It might not help because it’s in svelte and it doesn’t look like you’re using lemmy-js-client, but this is an example of how I do it in Alexandrite using lemmy-js-client. The onPaste function handles the paste event on the markdown editor textarea when someone pastes with an image in their clipboard, and the onFileInputChange is the change event for an <input type="file" /> element so when someone selects a file it uploads and the input’s label can be styled like a button. Here is the client’s fetch function which handles the authorization header and whatnot. You can upload client-side without a proxy server for any instance running a newer version of Lemmy than like… 0.19.0? I didn’t want to be responsible for proxying image uploads so I waited to add image uploading in Alexandrite until I could do the uploads directly client side.

Good to know!

I can see how many unique users view the site in 1, 7, or 30 days, and I think after a year of no updates the 7 day average is pretty close to what it was still. Nice to see so many people liking my site!

This was the most glaring missing basic feature for so long, glad it’s finally in, I don’t have to go back to the default ui just to write my announcement posts anymore. It wasn’t possible to upload images from third party websites last time I was actively working on Alexandrite, and I think it’s been possible for quite a long time by now and I’m finally getting to it.

Would the tags be visible to everybody or is it meant to serve like an admin only note taking system?

Eventually I do want to implement a light theme, but it’ll probably be a bit!

(dev here) I totally understand that, I wish Lemmy had that or oauth, I don’t like handling passwords just as much as you don’t want me to!

I use Imagus and it doesn’t work well with Alexandrite, I was trying to find some documentation on if I could support Imagus from the website side somehow, like attributes to provide non-thumbnail image URL hints but I hadn’t found documentation yet.

I’ve been meaning to try building something similar into Alexandrite at some point otherwise.

I mostly browse on desktop, but wasn’t a big fan of the main site, so I made my own one called Alexandrite that I think is more convenient to use. I use Voyager on my phone and I’m excited for Sync to release.

If anyone’s curious here’s one of my announcement posts, and another that includes mod tools.
