I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

    Wefwef is great! I love the Apollo-export upload feature lets you find similar communities on Lemmy.

    30 mins in and I’ve set up a Lemmy account, logged into Wefwef, added a bunch of subscriptions and now it’s about 85% like I’m still using Reddit. Amazing, and considerably better than I could have hoped for

    Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.

    Memmy has been good to me so far

    I’m happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.

    New favorite way to use lemmy.

    Great design, feels responsive, works everywhere…

    PWAs are great, and for 99% of use cases are more than enough. We need a fake App Store that “installs” PWAs in people devices in a transparent way.

    Also let’s hope Apple is forced to open iOS to alternative rendering engines and complete full features browsers.

    And for a final irony boost, the PWA thing is the “”””original”””” vision for smartphones, at least according to Steve Jobs during the original iPhone keynote. Full circle and stuff.

    Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.

    I’m really digging Wefwef, but I’m an android user so I feel like I’m crossing some weird rubicon of using an Apple UI from a non Apple device.

    I guess what I’m saying… Ladies… Is that I’m dangerous.

    I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back

    It seems to work well enough. I could use a little more information density, I wish I could turn off thumbnails, and a bunch of other nit-pick-y things, but it’s a good start.

        I have the compact view on and the font set to as small as I can. I would love to see the thumbnails turned off and some other extraneous info removed or compacted more. I need that information density!

          I just want a text only app for Lemmy/kbin. No thumbnails, profile pictures, in app preview of posts, or inline comment images.

          I just want post titles, self posts text, and comments.

    It’s really good and well made as well, put in a pull request today to add a feature and getting it setup locally as a dev was so easy!

    I’m very tempted to self host it on my instance as well

    Thanks for the recommendation. This is excellent, and so far it works brilliantly for a a PWA.

    It immediately felt so right that I committed half an hour to really figuring out what this was and how it all worked. Okay to be fair I only kind of know how it all works
