wefwef for lemmy
wefwef.app
wefwef is a beautiful mobile web client for lemmy. Enjoy a seamless experience browsing the fediverse.

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

    Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.

    Memmy has been good to me so far

        Oh no, is it react native? I haven’t looked as deeply into memmy as I have other betas.

        Truly waiting for a proper native app

            Native apps can utilize the feature of the host OS whereas using a library like react native that compiles down into different code depending on the target platform for that build, will be limited to what react native provides integration with.

            There are sadly many things and as new feature come out those too can be underutilized.

            I’m really generalizing here but if you look into it with that context, you’ll see what I mean.

            I’ve experienced this personally and professionally as I am a senior software engineer and have done my share of app development

            Doesn’t matter what platform you use, you too are affected if the app you use uses an intermediate library to use one code base to generate builds for multiple platforms - react native being one of the most popular currently thanks to ease of use and lots of existing integration

          It’s essentially a web app inside an app wrapper. There’s not really a concern it’s just the original comment said they were waiting for a native app.

          Passing my response to someone asking why I want a native app, as it applies to your question as well:

          So even though you say you are on android, you too are affected if the app you use uses an intermediate library to use one code base to generate builds for multiple platforms - react native being one of the most popular currently thanks to ease of use and lots of existing integration
