I've written a concept of a lemmy app

I’m really excited to share it. Before diving into development and investing more time into this project, I would love to hear your thoughts and get some initial feedback on the app’s look.

If this concept receives enough positive interest, I plan to invest further by acquiring a domain and making it available for public use. It will be open source as well.

Thanks in advance!

Personally I love it. It's so different than what I normally see, and I think that's great cause it stands out and adds value. I'm imagining a dark mode with those colors as well!

Thanks, dark mode is on my to-do list for this app :)

It's eye catching because the bright primary colors are really different from what you see in a lot of apps today! I do think the pressed bookmark button is not immediately visually apparent, so I would suggest maybe making it slightly desaturated or otherwise more obviously different from the two next to it.

Thanks for feedback, I'll work on those buttons

Don't crop the pictures, pleeeeeease 🙏

So many of the apps do this, forcing you to click on the thumbnail to see the entire picture when scrolling. Maybe have a setting for people those that want the cleaner look.

I don't, I just selected more horizontal picture to show buttons underneath :)

And for people who prefer cleaner look there will be compact mode too

Thank you

Looks very pretty. I wouldn't personally use without a dark theme. Light can be overstimulating to some including those on the spectrum.

Improvement: It takes up a lot of space on activities not commonly done. Updates/source code/logout/settings/support/report issue. I'd hamburger these away.

Thanks for feedback, I'll keep it in mind

I love this!! It reminds me of a comic book

Sure, why not. You should collaborate with the dev of Lemming, which looks promising but the colors are just terrible.

Thanks for feedback.

From what I found on Lemming's GitHub, we have different tech stack and goals. I plan to support all platforms including desktop to provide familiar experience everywhere thanks to PWA technology.

If you want to know, colors in my app are from tailwind css palette: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#default-color-palette

Oh so that's pwa? Like wefwef? Alright then.

starman@programming.dev · 1 pts · 3y

Yes, exactly.

What do you mean? Lemming UI is awesome, it might be my favorite UI as of right now.

TheVampireSaga@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
