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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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 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.

    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.
