Hello! I have made a macOS client for Lemmy - Leomard. It’s an initial version of the app, and my first macOS app made for the public.

Features

  • Mac-native client
  • Fast, small and light (only 9.2 MB)
  • Open source (GPLv3)
  • Beautiful responsive interface

Of course, it’s a very early version, some features are missing (ex. image uploading), and you may encounter a bug here and there.

Don’t forget to follow Leomard’s community: !leomard@lemm.ee

Or jump straight to the project’s Git: https://github.com/Athlon007/Leomard

If you have questions, feel free to ask :)

Hi everybody! This is the initial release of Leomard - a native macOS client app written in Swift using SwiftUI. It’s still in very early phase of development, features are missing, but it’s a start. Feedback is most welcome!

Native is the way 🙏

Unfortunately, at work I usually have to settle for Vue.JS front-ends 😂

Vue JS is awesome, when making websites.

The fact that people make apps with it is what sucks. Not because Vue JS is bad, but because native apps always look and feel better. Always.

I absolutely agree with you. Vue JS is my go-to framework, when I want to make a website nowadays.

Cramming it into an app and publishing it on App Store/Play Store though… shivers

From business stand-point - I absolutely get it. One codebase, many platforms.

But the dev part of me absolutely hates it.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !leomard@lemm.ee

Thank you so much for making it available on Intel. I got the last Intel MBP out of sheer bad luck lol.

Let me know how it runs. I have no way of testing the app on Intel Macs. It should make no difference whatsoever, but who knows.

sigh, not compatible on my old 2014 Macbook pro as it still runs MacOS 11.7.6 (Big Sur).
