Is anyone interested in trying out a beta version of the new Vernissage support in Pixelix?

We will release a beta version on GitHub later today 👀

#Pixelix #Vernissage

The beta release with Vernissage support is now available on GitHub. We would love to hear your feedback.

But please remember that this is a beta version and therefore contains missing features and bugs.

I recently saw a discussion here about hashtags, which inspired me to make a few improvements to #Vernissage. I refined the helper text and added autocomplete suggestions for both hashtags and users as you type. Importantly, hashtags that follow readability and accessibility best practices are now prioritized - making them more likely to be selected by users.

Over the last few days I’ve added push notifications to #Vernissage for iOS. After some initial testing, they’re working really well! I designed it so they work automatically on every instance (including self-hosted ones) without any extra setup, keys, requests, or manual configuration. I’ll keep testing a bit more, and I’m planning to release the new version next week so everyone can use it. 😊

This helps keep the list transparent, up to date, and easy for the community to maintain.

More improvements landed in #Vernissage today! 🎉

The web app now shows a red dot when there are new news to read, while the iOS app displays a panel when you reach photos you’ve already seen.

I also made a few more fixes related to the Angular upgrade and standalone components. If no new bugs appear, version 1.41.0 should be released in the next few days. Thanks for all your feedback! ☺️

#Vernissage 1.41.0 is officially out! 🎉

This is a big release, especially under the hood: Angular 22, a full migration to standalone components, new timeline markers and read markers for articles, category (re)calculation, better email validation, a new indicator for unread news, and a clickable boost/like icons.

Thank you so much for all your support, feedback, and help! ❤️

Pixelix version 5.0.0 with Vernissage support is now available.

This is one of the largest updates we have ever shipped. We refactored a large portion of Pixelix's architecture to support multiple platforms with different feature sets.

Additionally many UI components got a design overhaul.

The APK is available on GitHub.
Play Store, App Store and F-Droid are following soon.

Check it out, and let us know what you think.

Pixelix is now free!

After two and a half years of developing Pixelix and having it as a paid app, we've decided to switch things up and make Pixelix free for everyone.

We’re really excited to see where this takes Pixelix, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us so far.

A lot of new people have joined #Vernissage recently - which is wonderful to see! ❤️ But I haven’t noticed many new patrons.

If you enjoy the platform, please consider supporting it on Patreon. Nothing online is truly free: Big Tech pays the bills with ads, addictive algorithms and your privacy. #Vernissage has none of that - but hosting still costs money.

I’ve also added new Patreon tiers for anyone who’d like to support the project even more. Thank you so much! 😊
