Cheers for adding to the alternate frontend scene in Lemmy. It's nice seeing more options.

Some things that jumped out to me:

• Dark mode feels a little too dark. I can barely see post separators and as a result the page blends together making it a bit hard to read.

• The upvote/downvote arrows are at different positions depending on the vote number (see 1st pic)

• The deep blue color for links mixes with the blue in the background, making it hard to read (see 1st pic)

• The icons in the top toolbar clip into the div above it (see 2nd pic)

• I'm a fan of the gradient-first design, but not everything has to be a gradient imo. Usernames and community names are hard to read.

• I think it should show the community/instance sidebar by default considering the right side of the screen is initially empty

• Not a complaint this time, I really love the comments section UI. It's very clean and readable. I also love that it's a sidebar similar to Alexandrite.

With a few color & theming tweaks it's already very usable and well made. Everything seems to be working properly coding-wise. Good luck on your project!

Any other news on the project in general too?

I think the gradient background is a bit too bright? I reduced the luminance for the colors down to 7% and I think it's easier to read, but I'm not a graphic designer at all lmao

:is(.dark .dark\:to-fuchsia-950) {
    --tw-gradient-to: #200222 var(--tw-gradient-to-position);
}
:is(.dark .dark\:via-black) {
    --tw-gradient-to: transparent var(--tw-gradient-to-position);
    --tw-gradient-stops: var(--tw-gradient-from),#000 var(--tw-gradient-via-position),var(--tw-gradient-to);
}
:is(.dark .dark\:from-blue-950) {
    --tw-gradient-from: #080c1c var(--tw-gradient-from-position);
    --tw-gradient-to: rgba(23,37,84,0) var(--tw-gradient-to-position);
    --tw-gradient-stops: var(--tw-gradient-from),var(--tw-gradient-to);
}

also on light theme the posts have a different background color, outline, and shadow so they stand out well from the background, but on dark theme the post background is transparent so they don't stand out from the background at all, that might be a better fix than the CSS changes above

but again I'm not a graphic designer and I'm actually a fan of very plain readable themes

Thank you for your work!

Also FYI, the post about the January update did not federate to my instance: https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/pangora@programming.dev

I guess it was lost in the 19.1 turmoil

Looks really good and the comment cross posting is great! Why will it be switching to an allowlist? Seems like it’ll just cause it to very rarely be used when it should be something all apps/uis adopt

Does this ui work without javascript?
