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.

It immediately felt so right that I committed half an hour to really figuring out what this was and how it all worked. Okay to be fair I only kind of know how it all works

As an Apollo user I was very (happily) surprised at how familiar this feels, thank you! Interesting note about this app is they have a Dockerfile available which means you could host the PWA/app in your own domain. Looking at the Dockerfile this would be super easy to deploy and update.

This is incredible, thanks for sharing!

Considering that this is a webapp, it gives far better experience than Jerboa, Thunder. Wefwef It is fast and smooth. Jerboa is fast but laggy. Thunder is laggy but smooth.

I could kiss you OP. This is the best recommendation ever!

[-] DJDarren@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, this is really nice. It'll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it'll become my go to way to access Lemmy.

It looks really nice, kind of funny seeing the iOS-UI on Android. But I loved Apollo before switching to Android.

[-] Riyria@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.

[-] Natha@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.

[-] Nyla_Smokeyface@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I'm using it right now and it's really cool!

...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!

I am trying it now for the first time on Android. But everytime I want to go back with the back button of the navbar, the app quits. Is that intended behavior?

[-] lastweakness@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

No it isn't. Works as intended for me on both Firefox and Brave.

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

Since an update this morning it is working fine.

[-] kraise@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.

It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it's based on?

Can I connect to other instances apart from 4 preset ones?

I think my favorite app is Thunder. Serious RedReader vibes

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

Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.
