I’d like Lemmy to attract a wide range of folks who contribute to a diverse range of communities. While the official web UI is very rich in features, I think it might be a bit intimidating for non-IT people.
So I figured: why not try to be the change I want to see in this world? Here’s my attempt, implemented in SvelteKit.
This looks nice, could it be used in any browser? I use Safari and it has a pretty dumb support for extensions.
I don’t have macOS/iOS available to test on, but in theory it should. I have a prototype up and running at https://lemminator.netlify.app/.
Thank you, I am gonna check it out!
I tested it and I think it looks lit, all I want from a Lemmy web UI for desktop is to mimic how good the apps for Android/iOS does, in the meaning of having big ass images without clicking anything else to expand them every single time, I mean, you would think most folks have big ass monitors in use already (I don’t but at least is bigger than my smartphone screen).
Only feature I have yet to see on this kind of frontends is the ability to mark posts as read while you scroll and hide them as well (like you can with Summit and Voyager).
Another thing I am not a fan of the dark mode, maybe if you could tweak the interface would be good.
Overall I think I’m gonna be rocking your frontend when it gets released because I think yours fit more with my taste and needs :)
