there was an issue (no pixel placing cooldown) so the sites being rebuilt to fix it
Servers overloaded atm, will be a bit to have things fixed
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
Been a couple months since my last update and theres been some announcements and me settling into the project I said I was merging Pangora into.
The project has been announced now with the name Sublinks and is currently being worked on by a bunch of devs and lemmy admins to make progress towards parity with lemmy quickly
Ive been working on UI design for Sublinks (attached image is an early version of the home page) bringing in aspects I worked on in Pangora and refining them
Will be posting updates over in !sublinks@discuss.online with my progress on the UI!
This community will be dead for awhile until sublinks reaches parity and the new version of Pangora is forked from it
Hey everyone! Ill be starting to share updates on the frontend visuals here like I was doing with Pangora before it got merged into Sublinks
Starting off with some progress I've been making on the Home Page. Been taking things I enjoy from both alternate frontends such as Photon and Tesseract, as well as Misskey forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey.
People who followed me as I was developing Pangora might recognize a lot of similar design decisions
Still in progress but ill try to share new progress at least every couple of days when I work on it with new additions
The left sidebar can be collapsed to show only icons for people who want a bit more space for post cards
Hovering over an option adds a popover saying what it is
In addition when you scroll down the navbar shrinks a bit to give you more space for post cards. On mobile the navbar hides completely when you scroll down and then shows again when you scroll up
The frontend is still heavily in progress so things may change a lot still before release as I refine it. If you've got suggestions feel free to give me them
For communities yes due to cross instance stats but for instances themselves (which the stats above is based on) no. You can just use post read times in addition to the three which will catch anyone who has read a post. Post reads are something each instance has access to for its users so it can do the unread comments feature but it doesn't federate (but each instance self reports stats on itself).
The testing instances were all blocked so that test posts didnt start populating the feeds
the voyager instance also has no relation to the voyager app, its not a staging area for it
if theres demand for a testing area we can make a testing community here and hide it from the feeds by default
For your edit, this is a collector community for gamedev news so its valid in both. Feel free to crosspost it over if you want
This community got voted to be a collector community for all of the programming content in the instance
So that kind of thing is allowed to be posted here and people in the comments can give people communities to crosspost it to lead them towards that area for future posts
This makes it so users can be lead to other communities in the instance to then post in instead of not knowing where to do so (if theyre in another instance they cant browse our local communities very well in the default UI without needing a third party site)
I can add a way to automate that with a bot in the comments
The C# version of the project is separate from the main one. It is possible to entirely code a game in c++ though in the main one (you can use both c++ and gdscript in it in one game interchangeably). Gdscript is a really easy language to learn though and is similar to other scripting languages (the only things you really need to learn is some keywords godot added to make coding in it easier when using things in the engine. Stuff like node names etc you would have to learn regardless of the language you're using)
The JavaScript singleton no longer exists in Godot 4. Instead theres something called JavaScriptBridge. Docs about it here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/exporting_for_web.html#calling-javascript-from-script but havent used it before so cant give more than that
Then it'll be a feature only in our site and any other sites using our version of lemmy
Yeah this is the best spot atm in the instance, its a catchall community for programming things in the instance. The ios dev community is currently going through the community request process and then this can be crossposted into there
Heres an explanation I did on the old post https://programming.dev/comment/1029515
bots arent allowed, if you point out the pixels mods can check if they actually are bots
