I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it’s based on?

Dev said he just came up with it randomly lol

He made a post on !wefwef@lemmy.world about a possible name change, and some people are suggesting Voyager> wefwef

It is. It doesn’t hide read posts, but that’s the only major thing it’s missing.

There is work done one this to hide post, it just needs reviewed and approved. Might need more for read part.

I’m happily using wefwef both on my phone and on my computer. It has a really a great UI to browse/keep up with lemmy.

Pretty impressive! Not Apollo but close. Dismissing images is not as fluid.

The only thing missing for me after testing for 2 days is the swipe to go back a screen. You need to reach ALLLLLL the way across to the left edge of the screen and drag it ALLLLLL the way to the right to go back to your feed from a post. In Apollo I had it configured to only need a swipe from about the middle of the screen to the right edge. It’s very hard for me to reach that far comfortably and my muscle memory is all messed up right now. I keep doing the short swipe and I upvote someone’s post instead. If they can add this I will be extremely happy.

Edit: Also, I just realized after posting this comment that Apollo also had a feature where you go forward and backward a screen by swiping left or right on the bottom section. Extremely useful as well.

Have you considered filing an issue on their GitHub? I’m sure others would like to have that functionality be implemented as well
