I'd like Lemmy to attract a wide range of folks who contribute to a diverse range of communities. While the official web UI is very rich in features, I think it might be a bit intimidating for non-IT people.

So I figured: why not try to be the change I want to see in this world? Here's my attempt, implemented in SvelteKit.

Awesome stuff! More is better, and webUIs are, I think, a better avenue for UI diversity than mobile apps.

Not to detract from your work, but it seems somewhat similar to alexandrite (see their community here), both in the general layout and using svelte. I bring this up just in case you weren't aware and there's any possibility of the two projects being merged or pooled or at least learn from each other in some way.

Otherwise ... awesome work! I'm a fan of columnar layouts!

I think this UI looks neat, totally room out there for both of them! :) I think it actually looks a bit closer to Photon. I'm always down for more apps because we all benefit from new ideas.

Prior to starting my own web UI I considered becoming an Alexandrite contributor. I like how colorful it is compared to the regular web UI. My vision is too different from a technical, design and UX perspective though, so I still think it's worth pursuing a separate effort. I hope it'll pay off.

Awesome! Best of luck!
