Another guy leaving Reddit here..
I've been looking into the platform the last few days and kinda like the idea of it, but I mainly browse these stuff through my phone and there are not many apps (let alone any mature ones, especially on iOS).
Mlem looks good but is really basic right now.
So I decided last night I'm going to give it a try and work on a Lemmy client app in my spare time. Mainly as a coding exercise but mostly because I really want a proper app for this.
I built this in a few hours and so far the API seems pretty straightforward so I'm cautiously optimistic about it.
Heavily inspired by Apollo, as you can see ๐
The web is okay, kind of, but the mobile apps (what I mainly use to browse this stuff) are sorely lacking, especially on iOS.
I decided to write my own client (mostly for myself) and so far the API seems very straightforward. Might eventually publish it to the stores, if its mature enough.
It's heavily based on Apollo (in case it wasn't obvious). One might even call it a rip-off ๐
What I'd really like to work on after the basic navigation is done is discoverability. I think the platform really needs some improvement there.
