I designed a Material You app for Lemmy

a_m@lemmy.ml to Fediverse@lemmy.world – 398 points –

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

Just like wefwef is nice for iOS, this seems nice for android

Wefwef works great on Android. Supposedly it looks like Apollo, but so what?

It very much looks like an iphone app. All the text and the ui elements fit apples theming and looks out of place in android.

Not to say it doesn't work well or isnt a good app, because it is, but a lot of us are looking for a unified experience.

I'm using thunder, which fits in nicely. Uses Material You theming as well

It works well even on my linux desktop. But in terms of design fits best into iOS
