For any UI devs: I’ve starting working on a lemmy front end called lemmy-ui-leptos [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos] using leptos [https://leptos.dev/], a Rust UI framework with isomorphic support, and tailwind + daisyUI [https://daisyui.com/] for the component styling. This could eventually replace the frankenstein’s monster that lemmy-ui has become. Some reasons for doing this: - lemmy-ui uses infernojs, which is based on the react model. IMO is largely superseded by signal-based reactivity in use in android jetpack-compose, SolidJS, and most new UI frameworks. - I had to hack on isomorphic support / server-side-rendering to infernoJS, and it’s very messy. Leptos has isomorphic support out of the box. - All the benefits of Rust over javascript. - Since leptos is in Rust, we can import the lemmy types directly. - I’ve been waiting for years for a good rust UI framework, and I think we’re finally here with leptos or sycamore. - lemmy-ui uses bootstrap, which is showing its age and limitations. Tailwind (and daisyUI) seem to be much more future-proof. I plan on leaving the site design and component styling to other, more skilled UI devs, while I work mostly on the auth, services, params, and overall back-end structure. - Please use daisyUI classes tho whenever possible over exhaustive tailwind ones. - I’d also like it if the UI could match that of jerboa’s (whenever possible), so that a change in one could be represented in the other, and so that things like badge appearance for admins, could be recognizeable across lemmy’s front ends. You don’t really need to learn rust to help out with this, as the components look very similar to JSX. Instructions for running it are in the CONTRIBUTING.md [https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui-leptos/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md] . Feel free to contribute! Right now only the home page, and post pages are working, but ready to be styled.

    This user is already getting ratiod, but for anyone who thinks this is a reasonable comment…

    So… Twitter is now owned by a dictator that now claims that ‘cis gender’ is a slur. Seems like he is barreling towards fascism to me. Facebook is owned by, maybe not a fascist, but someone that allows fascist content on their platform in order to increase revenue. They even admit that it is good for business. The AI researchers at Facebook trying to reduce fascist content were fired because they were actually effective, but would loose the company money. They also own threads, the twitter alternative. The Reddit CEO has used authoritarian methods to undo protesting on the platform. Sounds like it’s going in the wrong direction…

    Even so, the united states performs human rights violations all the time, inside the US, and outside using the military. You don’t see CEOs and politicians denouncing the USA after committing human rights violations, do you? Do you know all of the Chinese politician opinions on the matter?

    If you want to avoid all forms of authoritarianism, you could live under a rock. The fact of the matter is that open source and decentralization is the absolute best way to avoid authoritarianism, no matter who writes the code. Fork it if you don’t like it.
