Awesome! I'll update the lemdro.id version this evening :)

Nice. Keep up the good work xl

This looks promising, but is it just me or is there no option to install it as a PWA? I can create a shortcut from the browser's main menu, but the shortcut just opens up a new tab in the browser.

I have no experience with PWAs, but I'll try and implement a PWA for this app soon. It's meant to be more of a better Web UI though.

Thanks for considering! I'm currently using it on my Fold 4, and I like it better than all the other solutions out there - the main reason being how left-handed friendly it is, and having actual buttons for actions, instead of relying on gestures. A PWA would be really appreciated - at least by us lefties and foldable/tablet users!

I was surprised by how well it works on mobile considering how excellent it appears on desktop!

[-] Justly0250@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

yep. Buttons over Gestures gang! For me, gestures feel choppy & laggy on the webapps that I've tried.

[-] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Update: PWA was added!

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, they're very welcome. Thanks for all your work on this!

[-] cole@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

nu.lemdro.id has now updated to v0.2.2

Very nice! I'm self hosting Photon right now and it couldn't be easier. Keep up the great work!

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I tried out my own self-host and the docker was super simple!
