Another update on some progress. Been working on implementing popovers that will show information when you hover over things for long enough. This gives an easy way to get certain information without needing to leave the post feed

Moving your mouse off of the chip or popover closes it so you can keep browsing

Community chips (with the icon and gradient) replace links to communities in markdown. It makes sure that everything is a link relative to your instance and that it can trigger a popover for the community

This is shown in the video below with nested community chips (the description of these communities in lemmy currently link to other communities and those have all been replaced with chips)

More sidebar progress coming tomorrow

edit: if anyones over on the microblog side feel free to follow me there for some more frequent updates as im working on things. Usually will do progress reports there and then larger updates here. @Ategon@bytes.programming.dev

    Look great. Really appreciating the work you are doing and you sharing it with us.

    Most of those communities seem to have a header that divides it from the community above, but with the godot one, there is less contrast. Would it help to have a small padded divider of a different colour between it and the one above to clearly separate the community info?
