Dunno. I wasn’t the OP.

arc is developed by The Browser Company. its free, but I don’t believe it’s open source. its basically a UI layer on top of chromium so its performance is about what you would get out of Chrome.

Thank you for the positive feedback! 🙏

One thing I’ve been missing in Mlem (the app I’ve settled on for now) is the fact that comments and posts only show the sum of up/downvotes rather than displaying them individually.

I can certainly explore making individual upvote/downvote numbers visible. Not shown in these screenshots, but there is also an additional context menu (long-press a post or comment) which reveals these stats. But I will make a note to explore making this user configurable from the feed / post views 👍

Also, is the app free/open source? You mentioned a private GitHub repo in a different comment, but do you plan to open it up when you feel confident in the code?

I’m a bit on the fence here. I am a solo developer working on this in my free time, after work and on weekends. My dream has always been to work on my own apps full time similar to Christian Selig did with Apollo for reddit. The app will be free, but may have a “premium” tier for extra functionality. I haven’t decided if I want to open-source or not, but currently it is closed.

I will say that I’m an Admin on the lemm.ee lemmy instance, so I have a vested interest in both upholding my personal reputation, and in making Lemmy the best experience it can be (hopefully via Lemon!) but I completely understand and respect anyone who dislikes or distrusts close sourced software. That’s a completely fair and valid stance to have.

I kind of agree. Hard to take too seriously with that kind of verbiage.

Totally agree! I’m hoping to make it a solid one-hand-use experience.

For themes, we’re only going to have light and dark to start with. But eventually I do want to support user customizable themes. Just something on the roadmap for later.

Thank you! :) what are some features you’re looking for in a lemmy app? I want to make sure I’m focusing on the features the community needs first and foremost.
