Incredible work Reilo. One of the slaent elite should really be paying you for this.
Couple questions
Is it possible to have favourites at the top of the mobile home page
Is it possible to have a different layout on mobile to desktop?

I like the dot signifying threads with unread posts. I also like how the navigation is simple and quick enough that I don't find myself wanting to open a new tab for each thread.
I tried the upload image feature and it worked well enough.
I am missing having the shortcut ctrl+enter to submit a post, though. I'll need to get the source running on my machine so I can add that back in myself.
Oh, funny thing about post length in the editor is that the whole thing moves up as you type a longer post, causing previous posts to get hidden. The "Load new posts" button is not affected by this and scrolls upwards with the new height of the editor.

By Kibner Go To PostNo favicon or whatever it is that is the icon browsers use to represent the site in their tabs.All the meta tag / icon stuff is so annoying. Gonna do that later lol.

- Fast performance, easy to work with
- Meta’s Lexical for a comprehensive and proper WYSIWYG editor
- I had to write this twice because they dropped support for their old framework which name I cannot remember
- Websockets for presence, notifications, real-time thread updates
By HottestGrapes Go To PostOn a serious note, are you really okay with locally hosting images from Wooden’s collection?It gave me A LOT OF PAUSE. I can also conditionally ban it if need be since it's user-scoped.
By Laboured Go To Post2MB image limit?! In this economy?The rules are the rules.
By Kibner Go To PostWhen marking all notifications as read, the number of unread notifications on the navigation bar does not go away until a page refresh. Navigating to a different page didn't work to clear it. Only page refresh.Just to add to kibner here, the dots on unread threads are slow to disappear and usually require a full page refresh to update.
I am also getting that scrollbar on the navigation bar. Vivaldi, 50% of 4k (so, 1080p but taller). I have tried changing window size to both full 4k and also much smaller than 1080p and refreshingbut scrollbar remains.
By reilo Go To PostThis is on purpose but might change. I went away from Twitter's default embed as the jarring page jumps / bounce was solely caused by it. The way tweets rendered would have them render 3-4 different heights before it calmed its tits. If you notice, it should be a lot smoother now.Yeah I get that, though I think you also lose a lot not having the images and videos not show up.
By Laboured Go To PostJust to add to kibner here, the dots on unread threads are slow to disappear and usually require a full page refresh to update.Clicking on "SL&ENT" will refresh it, but I forgot to do it for "Home" on the navigation bar.
By Plasma Go To PostYeah I get that, though I think you also lose a lot not having the images and videos not show up.I can bring normal Twitter embeds back if everyone prefers.
Looks wild on mobile! But like in a good way!! Adjusting shouldn't be too difficult. Just have to get that muscle memory switched over.
Really great job reilo 🫡

By reilo Go To PostWhat do you mean by different layout?The Home Feed option.
I find the default a bit too visually heavy for mobile use, but I can imagine liking it on desktop
By JesalR Go To PostThe Home Feed option.Probably not exactly what you want, but you can change the layout manually for your account in your profile options (so would apply to both mobile and desktop):

This may be something you’re reluctant to change, but I feel that on mobile, with all of the thread title header, the menu bar, and the reply frame being sticky/fixed, it feels a little cramped trying to scroll through a thread.
If I had my way, I’d just have it scroll with the other contents.
As a bonus feature-beg, you could have the menu bar hide when scrolling down and only appear again when scrolling back up.

- You can collapse the composer, if you haven't done so, and it'll remember that.
- Hiding/showing the navigation as you scroll will be the way to go, just haven't done it yet.
By reilo Go To PostYea there'll be tweaks going forward especially on mobile.looking forward to checking on slaent first thing in the morning and seeing no one quoted me.
Scrollbar should no longer be white on Edge in Windows for the left-hand navigation. Can't promise for other browsers / desktops.
Is there going to be a collapse option on desktop for the sidebar and title bar? That would my main complaint so far, the 'viewport' on old slaent was much larger and it feels a bit limiting with the new one

Oh awesome, didn't think it was supported!
Do people care about it being white for the page scrollbar? I can make it look the same.

Vivaldi is chromium like every non-Safari-and-Firefox browser nowadays, so I'm not surprised. :p And chromium has roots in webkit from Safari so it really is just Firefox that is the "weird" one where I would expect things to not just work sometimes.
I'm ok with the custom scrollbar being the standard "alt" color. No real preference.
ALSO! The links at the bottom of the navigation bar (ToS, PP, rules, Contact) all just go to the home page instead of the relevant pages.

Can we have some AI integration? Like some suggested comments "nice astrophotography bud", "you're a ball bag horse"
By Punished Go To PostCan we have some AI integration? Like some suggested comments "nice astrophotography bud", "you're a ball bag horse"i shudder to think what a generative AI trained on the posts of this forum would create. Especially if it was just trained on the footy threads.
By Laboured Go To PostQuoting for Kabro.too late, im already awake. the disappointment has faded.
Also, can we please not have low quality banner images for promoted thread?
new site design demands sexy high quality images, people.
Ace writing books and Reilo updating websites and I can't be arsed to do my crown molding in my kitchen
By Punished Go To PostCan we have some AI integration? Like some suggested comments "nice astrophotography bud", "you're a ball bag horse"AI would never say that about me. I am a friend of the AIs.

By reilo Go To Post^ yea you can render a list on home instead of the gridYeah, my question is more whether we can have a different setting for mobile and desktop. Default is too heavy for mobile for me,
Notification bell now gets properly updated as you read notifications / mark all as read. The bell icon is also now visible in the header on mobile.
By JesalR Go To PostYeah, my question is more whether we can have a different setting for mobile and desktop. Default is too heavy for mobile for me,Yes, sure. You prefer a list on mobile but the grid on desktop, correct?
By reilo Go To PostNotification bell now gets properly updated as you read notifications / mark all as read. The bell icon is also now visible in the header on mobile.hell yeah. I'm vibin like that white cat.
By reilo Go To PostYes, sure. You prefer a list on mobile but the grid on desktop, correct?exactly that

By Crusher Go To PostOn mobile it’s a bit claustrophobic when scrolling a thread tbhCollapse the composer. Also see above that I'll make it so that the top nav bar gets hidden while scrolling.
i often have the tab open on my second monitor like this while i work and it looks a bit cramped.
could need a space in between the second and third row.
