Infinity dev is not making one. If the API shim works well it'll get forked by someone (it's open source) and it will work with Lemmy.
I thought about doing something similar as a labor of love but realized I've currently got dozens of projects in the works and would never really have the time. Between that and how shitty a very vocal minority of people can be to developers, I lost interest very quickly.
I like Jerboa in fact I made this post from Jerboa. Just wanted to draw attention to large amount of new third part clients that has been getting announced lately
Yea i can ses the similarities, but i keep trying to swipe on things and it doesnt do anything
Sync for lemmy is coming and ill probably jump back to that, especially if its open source. Else i hope the jerboa folks take some more design cues from the other apps to make the whole ux feel a bjt quicker/easier
Ha, I come from Infinity and I also keep trying to swipe on stuff out of force of habit. Would love some more options regarding or else other apps to get a hit more variety in the future, but I get this is all still in its infancy.
A robed man stands in the desert on a planet. The text below him says Lemmy API. Several AT-AT like robots are shown with red lasers firing at the robed man. Each robot has the text of an In development Lemmy app below it
It's alright but one big issue I've been having with it is the app not keeping my place when going back from viewing a post. Like I'll be viewing some community by top of all time and when I'm 15 posts deep I'll click one, go back and it resets me to the top of the list. Becomes very tedious scrolling all the way back down after every single post
I just want to take a minute to appreciate and thank the kind sould that created and supported Jeroba even befor reddit dumpster fire. Thank's to you I now have a very good option!
Been playing around with Limbo as well. Limbo is a bit ahead of Memmy in terms of allowing management of multiple accounts, but Memmy seems more lightweight on my iOS device.
I have already tried thunder BTW. Nice interface, glitchy though and what stops me from using it over jerboa is not being able to sort by top day. TBF they have made remarkable progress in a short amount of time.
I like Jerboa personally. I use the web app for kbin and quickly get annoyed and go back to lemmy on jerboa. But then I'm back to kbin because kbin's /all/hot sort works properly and lemmy's, while improving, is more like /all/rising.
I am actually working on one myself with. Net Maui blazor to be able to provide the same ui in browser and native on all mobiles and desktops (Mac, ios, Android, Windows,... With out Linux)
Well I just started a few days ago and spent a few hours so there isn't a lot of a base.
But yeah I'd love to someone to join me. Would be my first open source project.
But be warned I am learning to code for only two years ("Ausbildung zum Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung" in german) so it probably would be more like me contributing to your project.
If you're still interested I'll setup a github project and send you the link.
Haha i wanted to contribute to get better at C#. While ive done dev work for a while now i dont know c# or maui at all so figured i could learn by contributing.
It’s hard to explain but for example see the difference of using Reddit web vs Apollo. Native apps have native system gestures and UI elements built in that generally feel a lot better to use.
TL;DR: big elements cause annoying scroll-bars to appear.
My username is very big, so when I open this page on a mobile I get a horizontal scroll-bar for the entire page.
In CSS there's a property called overflow which lets you decide how you want elements that contain elements wider or taller than them to behave. So you can solve this problem by simply making that element itself scroll instead of the entire page by using overflow: scroll, or hide the child elements by using overflow: hidden;.
You can also solve these problems by dealing with the child elements for example: using the word-wrap property to allow word wrapping, using the hyphens property to break words with hyphens, or in this case use the HTML wbr tag to allow line breaking after every underscore, or even cut the longer words and append three dots to them; so my user name would look like this: "Limitless_s...".

For those uninformed:
Reddit Sync's dev is already working on Sync for Lemmy, and Artemis for Lemmy/kbin is heavily inspired by Apollo; will even be on both ios and android

@OtakuAltair
@git Jerboa isn't terribly bad but I understand why people think it isn't good.
I'm hoping the Infinity dev makes one for kbin though, would be a great fit

+1 for Infinity for Lemmy.
Infinity and Boost are my favorite Reddit apps.

He won't. He said he's trying to make it a subscription app. Of cause it still will be open source, but no further versions will be released on Fdroid

The website definitely works, but it has weird issues with posts jumping around.
Also you can’t use gestures on the website, but you can on apps. Like swiping to comment/like, tapping to hide, etc). It just feels way smoother
