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
For the UI I'm currently building its not up on a domain yet since theres still some things that are a bit broken
The old UI I was building though before I started merging everything into sublinks ( and that will have a bunch of similar features ) is up at https://beta.pangora.social
Theres also a demo of the backend at https://demo.sublinks.org but the frontend there is just lemmy-ui
