This app will mostly be intended for reading, but it'll support multiple profiles, upvoting and commenting.

I currently plan on targeting both desktop and phone usage, with some primitive touch gestures to make it easier. Unfortunately, since this is just a progressive web app, that's going to feel a bit scuffed.

The source code is at https://github.com/diamondburned/slemmy. It's currently not usable for production yet :( but I'm working on it!

This looks really nice, some friends didn't really like the current design of Lemmy and I think I could convince them to use it through a design like yours. Svelte really is a great tool to quickly get something working. I'm currently rewriting another site in SvelteKit as well.

About CORS / WebSocket. I'm not sure where it will be going with the WebSocket API. The main Lemmy project wants to use the WebSocket API less, as it a high performance impact on instances, and it also often seems to break in the PWA.
