Developing a new Lemmy mobile client!
(lemmy.world)
After using Apollo for years, yesterday I decided to completely stop using Reddit for obvious reasons.
I found Lemmy to be a very competent alternative, but the only catch is the mobile situation: it seems that there aren't many good mobile clients for Lemmy.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands and develop a new mobile client for Lemmy.
After a couple hours, I have a good looking and working subscription feed; super glad to see that the API is easy to use :)
What do you think about the look of the app? Any suggestions?
Looks nice, but I wonder if the upvote and comment icons aren’t a bit too small/compact for touch.
Also a question: what do you intend to do differently than the Mlem app?
I think mainly design, this app will feature Material design, rather than the look of iOS. Going to implement certain features so that it feels right and home in an iPhone.
However if you prefer the regular iOS theme, there should be other alternatives, like mlem.
In the end, it's just personal choice, and having multiple options is great for all of us :)
An iOS app without adhering to iOS design guidelines and looking like android wont be popular with iOS users 😉.
I personally must have iOS design and all bells and whistles. Else it won’t feel at home.
