Oh man, the new Pixelfed app keeps getting better and better!
I’m now finishing up Push Notifications support, which is the most requested feature besides share intents (which I shipped earlier tonight)
Not only is it fast, lightweight and open source, but also packed with many long overdue features like Push Notifications 😎
It’s everything you wanted, plus more ✨

@shlee Yes! Android alpha this weekend 👀
:PUA: Shlee fucked around and
@dansup both iOS and Android coming soon?
pixelfed
@brunomiguel @dansup @fdroidorg Yes!
We have our own F-Droid repo, but we plan to submit our app to the official one now that it's fully open source and AGPL licensed!
PS: F-Droid, we love you 😘
Bruno Miguel
@dansup will you make it available on @fdroidorg ?
dansup
@brunomiguel @pixelfed Yes, we will default to system color mode (either light or dark) but you will have the option to force a preference, and that color mode preference will be shared across devices and web/apps so you have a consistent experience no matter what option you choose!
Bruno Miguel
@pixelfed @dansup are you considering adding the option to choose light or dark mode when opening the app for the first time? I actually prefer the light mode in Pixelfed's app, but it would've been nice to be able to preview it before choosing and logging in.
Also, are you considering using a dark shade of grey, like #222, instead of full black? It's the only reason I'm not using the dark mode, because it causes some eye strain for me.
Bruno Miguel
@pixelfed that's great to know! but now I have one more task on my list: add your repository to my list of repositories :cutewink: @dansup @fdroidorg
dansup
@brunomiguel @pixelfed We think so too, but it get's even better!
We standardized an API for this so 3rd party apps can implement this too, that way you can use any (supported) app and it will remember your preference!
This goes beyond dark mode btw, there are other settings we remember across apps like the ability to disable CW and show all media, or force yourself to add alt text to media before you can post!

@brunomiguel @pixelfed Yes, we have https://translate.pixelfed.org and will be overhauling our translations so the app can share the translation strings!
Bruno Miguel
@dansup @pixelfed apologies for making so much questions, but is localization on the table long-term?
dansup
@brunomiguel @pixelfed Oh I see, that looks really nice!
The main colors for dark mode can be found here:

I am refactoring the entire webUI, but for now I'm focused on the mobile app.
I should be able to get to this in a few weeks, so feel free to remind me in mid June about this!

@pixelfed @dansup here's an example of what I might by a dark shade of gray and not full black. I have a custom userstyle for pixelfed.social, because I like browsing it with the dark mode on but the default is too dark and causes me eye strain
