Hello! I have made a macOS client for Lemmy - Leomard. It's an initial version of the app, and my first macOS app made for the public.

Features

  • Mac-native client
  • Fast, small and light (only 9.2 MB)
  • Open source (GPLv3)
  • Beautiful responsive interface

Of course, it's a very early version, some features are missing (ex. image uploading), and you may encounter a bug here and there.

Don't forget to follow Leomard's community: !leomard@lemm.ee

Or straight to the project’s Git: https://github.com/Athlon007/Leomard

If you have questions, feel free to ask :)

Hi everybody! This is the initial release of Leomard - a native macOS client app written in Swift using SwiftUI. It’s still in very early phase of development, features are missing, but it’s a start. Feedback is most welcome!

Nice work! I’ve been trying to make a Lemmy app too, so that I could get some SwiftUI practice.

Any tips for working with Lemmy on the backend? The docs have been… not too great for me 😮‍💨

Trial and error. The documentation and many design choices leave a LOT to be desired.

Such as the way the bearer token in GET request is sent in url param, but for the other requests it’s in the body. Why not just use the freaking Header for that?! Or how the Search request’s search query param is called “s” - it is absolutely not explained what it does or remotely indicated that it’s meant for the query.

But hey, if you want, you could help contributing to Leomard :)
