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.
Wefwef is great! I love the Apollo-export upload feature lets you find similar communities on Lemmy.
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
Whatever you do, don’t look at what technologies Memmy uses.
It is. It doesn’t hide read posts, but that’s the only major thing it’s missing.
There is work done one this to hide post, it just needs reviewed and approved. Might need more for read part.
The only thing missing for me after testing for 2 days is the swipe to go back a screen. You need to reach ALLLLLL the way across to the left edge of the screen and drag it ALLLLLL the way to the right to go back to your feed from a post. In Apollo I had it configured to only need a swipe from about the middle of the screen to the right edge. It’s very hard for me to reach that far comfortably and my muscle memory is all messed up right now. I keep doing the short swipe and I upvote someone’s post instead. If they can add this I will be extremely happy.
Edit: Also, I just realized after posting this comment that Apollo also had a feature where you go forward and backward a screen by swiping left or right on the bottom section. Extremely useful as well.
Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.
So far my favourite is Memmy but I really like Wefwef too
Wow, I’ve never heard of wefwef before. For being a web app, it really does have a similar UI to Apollo. And it’s pretty snappy.
I agree, Memmy is still my favorite but I’m going to try wefwef. And I’m still watching Mlem as it develops.
I’m happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.
While the developer(s) has/have done a great job getting a PWA to feel this close to native, it’s still a bit far-fetched to say it “feels exactly like Apollo”.
It’s as if Apollo has been reborn. How wild! I recommend giving wefwef or Memmy a try.
It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it’s based on?
I love it. It’s good beehaw doesn’t allow downvoting though because I accidentally would be downvoting a lot as I try and swipe back
I’m an Android user and I never used Apollo, but wefwef is just amazing. It works surprisingly well, especially for a PWA. It will be my app of choice at least until Sync for Lemmy is out.
Yeah it’s my favorite so far as well!
Memmy and Mlem are great native apps
30 mins in and I’ve set up a Lemmy account, logged into Wefwef, added a bunch of subscriptions and now it’s about 85% like I’m still using Reddit. Amazing, and considerably better than I could have hoped for
It is certainly pretty close and has made moving over to Lemmy just that much easier for me when using my phone.
I don’t really mind the regular interface but just got very used to the Apollo way of things and its nice to have it available.
