I designed a Material You app for Lemmy

Hi everybody, I'm a UI/UX designer and I wanna contribute to the community here with my expertise. Here is a quick prototype for a Android Lemmy app with Material You Design, it's a simple and customizable app. With this app, I also want to improve the experience when exploring different servers.

Obviously, this is just a concept, so if any developer interest, I'm very willing to collaborate with 🫡 . Vice versa, if anyone stucks with designing his/her own Lemmy client, just reach out to me and I will give you a hand.

Here is a quick demo of some basic features: https://vimeo.com/843481714?share=copy

And here is the figma file if you wanna take a look: https://www.figma.com/file/ZBR30l0ZcKuyKMPjeDmvdF/Lemmy-Android-app?type=design&node-id=53526-31054&mode=dev

Personally prefer to read the title before the image. It's one of the reasons I don't use the Connect app

The connect app now has that as a setting, if that makes a difference for you.

Noted. I was also considering where should I put the title as well. This is just a quick prototype to find out whether any dev is interested in collaboration, so just take it with a grain of salt 😉

top would be preferable.

often the title is needed in order to understand the picture - or the picture is the "punchline" to a joke set up by the text.

I'm using Connect and your can meme the title be before the image in the settings, that's what I did

Thanks, must be a recent update. I'll check it out!

I've mostly committed to Connect, and can confirm there's an option near the bottom to select where to put the title in relation to the picture.

This is something that has been disturbing me with Thunder app, Connect in their latest versions added a switch for this!

Me too. That's what keeps me on jerboa for now.

I switched to Liftoff. I was on Jerboa for the last few weeks as I figured things out, but liftoff is much smoother and has yet to give me an error code
