Alexandrite - Lemmy settings, mod tools, scroll to next/previous comment buttons, better markdown editor

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1752539

I've added a bunch of new features to Alexandrite (a third party Lemmy alternate web UI for desktop)!

alexandrite.app - [email protected] - Github

Lemmy Settings

You can now change most of Lemmy's settings (just not language/avatar/banner/2FA/password).

Mod tools

A lot of mod tools were added. You can view reports and be able to do most things except appoint/removing mods and viewing the mod log.

Scroll between top level comments buttons

Floating at the bottom of the page when viewing a post you will now see a little navigation bar that lets you scroll between comments (and a similar one on the post list that lets you scroll to the top of the page).

Better markdown editor

The text editor used when making posts/comments has been upgraded! Now you can find buttons for bold/italic etc, most of the things you can do on the official website.

If you have any issues let me know, or create an issue on Github.

  • I have tried to use this site over the last few weeks and every time I open it, I have to relogin.

    I kind of gave up after repeating it several times.

    • Hmmm I'm not sure what would be causing that. How recently was this? I know lemmy.world had some issues recently where you'd get logged out constantly but that was a week ago.

      Just to be sure, do you have any browser settings to delete browsing history/data when you close you browser? Alexandrite stores your auth token (jwt) in localStorage so if that clears or for whatever reason you'd get logged out. I also migrated how the site interacts with Lemmy and am storing that auth token somewhere different as of a week ago so that would have caused you to get logged out once.

      Anyone else been having this issue?

      • Will give it another try and see if I can replicate it; I didn’t have anything clearing storage past the typical blocking of uBlock/Brave
