So, I built a web client with some experimental and questionable design choices. I spent the whole weekend on it, so it's pretty much a finished product*. The project isn't very serious, but maybe I'll keep working on it.
~*only the feed works, and it works poorly.~
diehard oldreddit user, but that is so ugly. I love it
you might like to know about https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym, it's literally old.reddit.com ported to lemmy.
would love to poke at it, but does not seem to work via Tor with JS disabled. :´(
however, thumbs up to the idea of new, "interesting" frontends!
Yeah, I'd love to have some kind of full SSR solution that doesn't require scripts at user's end, but it's probably not possible with this.
I wish there were more people building frontends. Since Lemmy is properly decentralized, there's a lot of potential for interesting instance diversity.
This is funny and cool! I like the tiled/grid view even more after giving the demo a look. Not sure why but the instance sidebar as shown in the screenshot isn't displaying in the demo on my end (Firefox), but probably related to being a weekend whip-up.
Still with the spirit of this as you mention in another comment, would love to see more experimental and strange frontends. It'd be fun to see more of the different Lemmy instances/sites with unique looks to distinguish themselves.
The sidebar's gone because I removed it :)
I'll try to incorporate that info elsewhere. At this stage, a lot can change on a whim.
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
