I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.

Memmy has been good to me so far

Whatever you do, don’t look at what technologies Memmy uses.

[-] Liempong_pagong@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm on android, but this got me curious.

What technology does memmy use, and why is it a concern?

[-] andrew@radiation.party 1 points 1 year ago

React native, so it’s not really a concern. Just poking fun.

[-] fades@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

Oh no, is it react native? I haven’t looked as deeply into memmy as I have other betas.

Truly waiting for a proper native app

Native apps can utilize the feature of the host OS whereas using a library like react native that compiles down into different code depending on the target platform for that build, will be limited to what react native provides integration with.

There are sadly many things and as new feature come out those too can be underutilized.

I’m really generalizing here but if you look into it with that context, you’ll see what I mean.

I’ve experienced this personally and professionally as I am a senior software engineer and have done my share of app development

@fades @African_Grey do you know if any more beta slots have been upened up for Memmy? I'm trialing Mlem right now but there's no iPad version
