I spent the last few hours removing the existing frontend, adding the new scaffolding (partially based on Loops) and creating reusable components based on our new design system to keep everything consistent.
Performance has improved noticeably by removing middleware that checked 2FA and valid email on every request, as we now handle that during authentication.
Can't wait to ship this ASAP, and for the Loops fam, I'll be back 😎
I'm having a lot of fun working on the new Pixelfed web redesign.
Not only is it so much prettier and cleaner, but it's also so much faster and responsive.
Remember Loops webUI in 2024 and how much better it is now?
Yeah, it's like that, but even better.
I'm not going to tease screenshots, I'd rather ship this ASAP so you can see yourself.

The fediverse is working well directly on my site. No need for a single user #Mastodon or #Pixelfed instance. I can follow people, boost, repost, compose short and long form posts and photography… and yep, I can still block and unfollow if need be! So cool!
