Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.

After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.

Here's some screenshots:

I'll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name "Lem".. but really open to ideas here.

Looking great, can't wait to test it! Nothing against Jerboa for the time being, but alternatives are always welcome. Been testing summit yesterday that someone posted as well, and I think every app has some unique features about it, so let's see where the journey goes.

Ideally I'd love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P

As for the name, isn't Lem a bit short? Not that I dislike it, but in terms of being properly searchable on google and the likes it might be better to go for a longer, unique search string, else it could get a bit cluttered.

Should have a testable android APK on the repo tomorrow and I'll work on getting the iOS app out for people to sideload.

Over all it works pretty well, there's a few bugs but it's a solid foundation!

Yeah I suck at names, I'll keep thinking

Sounds awesome! Do you have a link to the repo so I can follow you there?

I have good news for you. Sync for Lemmy is happening!

I second Lem being too short unless op plans on doing a lot of SEO or making people search Lem for Lemmy.
