So I’m looking for a new client, specifically mobile, that’s FOSS, easy to use, allows for browsing communities on other instances easily (not just searching for instances, but actually viewing the list of instances, etc).
I’m a dev, so happy to put some legwork into it myself. So my question is - technically, is the UI tied to being run on an instance “directly”, or could it be detached, electron- or atom-ified and put into an app?
I can do the work, but before starting I’d like to know :-)
Its not tied to a specific instance, but have you had a look at the multiple mobile clients that exist already?
The last thing Lemmy needs in another mobile client.
Maybe contribute to https://github.com/aeharding/voyager ?
I’ve tried most of them . The ones that work the way I want, especially for easy portable UI/UX design are closed source. Sadly, none of them have a nice workable UI for easy use, or if they do, they’re really poor in another area.
This does all I want, with a nice UI and works nicely on mobile (with a few sizing tweaks).
I’m going to add to my comment above - this is for me. If someone else wants to use it, great.
