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.

    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.

    For real, im shocked with how fluid this feels compared to everything else I have tried today. I get the occasional bad fetch for comments but thats about it so far

    I am trying it now for the first time on Android. But everytime I want to go back with the back button of the navbar, the app quits. Is that intended behavior?

    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.

    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

    Considering that this is a webapp, it gives far better experience than Jerboa, Thunder. Wefwed It is fast and smooth. Jerboa is fast but laggy. Thunder is laggy and smooth.

    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.

    Oh, this is really nice. It’ll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it’ll become my go to way to access Lemmy.

    As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.

    It looks really nice, kind of funny seeing the iOS-UI on Android. But I loved Apollo before switching to Android.
