This is my attempt at an oldschool, beefed-up desktop app for Lemmy for those of us who yearn for that kind of experience.
Currently it only does reading, if people use it I'll work on comment support too.
If you want to give it a spin, you can download the flatpak file from here and run it.
Glad you like it :)
Had a quick play - great start!
I've tried going back into it and get a utf-8 error - is this common? I can't log back in.
Some thoughts if you do decide to keep working on it :) Could you add comments as another tab next to post and media. I can only see a way to look at subscribed communities. Can you add the local and all tabs too?
If you fancied adding all the mod and admin tools to it too, that would be amazing 😅
Nice! Yeah, logging in throws errors sometimes, idk why but some instances (.ml) do this almost always. Perhaps try removing the account?
I can try adding the comments as a tab. The reason I originally put them in a new window was because comments sections tend to be quite wide so I didn't think they would fit in the tall-but-narrow layout of the main window too well
Good call with the local and all tabs, I'll add those to the sidebar.
