Just installed it. It looks like Apple's UI, which gives it a kind of uncanny valley on my Android phone. Will use alongside Liftoff until I like one better, thanks for mentioning it!
Itβs based on Ionic, I believe and Android UI is on the roadmap.
After having used it for a few hours, I like Wefwef's Apple design, or at least I like it better than Material You. Material makes me so uncomfortable with its wide spacing and white rounded content tiles. I could get used to this dark mode Apple design style, though it feels strange at first.
I don't mind it, it feels pretty clean. Probably helps that I haven't touched an iPhone since 2015 or so, so I'm not terribly familiar with Apple's design language anyway.
It does feel clean. I don't mind it either now, it just was weird at first because it felt like I was on a friend's phone.
Update: I won't be staying on Wefwef because it keeps causing Firefox Nightly to crash and not saving my spot when I switch apps, and I'm not willing to get the Firefox stable release again because the way it reloads pages every time you switch apps drives me mad.
Also, it seems to cache images so that you can open them immediately upon tapping, rather than having to wait for the image to load after your explicit tap for it to do so. I really liked this at first, but it comes at the cost of taking around eight full seconds to load everything, as compared to one or two seconds with Liftoff and Connect.
I do wish Liftoff and Connect had the compact view with image/link previews that Jerboa and Wefwef have, though.
I installed wefwef via chrome (wich i don't use, but it's preinstalled on my Phone) and this way it works fine, very fine.
