Are you interested in a (cross platform) desktop app for lemmy?
I just managed to get a absolute baseline working app in avaloniaUI using this library that someone cooked up. No idea if the library is actively maintained, but uh, we'll figure that out when we get to it.
Compared to using the site, possible advantages of a desktop are:
- Being able to save posts offline
- Client side filtering
- performance
- less data usage
- Not having to use your browser
Other things too, I'm sure. Just trying to gauge interest here. Also I barely know avalonia or C# so just don't expect a polished app out by next monday.

Time to look at Voyager: !voyagerapp@lemmy.world It's very Apollo'ish.

Been on voyager for weeks. Honestly the amount the damn app crashes on the phone, I am considering looking for something better, but if it has an application for my mac I will give it another chance.
Huh? No crashes here. I'm using the app that's on the Apple app store.
yes, the one on the app store. It freezes, and has to be reloaded. Also it often refuses to show newer content for a few days. Just shows the same twenty or so articles on the home screen, even after reloading.
It is annoyingly buggy, basically.
