Why YSK: looks very similar and functions like Apollo, if you’re used to Apollo that’s a great app for you, even if you do not, it’s still one of the best apps for lemmy You can install the web app here: wefwef.app/settings/install or just use it on your browser here wefwef.app

I am astounded by how good wefwef is. Without question the best web app I’ve ever seen

I’ve been trying to help out with the app’s development and has been in a few conversations with the lead dev. Top notch dude! Has a really good vision for the app and is very good in handling all the community discussion.

Reviews will open once it leaves early access!

Glad you’re enjoying it, so am I!

Kbin doesn’t have an API for apps to work with just yet. You’ll have to wait until they work on theirs before you’ll see any apps.

Right now all reviews are private feedback because the app is early access, but once the app doe its first full release version that will change.

Shit this is the best app so far! Hope they really release an app not just a page.

On Android, chrome has an option to add any page to your home screen which makes it function like an app. That’s what I’m doing.

Yup, I’m using it like this but the performance is obviously subpar, especially compared to apollo

I actually do this with kbin as well, though their “app” interface is nowhere near wefwef quality. Plus I am a Reddit refugee because I was a strong Apollo user, so the interface is like home to me.

did you click ‘add to homescreen’? you’ll be none the wiser that it’s a web app

It must be amazing if it’s taken you all the way down to 9%!

With your phone’s last dying breath an inescapable urge came over you to say something nice about wefwef. Then you stood up and finally flushed the toilet.

It’s definitely currently the best app out there. However as an android user, the design paradigm feels very alien to me which makes me really miss Sync.

I’m used to Sync too, they’re planning to launch a new version for Lemmy so we will have to wait

I’m curious what feels different to you? I came from Sync to Wefwef and it’s been a smooth transition for me. It reminds me of how the sync layout used to be which I never updated from when he switched versions so that may be it.

Swiping a post away to return to the feed view was huge for me. I also changed the font size, adapted the comment swipe behavior to my liking, disabled various buttons and enabled others. All features that make it feel different for me.

But I was more talking about the general look and feel of the app which perfectly fits iOS, but not Android. Android usually has a burger menu that opens a sidebar on the left which contains the settings while iOS apps tend to have it in the bottom bar. The login is also mostly in there which is also different from iOS. Things like that.

I agree with the Android thing, I have Android as well but maybe I’m less conflicted because I used to have Apollo on iOS before? 🤷🏻 IDK but this app looks fine to my eye and I can stand the lack of Monet/Material You for it…
