Can we use WebGPU to compute real-time global illumination with surface patches called surfels? Does it look good enough? Is it fast enough? And can we finally construct viable compute-heavy rendering pipelines right here on the open web? Join me on this journey and let's find out!
[2026] Roadmap
Planned changes - Offline mode (view posts, comment, vote all offline with an offline engine that tracks everything and performs the actions once network is established). - Setup wizard. - Extremely out of date version check? (Eg. if the app version you are using is over x versions out of date) - Export tables as part of export settings. Currently there is a limitation for the import/export settings feature. It only supports settings which are represented as key-value pairs. However some settings are represented as lists and these are stored in tables in a db. This change will require the app to know how to import/export a table as well as possible showing this option to the user. - Revisit the “more options” menus. Some of them are getting too long. Specific user requests - Take screenshot from post feed. - Add “I’m feeling lucky” button. Not sure where to add this. Maybe on the “Search” screen somewhere. - Allow users to choose to check unread counts for more than just the current account. Also surface the unread counts for other users somehow. - Add option to navigate by side bar (like the OG apps from material 1) - Add some way to indicate a community is one you are subscribed to everywhere in the app. Eg. When searching for a community in the community selector, in the suggestions window when drafting a post/comment or in the seaech community screen in multicommunity or filter by community in search. - https://lemmy.world/post/27467193 [https://lemmy.world/post/27467193] - add option to import communities from Reddit - add setting to separate recent communities, bookmarks and history by account. - https://lemmy.world/post/27608794 [https://lemmy.world/post/27608794] - each post in the feed should have a ‘mark as read’ button I can tap easily, when hit post auto hides. - a button that scrolls down kind of like the scroll to next comment thread functionality, with the up and down buttons, BUT it scrolls the main feed screen by a page at a time. - https://lemmy.world/post/29147076/16965825 [https://lemmy.world/post/29147076/16965825] - add FAB quick action to refresh the post feed. - add setting to download file to folder based on community: https://lemmy.world/comment/17081662 [https://lemmy.world/comment/17081662] - https://lemmy.world/comment/16965825 [https://lemmy.world/comment/16965825] - think about how to support sharing as a ULR and as a “mention”. - share image URL via unproxied link. Details: https://lemmy.world/post/29634477 [https://lemmy.world/post/29634477] - add search options to search by special feeds such as subscribed, local, or moderator view. - Inline embeds similar to Discord/Slack - https://lemmy.world/post/30227433 [https://lemmy.world/post/30227433] - Sports Mode.

(needs research) - Support Mbin? - Sync between devices? - Turn chat in Summit into a “first class” feature.
