I just managed to get a absolute baseline working app in avaloniaUI using this library that someone cooked up. No idea if the library is actively maintained, but uh, we'll figure that out when we get to it.

Compared to using the site, possible advantages of a desktop are:

  1. Being able to save posts offline
  2. Client side filtering
  3. performance
  4. less data usage
  5. Not having to use your browser

Other things too, I'm sure. Just trying to gauge interest here. Also I barely know avalonia or C# so just don't expect a polished app out by next monday.

Just note that you can use Liftoff on desktop, and I think thunder too, but not sure.

That mobile UI doesn't really cut it

Why's that? I actually find all the desktop apps shows the Post's imgs/gifs as a small thumbnail, which I don't like when scrolling the feed. For me everything there works well and pretty convenient.
