I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage.
The user experience is very similar to Apollo . Honestly I was a bit afraid if I can switch but now I’m relaxed. This is a great alternative!
Does saving/bookmarks work for anyone? If so, where can you access them?
Saving works in the latest update!!
You should try memmy. It’s better and actually an app.
People should stop praising “an actual app” as an advantage.
There is nothing in functionality that a good PWA can’t do well for a Lemmy client. It’s cross platform and can be used in the browser of your choice, without the lock-in to a single app store.
People are coming from a closed system like Reddit because Reddit abused it’s power and now they’re asking for apps in a store where another company might do the same. I don’t get it.
You’re right — PWAs can be feature rich and versatile. I’m glad they exist.
However, as much as I like wefwef (especially coming from Apollo), I don’t like having the URL bar perpetually taking up real estate like it does on iOS. I’m also much less likely to trigger browser-specific functions if I’m using a dedicated app.
Assuming the Lemmy platform remains open, I don’t have any issue supporting a developer for making a great app for it.
The issue with Reddit is not that devs were making third-party apps for it… it’s with the people running the platform.
It shouldn’t show the URL, have you added wefwef to the Home Screen?
