I haven’t met a single person that didn’t like Photon. Photon is the only reason I started browsing on desktop regularly. It’s lean, clean, and packed with gorgeous transitions; I’ve rarely ever found a project that gets form and function right.

The internet is a shitty place. I’m not surprised that on Lemmy we have shit like

• “client with no JS when?”
• “I don’t want normies anyway”
• “I’m too old to appreciate a modern-looking UI”
• “eww I don’t like this thing that carries subjective opinions, let’s never let anyone use this.”

The troll energy is strong, but it doesn’t change that this is a great project. Alternative UI’s are what make Lemmy unique, and you’re doing your part. That’s appreciated.

oh my fuck. circular imports.

I set out to create a Discord Bot in Python, then gave up trying to use an easy “proper” server-side language and just did it in TypeScript
