What windows desktop apps are there for Lemmy?

No metro apps, I'm thinking of something like Whalebird is for mastodon, but for Lemmy. I'm looking for something that would allow me to be logged in to all my lemmy instances at once and allow me to have one single column that allows me to switch between them.

I think your best options are mlmym or alexandrite installed as a PWA from your browser. I think Liftoff also has a native app for Windows but I've only tried it on Android.

what's wrong with multiple tabs on a browser?

Also you can access most instances with one account.

I'm curious just in general about desktop apps. This exists for Linux, it might be buildable under Windows https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.lemmygtk.lemoa.

I thought about writing a cross platform Qt/KDE one (like https://flathub.org/apps/org.kde.tokodon) but for Lemmy instead of Mastodon... Not sure if I'll do that or not, a lot of work for sure :)

Just don't make it a metro app on windows, make it a real app for windows. I hate the microsoft store with a burning passion, everything on there is just a lesser version of the real thing, and 90% or more of the metro-apps on there don't even work.
