https://wefwef.app is amazing. PWA and hence cross-platform.

[-] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

I've got it installed as a PWA (Firefox Android). It's great but is there any way to get it to open links in my proper browser rather than the web view type thing?

[-] kenbw2@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Android Firefox user here. You should be able to three dots > open in Firefox when it opens the web view

[-] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah but I have to do that every time.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Just installed it. It looks like Apple's UI, which gives it a kind of uncanny valley on my Android phone. Will use alongside Liftoff until I like one better, thanks for mentioning it!

[-] Pechente@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

It’s based on Ionic, I believe and Android UI is on the roadmap.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

After having used it for a few hours, I like Wefwef's Apple design, or at least I like it better than Material You. Material makes me so uncomfortable with its wide spacing and white rounded content tiles. I could get used to this dark mode Apple design style, though it feels strange at first.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Update: I won't be staying on Wefwef because it keeps causing Firefox Nightly to crash and not saving my spot when I switch apps, and I'm not willing to get the Firefox stable release again because the way it reloads pages every time you switch apps drives me mad.

Also, it seems to cache images so that you can open them immediately upon tapping, rather than having to wait for the image to load after your explicit tap for it to do so. I really liked this at first, but it comes at the cost of taking around eight full seconds to load everything, as compared to one or two seconds with Liftoff and Connect.

I do wish Liftoff and Connect had the compact view with image/link previews that Jerboa and Wefwef have, though.

I installed wefwef via chrome (wich i don't use, but it's preinstalled on my Phone) and this way it works fine, very fine.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I don't mind it, it feels pretty clean. Probably helps that I haven't touched an iPhone since 2015 or so, so I'm not terribly familiar with Apple's design language anyway.

[-] radix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It does feel clean. I don't mind it either now, it just was weird at first because it felt like I was on a friend's phone.

[-] kairo79@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I also like wefwef the most, so far. But is there a way to hide the posts that i have watched, so that i don't see 90% of the same content everytime i open lemmy?

[-] Pechente@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

You can swipe on posts to reveal more options and one of them is to hide it.

[-] meiti@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

wefwef is fantastic

[-] Amex@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Where are you guys installing this from? Obtanium says it can't find a suitable release. And it's not on Play Store or F-Droid.

[-] Pechente@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

It's a PWA. You can just install it with your browser.

[-] Amex@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thanks, I did that using Chrome. Is there a way to auto update it? I do like how smooth it scrolls! Even compared to Jerboa.

[-] Pechente@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

It shows you a banner when an update is available and you can tap a button to install it. Not sure if there’s a more automated way.
