Anyone want to collaborate on a new Lemmy UI? Built in Svelte

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 118 points – 1 years ago

There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.

Would love some help if anyone is interested.

Now that I'm seeing more third party apps popping up, I wonder if there is appetite for a native desktop or mobile app

Would there be any benefits over just using browser based sites? Honestly I don't see any need for that. It's another thing on mobile, but we have senora already for that.

Eh you're probably right, Lemmy web UI is actually pretty speedy and functional already

No. If it can do everything it needs to do in the browser, then that's where it should stay.
