Yeah I'm gonna need a new app too. Think Xennial dad at home that just wants an ios app.

We're building an Apollo-style app for Lemmy at https://wefwef.app! It looks and functions just like the original.

I found this today (using it right now).

So far it’s been great! Keep it up!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's amazing! Thank you for sharing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

du you have plans for making a native app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The project owner doesn't I believe. But it's totally possible using something like Tauri.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

ah okay, thank you. Will keep an eye on this

It honestly feels very native, they did an amazing job. Give it a try. Could have totally fooled me it was native if not for the install process being save on homescreen vs download.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s missing some things like integration for imgur and xkcd, where Apollo would show the images in-app, instead of opening the websites or native imgur app separately.

It’s great so far, but the inverted colours for upvote/downvote are confusing. I see blue and think I downvoted.

I love how even details like the collapse are identical. But I’d like the option to change font size and edit comments.

Edit: just notice I can already change font size and edit comments too! 😁

Been using it a while now but one thing missing for me is tapping top edge of screen to scroll to top like all other apps.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you just hit the top of the screen bro lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This isn’t working for me either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still not working here on both iPad and iPhone. All other apps I can touch top of screen and it’ll scroll to top.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On Apollo if you touch the top bar it doesn’t scroll to the top for you? That’s odd because it works for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No, I’m talking about wefwef! :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well that was confusing since the thread was about Apollo lol

I apparently replied to the wrong comment. :)

For a workaround, click on the currently chosen icon in the tab bar at the bottom.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Excellent, that works. Thanks!
