Happy to announce we’ve finally setup some alternative frontends.

Photon might be flaky, we’re on a release candidate because of issue I was running into using it in Firefox. It’s also what I’m using to write this. If you notice any issues, feel free to let us know.

      Nothing related to deployment, but I’ve noticed photon doesn’t let you escape markdown like other clients do.

      E.g. This:

      \>watches french thing  
\>gets mad when it's subversive and weird  
???

      Get’s displayed like this in photon:

          While I have you on markdown, this:

          > test
          >
          > test

          Is currently displaying like a line break with no extra space between the two, rather than as two different paragraphs.

          Other than that - great work. It’s clearly the biggest hit of the frontends that we’ve added.

          Absolutely get that, I’ve been doing some stuff with markdown lately and I didn’t realise I could hate a file format so much. Best of luck, friend.
