Yo! I've been working on a few new things.

First of all, I added support for some of Lemmy's settings. You can now change most things (except for languages, avatar/banner images, 2FA).

I also added a new markdown editor I built this morning. It's pretty similar to the one on the official UI, but at least in my little experimenting it feels a bit less buggy. Nonetheless I wouldn't be surprised if there are some issues so please let me know if you run into any problems! It doesn't yet have hotkeys (like ctrl+b for bold, etc), I plan to add those later.

I wanted to add image uploading, but unless I want to proxy all image uploads like Voyager does I'm going to have to wait for a solution to lemmy#3567.

Edit: I added hotkeys for bold and italics, whatever the normal one for your OS is.

Bonus new feature!

Now if you search for a community name like [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) in the search bar in the header it will go directly to that community instead of doing a search.

Figured this would be helpful because you can easily copy this from sites like Lemmyverse or from the sidebar when you're viewing a community on a Lemmy instance you're not logged in on.

I might add more of these shortcuts in the future, but this is a start!

That's a really nice thoughtful feature
