I’ve implemented most of the requested features in the previous roadmap post.
I’m also working with the lemmy.world admins to get photon hosted there 👀
I made this post to ask, what do you want to see in photon now?
In addition to what the others have said (particularly the Top sorting options and markdown toolbar), I’d like a way to link directly to a comment. We already have the thread view, so it would just be a matter of adding a link to each comment. (Update: Just made this PR #56)
Another easy and quick change is to add a preview button to posts bodies (just like comments).
For the PWA, you can consider adding notifications (optional of course), but I don’t think this is a big deal.
I think handling of adding new communities could be better (or present at all). Right now, I have to use the traditional lemmy-ui to add a community that hasn’t been visited yet and refresh a few times. This isn’t the fault of Photon, but I would if it could make this process smoother.
Finally, I look forward to the completion of the admin tools such as approving new applicants.
Overall, I’m very happy with the state of Photon and have been using it daily on desktop and mobile :]
