@heyloura Life has a way of effing up our plans, right? Well, then again, that’s life.

And the changes and plans for Lillihub look AWESOME! I am sure I can say for other beta testers, THANK YOU for all you do. I’m looking forward to this one especially:

> I still want to make multiple image posts side-scroll on small screens.

I would add that as a default on all screens but that’s just me. The photos UI/UX is ripe for change. Coincidentally, I posted this in the morning and Also, @cdevroe and @jsonbecker have done some excellent work with lightboxes for images using CSS.

@heyloura Amazing what you were able to accomplish with an infected wisdom tooth. Imagine the possibilities if you had two infected teeth! 🤯 🫣

@holgerfrohloff 😅 I don’t even want to imagine what two would feel like. How about I see what my productivity is like with a lovely location, delicious food, and no interruptions 😆

@pratik Thank you! 😊

I’d really like to figure it out because I do think it would be an improvement. I was checking out some neat CSS Instagram-like photo swipes that I bet I could pull off… It boils down to how aggressive I want to be on the server with processing the posts. Right now I do little things, like switch micro.blog URL’s for lillihub ones if it is a username. But to pull of the photos I’d have to mess with the structure that people provide the blog posts in to make it consistent to apply the effect. Which opens it up to me making some mistakes, like misplacing a bit of text that was meant to stay with a photo. Not sure how big a deal that is 🤔

(at least, that’s the initial thought of how I’d go about it, if anyone has a different suggestion let me know 😄)

@pratik @heyloura the image post thing is doable for sure in something like a web client. Doing it for your own blog would require significant HTML markup, though. tw-elements.com has some great examples of both galleries and carousels.

@jsonbecker @heyloura Yup, I meant it for Loura’s web client.
