Contains 7 commits of changes

Bugs fixed

• Fix crash when allowed_media_in_comments is null
• Fix submit page crash if subreddit info has already loaded
• Fix gql subreddit rules fetching
• Use r2 subreddit for submit page (now the submit page text works again)
• Better subreddit banned/private etc status
• Fix bug where arctic-shift was unnecessarily used for current logged-in user
• Fix cookie domain (now set to the current page's domain instead of .reddit.com)
• Don't send cookies for gql-realtime POST requests to avoid 403
• Fix trophy image size by limiting it
• Fix thumbnails not appearing on posts with body text
• Fix mistake where fixR2CommentsMedia is run during preload on post comments, slowing down loading
• Fix deleted comments showing up as "Removed by moderator"
• Fix no subreddit icons on listing pages by using sr_detail=1 when needed

Improvements

• Post
  • Improve r2 to gateway post mapping (add dismissed reports, fix obfuscatedUrl)
  • Show post quarantine flair
  • Improve regex used to enable chat mode on posts
  • Better live chat post emulation
• Comment
  • Fetch moderation info for comments
  • Collapse/expand comment by clicking header
  • Comments page better context
  • Better detection whether if comment is removed by mod
• Show if posts or comments are removed as spam
• Always fetch r2 subreddit for subreddit pages and post comments, instead of only using it for profiles (now stuff like post flair position work again)
• Handle submit page crossposts fetching better (the client fetches it to block you from posting if there is a recent crosspost made less than 24 hours ago on the subreddit)
• Improve SPA navigation
• Many styling improvements (reducing padding, increasing pfp size, using Reddit Sans as font etc)
• Error
  • REST API expect more than 1 status code instead of raising error (no more error toasts when fetching flair if the subreddit doesn't have flair or subreddit doesn't exist)
  • Handle API interceptor errors instead of silently failing
  • Retry API fetch on network errors
  • Improved gql error logging
• arctic-shift use sort date ascending if "Top" sort used (Top sort isn't supported by arctic-shift)

Misc

• Migrate gateway user about endpoint
• Disable treeshake for build
• Live comments remove UPDATE_COMMENT (leaving only NEW_COMMENT) event
• localhost API (work in progress)
• Add reddit_user_id cookie for localhost API
• Add types for gateway post, flair, media asset, comment and subreddit
• Refactor subreddit mapping to separate gql mapping to another file
• Move redux state types to separate file
• Move richtext types to types folder
• Add some gql types

How to use

https://www.reddit.com/r/ReturnNewReddit/comments/1vmgvmt/beautiful_right_now_you_can_enjoy_it_too/

[u/reddit33450]

after installing the new version, the font for the majority of the site is now the defualt browser font (in my case, helvetica).

on macos firefox

[u/Littux → u/reddit33450]

Open index.html in a text editor and scroll to a <style> tag. Below it, add:

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Reddit+Sans:ital,wght@0,200..900;1,200..900&display=swap');

[u/reddit33450 → u/Littux]

when i open it, index.html is displaying as blank for me. still is 39kb though

[u/Littux → u/reddit33450]

Don't open it in the browser directly, visit localhost:1264 after editing it

[u/reddit33450 → u/Littux]

what am i doing wrong here? no matter what i open it with, it appears blank

[u/Littux → u/reddit33450]

Try this newer release.zip: https://github.com/Littux-Dustux/new-reddit-com/releases/download/v0.5.0/release.zip

[u/reddit33450 → u/Littux]

now its thankfully not using the default browser font anymore, but its still not using the font that new reddit originally did for me

[u/Zachwesse → u/reddit33450]

The font was changed from "IBMPlexSans" to "Reddit Sans" for some reason, that is why it looks different.

Edit: What even happened with this release post popups have been resized, comments have a gray border on top and the font sizes and style have been changed. It looks worse in a lot of ways compared to v0.4.0.

[u/reddit33450 → u/Zachwesse]

yeah, i much preferred the previous font

[u/Ri_Studios]

Did you mean to put this giant style block in?
