It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone's wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it's a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn't support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

I built a FFox add-on called Mullem which basically simulates a multi-reddit like experience. It's quite basic so I'd love to see the same functionality in Alexandrite :)

Nice! What, and run you out of a job? No way! :P

I'll put it on my todo list and try and brainstorm how I might do that (no promises though!)

Hahahaha :)

Mine's limited (no login, pulls and combines RSS feeds via a 3rd party server due to CORS etc) but yeah - just a thought :)

You might not need the proxy stuff anymore. I believe Lemmy 0.18.1 added more permissive CORS settings, which is why I was able to move all of Alexandrite's API usage client side.

Oh really? That's interesting - I'll have a look into it, thanks :)
