      Give MudBlazor a try, I’ve found it surprisingly easy to develop half decent UIs that don’t feel too boilerplate without much customisation

        I’ve been using MudBlazor on my last few small projects. With the MAUI template, Blazor is quickly replacing WPF and MVVM hell for me.

    Figuring out how to actually put a package on nuget, but I have fully implemented the API

    https://github.com/SlyCedix/dotNETLemmy/tree/main
    https://slycedix.github.io/dotNETLemmy/

    I intend to write a mobile app using Avalonia UI using it

    Do note, it’s mostly untested so there’s a good chance a handful of the datatypes won’t serialize or deserialize correctly, but that’s an easy fix once found

    edit: Uploaded to nuget, currently being validated

    https://www.nuget.org/packages/dotNETLemmy.API/0.0.1

      Just out of interest, why not use refit for something like this? You could get a basic client going much faster - unless there’s some specific behaviour you want for the client (which would require painful customisation with refit).

      I’ve come to be quite a fan of refit recently purely for how quick you can get a basic, working client

        I like refit too! It’s super nice, but very quickly i realised the API does some weird undocumented stuff and isn’t very consistently implemented. I feel more comfortable doing the boilerplate my myself (chatgpt helps) while i figure out the funk.

          Ah, that’s fair - haven’t encountered anything weird with it yet. I can imagine with chatgpt it’s become much easier though - I need to start giving AI tools a try. Do you have a particular set up for using chatgpt with rider or anything?

    That’s a good idea. I would like to experiment with some ideas where one could have an RSS reader together with a lemmy client. But the ideas are too raw and I’m not yet sure if it’s feasible.

    Maybe I misunderstood, but it sounds like you are looking for “team mates” to develop a lemmy client. Or was it just a suggestion to others?

      Well, honestly- I am a backend person. I can build a functional UI, it’s just not pretty. (Its going to be very vanilla bootstrap-ish)

      As well, in terms of unit testing, I have done tons of it for back-end, but, very little for front-end.

      So- assuming I dedicated the time to start building libraries to interact with lemmy, I’d need some help on the front end, at least, for a product that would receive use outside of my homelab.

        That makes sense. Same here (backend dev). Good luck with the project. Keep us posted! Maybe it will attract some designers over time.
