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.

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 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.

Not sure if you are asking for a compact view? Because it does have that.

Wow, can you link it?

Edit: I found it and wow it really is exactly like Apollo!

Woah, wefwef is awesome! Using it now!

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

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

...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?

[–] 5cc913zx@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

This is incredible, thanks for sharing!

[–] BowtiesAreCool@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it's based on?

[–] OtakuAltair@vlemmy.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dev said he just came up with it randomly lol

He made a post on !wefwef@lemmy.world about a possible name change, and some people are suggesting Voyager> wefwef

I think my favorite app is Thunder. Serious RedReader vibes

[–] African_Grey@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.

As an Apollo user I was very (happily) surprised at how familiar this feels, thank you! Interesting note about this app is they have a Dockerfile available which means you could host the PWA/app in your own domain. Looking at the Dockerfile this would be super easy to deploy and update.

Can I connect to other instances apart from 4 preset ones?
