It works best on a phone / tablet but on a desktop it’s fine too once you switch to compact mode.

It can be installed as a PWA.

There are also lots of themes you can try at https://piefed.social/user/settings. Here are some screenshots of them - https://join.piefed.social/screenshots/

    Probably should include the name of the software you’re using and credit the dev:

    Blorp by @moseschrute@lemmy.world

        Great, I’m sure everyone who comes here will click through and read those.

        E: the dev literally wouldn’t even be here if I hadn’t tagged them, because they were not mentioned anywhere, nor was the name or source of the software they created.

          Photon doesn’t add the app name or developer credits anywhere either, at least on mobile: https://photon.piefed.zip/

              Nor did Blorp. Photon is the alternative front-ends, similar to Blorp.

              Piefed.zip and Piefed.social are the instances adding those front-ends.

                Yes, so they’re also not the ones responsible for attribution, thanks.

                I don’t understand why you’re arguing with me about something as simple as providing attribution.

                  He doesn’t really seem impacted negatively by the lack of attribution, which is further evidenced by the lack of attribution in Blorpblorp itself, the same way Photon doesn’t have it either.

                  Some people just want to create apps for the sake of it, without having people using their apps being pointed out that they don’t give credits to them.

      That would be a nice gesture and I think I’ll do that in future, if I have the spoons.

      @moseschrute@lemmy.world have you considered adding “Powered by Blorp” with a link to your site at the bottom of the left column? That way every copy of the software has your stamp on it and SEOs you.

      I’m sure this can be done with custom CSS in the user settings!

      I don’t really know how, but if nobody magically spawns with a solution in this thread you could consider asking in !piefed_css@piefed.social :)

      The Amethyst theme in your user settings is mostly a recolored version of the default theme that is pretty popular. You could give that a shot. The HPT themes are a bit more of a departure, but they have lots of fans out there as well.

      The colors are all overwrite-able via custom css in your settings if one of those options doesn’t work. Which elements are you looking to recolor? We use Bootstrap css for the web ui, so you would just need to overwrite the default colors that Bootstrap uses.

    Is it missing the feature to enable/disable notifications on communities/threads or did I just miss it?

    That link should be “x.piefed.social”. ;)

    EDIT

    I’m confused about the Themes bit - did you mean that as in “there are other themes than the default one for regular PieFed, and that’s information that’s unrelated to b.piefed.social”?

    I love Blorp and it’s my default interface/Piefed app on mobile. It looks very polished and thought out.

    That said, I am not happy with typography that modifies contrast for emphasis. It works alright in dim conditions and / or dark mode, but in bright environments the low contrast portions of text become completely invisible, not just unreadable. That’s not Blorp in particular, it seems to be a design trend ATM.

      Blorp dev here. Sorry I missed this. Which UI elements specifically are too low contrast? If you make a list, I can try and fix it.

        Hey Blorp dev! Thanks for the hard work, love using your app!

        The quotes are generally hard to read - the stuff that is marked down with ‘>’. Same contrast for the instance name of the poster and other metadata, but lower contrast there is useful, because it’s normally not necessary information and it’s presented in small quantities. If someone quotes extensively, the giant gray blob is really hard to read in daylight conditions.

    After using it the whole day now I don’t like that you can’t turn off infinite scroll.
