Just tried it out, it's... weird. Looks like the mobile version but on my desktop, there is even a toggle between Apple/Android UI. It does not feel desktop native to me. I love your mobile app, it's my client for PieFed (even though it's experimental, it works well).
I run an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop with an NVIDIA card, and "flatpak run app.vger.voyager" gives me a white window and the error "Failed to create GBM buffer of size 2400x1600: Invalid argument"
If you run into the same problem, what worked for me is:
flatpak run --env=WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 app.vger.voyager
If you have this same problem and the above command works, you can make the fix permanently with:
flatpak override --user --env=WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 app.vger.voyager
Then "flatpak run app.vger.voyager" will work.
yet again chromium being decades behind by not supporting wayland
I hope comments like this are getting indexed. It sucks that reddit is always the first second and third listing.
Neat!! I'll have to check this out soon
Technology is healing
This has made a tremendous difference on my tablet!
Awesome. I love this app.
Does Voyager have any support for piefed or is it pure lemmy?
Yeaah Voyager supports Piefed. Not all its special features but the main experience :)
This is feeling pretty good.
Great !
Awesome, I had no idea! I'm not by my PC right now, does the app support Wayland natively or does it use X11?
Loving this so far
A minor gripe: scrolling and animations are a bit chunky/not smooth. I can provide my system details over DM if you want
