There was like 8 prereleases for this because i kept changing stuff. This is actually going to be from v1.31.1 and v1.31.2.

Biggest changes

Command palette

  • Press / or ctrl + p and start typing to instantly go to a page, switch themes, switch accounts, etc.

Theming changes

  • You can now have multiple presets for themes, and there are 5 default presets. (Default, Classic, AMOLED, Catppuccin, Lightly)
  • Admins can set their own default theme for photon with PUBLIC_THEME.

New markdown renderer

  • Photon now uses svelte-markdown for markdown rendering, which lets me use custom components for markdown.
  • Instead of only style changes, I can run actual code, meaning images can be made expandable and codeblocks can be copyable.

Lots of languages

  • There are a ton of languages thanks to the community.
  • English
  • Hebrew
  • Bulgarian
  • Chinese
  • Dutch
  • Estonian
  • Finnish
  • French
  • German
  • Japanese
  • Polish
  • Portuguese

Minor features

  • New "link actions" menu
    • This will have options for archive sites to bypass paywalls, etc.
    • Media bias action was moved next to here, or in here depending on your selected post style.
  • Allow uploading multiple images at a time
  • Select menus use my own components now, making them more powerful
  • Add infinite scroll to communities too
  • Add uploaded media/voted posts in your profile page
  • Using my own service worker now, so caches should work properly

Other stuff

  • Use sharper icons for readability

Could you include SpinScore as a link action to counter MBFC bias?

With the latest-node or v1.31.2 docker images, I cannot get photon to load (infinite spinner). However, v1.31.2-rc.8-node works just fine for me (loads and behaves normally).

I am not getting any visible errors on either the client or server... the client just spins. Someone else has filed a bug report here:

https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/issues/408

Is there any flags or environmental variables we can enable to get more debugging output?

I was asking about the dev console. I pushed an update that fixes this.
