Project: https://github.com/asimons04/tesseract

Demo: https://tesseract.dubvee.org

What it is:

Tesseract is a Sublinks/Lemmy client designed for media-rich feeds and content. It's an alternative front-end that can be hosted on the sh.itjust.works servers side-by-side with the current interface, similar to how oldsh.itjust.works operates.

In addition to the overall improved user experience, it also has enhancements for moderators and instance admins. These are worth checking out, I quite like the modlog.

What I like about it:

  • Improved Media Support in Feed and Posts
  • Community Browser / Enhanced Discovery
  • Better Moderation Tools than Lemmy-UI
  • Alternate Sources Menu (All link posts have a dropdown menu next to the link which contains alternate links to the post URL from Ghost Archive, 12ft, and Archive Today.)

Try it:

An open, public demo instance is available at tesseract.dubvee.org. Try it with your favorite Lemmy instance by changing settings in the Demo Account Page.

Proposal:

I believe this front-end should be included and hosted by SJW as an option, under a unique subdomain.

I agree. Do we have any suggestions for the subdomain name?

Hmm, tesseractsh.itjust.works and tesseract.itjust.works seem a bit long. What about '4', or '4d', as a reference to the mathematical shape of the tesseract?

Alternatively, a simple 't', for 'tesseract' could work nicely.

Bonus question, is there a way to change the default UI to one of these cool front end? Not by logging into alexandrandite or whatever

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think there's a way to do this unfortunately. The server would need some software that can route the requests using the user's preference, a layer above/outside the normal lemmy security.
