Early demonstration of an in progress PWA client for Lemmyhttps://github.com/Zetaphor/Zemmy-web/

cross-posted from: https://zemmy.cc/post/79525

I currently have 4 different Android clients for Lemmy installed on my phone and none of them are what I’m looking for. Additionally I’ve tried 3 different PWA’s and they’re still not what I want out of a browsing experience.

So I’ve decided if nobody else is going to make what I’m looking for I’ll have to do it myself. This is an early preview of the current unnamed client I’m working on.

It will be a PWA supporting Android and iOS, though I don’t own any Apple products so support will be in so far as they don’t do dumb stuff to break PWA standards. It’s open source and will be free to use.

Currently the dev environment is hardcoded to my personal instance as CORS support is restricted in the Lemmy server until a future release. This means all PWA’s are actually proxying your requests through their server in order to rewrite the origin header. I don’t intend to release this until CORS support is fully resolved which should be soon.

I need help with a name! I was considering Infinity since I’m using that for the loading symbol, but there’s already a reddit client with that name and I don’t want to poach it if they decided to transition to Lemmy.

I’ve decided on Loops for the name!

i laughed when i saw the nazi get punched, and i went dead silent when i saw Nina.
