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.

    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.

    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

    My biggest question is, will it eventually be an actual app?

      I honestly think that it doesn’t matter - this PWA is so polished I’m forgetting that I’m not using a native app.

    I’m using it right now and it’s really cool!

    …Why isn’t the bookmark button working though?

    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.

    It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don’t. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.

        They never manage to feel native. Keeping data reliably? - Not really possible. Stability? - Fully reliant on the browser. Native notifications, target for sharing stuff, etc.? - Never seen it. …

        It always feels like a compromise.

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

    Yup, that’s Apollo in a web browser.

    Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.

    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.

    I’m an Android user and I never used Apollo, but wefwef is just amazing. It works surprisingly well, especially for a PWA. It will be my app of choice at least until Sync for Lemmy is out.

      I’m holding out for Slide for Lemmy as another Android user. But, wefwef is pretty good so far.

    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
