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.

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

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 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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.

This is incredible, thanks for sharing!

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.

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

This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah it’s my favorite so far as well!

Memmy and Mlem are great native apps

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?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Dev said he just came up with it randomly lol

He made a post on [email protected] about a possible name change, and some people are suggesting Voyager> wefwef

I think my favorite app is Thunder. Serious RedReader vibes

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years 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.
