It's beautiful yes, but it's also kinda dumb. Lots of page elements (like the community banner and notifications section) need manually refreshing to show anything, and I need to press 'Go' after changing view (like Subscribed/All or Hot/New) like the web of ancient times. This may just be how it's implemented at endlesstalk, but there's other irritations like not having the option to upload a picture when creating posts, and it not actually doing anything if I change my settings to toggle 'Show NSFW'
It looks like that instance isn't using the most up-to-date version since the "press go" issue has been fixed. Try to keep in mind that the initial commit was on June 24 and it's still very early in the development stage. If you look at the commits, you can see the developer has been very active.
I don't like webui's for lemmy. This means they're getting all your traffic. It's a mitm situation again, much like google's amp links.
If I'm running a dedicated app, I can validate that my traffic is going directly to my instance and not being farmed and sold by a 3rd party behind the scenes.
Uhh.. not clear on what you're claiming here... you can validate the traffic is going to the expected instance using a web app, without requiring any special software by running Developer tools and heading to the network tab.
Web front ends currently require a backend service that then routes to your intended destination because Lemmy servers by default are configured with cors to only allow requests from their intended domain. There is a PR to fix it but I don't believe it's been merged in. This may be out of date but that was true as of a few weeks ago per the dev of Voyager which is the web frontend I use
edit: this is no longer true. A PR 2 weeks ago fixed this issue and web front ends are able to work just as well as a native app now.
That checks it only for the current session, though. The app might do nefarious things only on new moons, or on a specific date. It might also get updated at any point with completely new code without you noticing.
I've been planning a frontend a bit like this. I'm glad I'm not the only one that wanted a solid, widescreen friendly, single tab interface... because I was unlikely to ever work on the one I was thinking of.
This looks amazing. I'm currently using Dracula for Lemmy but I might switch to this.
Can someone let me know if the login is using Oauth? Or is it submitted directly to the server? I'm not saying it's malicious or anything but I just want to be vigilant and check.
Thanks! I was hesitant because it had me put in the 2FA code right on the log on page but I guess that's not a big deal since it changes ever 30 seconds or so.
(I don't know how to link to the original post or the one in your own instance sorry but the original post to credit the author is here: https://userstyles.world/style/10759/draculemmy-a-dracula-theme-for-lemmy - it's in !Fediverse@lemmy.world and the title is "I created a Dracula theme for Lemmy" by sillyhatsonly)
I've been using it for the last day or so on a separate account and I like it so far. It's a new app and there's plenty of stuff planned for it, but the ability to open comments in a separate column instead of another tab is fantastic. There's already a request for light mode in the repo, which is my biggest issue right now.
Wow, truly amazing compared to the native lemmy UI. Won’t use it much since I mostly browse on mobile with an app I like, but definitely bookmarked for pc lemmy browsing
You can, and I'm doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.
Yeah, after looking around, it seems that's the only option. I'd rather self-host something like this, if possible. I'll look into contacting the dev and ask.
