  • I agree, liking this project a lot so far.

    I actually started developing a lemmy client in my spare time a few weeks back (got authentication done, posts browsing/detail and commenting) but dropped it when I saw this project.

    There’s also a lot of apps being worked on right now so that helped me decide. Back when I started there were only two and I didn’t really like either of them, I wanted something like Apollo.

    I honestly prefer the PWA approach in this particular case and I rather contribute occasionally to this project than keep building and mantaining mine and dealing with the (small) headaches of publishing to each store.

    PD: Just pushed a small PR to the main branch adding some appearance settings for compact view, not sure if it’ll ever get merged to the project but it’s there.


  • Another guy leaving Reddit here…

    I’ve been looking into the platform the last few days and kinda like the idea of it, but I mainly browse these stuff through my phone and there are not many apps (let alone any mature ones, especially on iOS).

    Mlem looks good but is really basic right now.

    So I decided last night I’m going to give it a try and work on a Lemmy client app in my spare time. Mainly as a coding exercise but mostly because I really want a proper app for this.

    I built this in a few hours and so far the API seems pretty straightforward so I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

    Heavily inspired by Apollo, as you can see 😅
