has issues sometimes
Sometimes when I go to look at it I catch it when its resetting everything
It works now. Before it said something like toast is cool
It is also a lemmy frontend I believe, it is compatible. Maybe instances that host frontends like lemmy.world should host it as it looks amazing. Maybe once it is complete other instances could host it instead of the default.
Theoretically could be used with lemmy at least on initial release (im using it with my lemmy instance right now for testing). Might be some issues when the feature set gets expanded out
Do you reckon the UI is close to feature parity? The UI looks really good, are you thinking of hosting a demo of it anytime soon?
Features wise could get parity relatively quickly (maybe a couple weeks of only doing features). Adding in design though so it looks good might take a month or a couple months
Think the plan was for us to host something once auth and the main features are in like the home feed which should maybe be both done this week or next week
Only a couple months till it's caught up to lemmy-ui? That's super fast, I thought sublinks was like 2 months old? It will probably take longer to convince instance admins to host it.
Can you make a post in this community when the demo is live?
The basic features of lemmy UI aren't that bad to add in and I had already done so with Pangora. Compared to gamedev this is extremely easy
Thats assuming nonstop work for two months though so probably would take longer since I do things like game jams
Yeah sure ill be making a post here
Looks great!
