Dunno. I wasn’t the OP.

arc is developed by The Browser Company. its free, but I don’t believe it’s open source. its basically a UI layer on top of chromium so its performance is about what you would get out of Chrome.

There's a lot of great options out there that aren't Gmail.

To be fair, that poster does look pretty awesome.

Wow I completely misread the title. I thought it was what worlds would you RATHER live in! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Studio Ghibli worlds are lovely so I'd definitely want to live in them :)

Agreed. Feels weird how normalied addictive social media behavior has become.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I kind of agree. Hard to take too seriously with that kind of verbiage.

I think a big part of it is that when we are young, all of these are new experiences to us. And as such, they carry a lot more emotion and stimulation.

As an adult, you've experienced many things. To some degree, your brain is likely acustomed to it.

Something that helps is breaking out of your routines and experiencing new things. I've heard our neural pathways described as the grooves that form on a hill when sledding. When you first slide down the hill, you're making brand new grooves. Each trip is different and unique. But over time, trails get established and you end up using the same worn trails over and over.

Experiencing new, bespoke things is like breaking out of the trails and making a new one.

At least, that's my understanding! I'm not a proffessional, just someone who can relate to what you're describing :)

When I was little, the Gremlins movies terrified me! Not sure why since they're super campy, but πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ kids are weird.

Hey folks! πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

First things first:

I have been absolutely floored at the positive response you all have had for Lemon! I frankly did not anticipate so much support and positivity. I want to thank each and every one of you for that!

second things.. er.. second:

Apologies I've been slow to update you all! I want to be clear: Lemon is not dead, and is very much still in active development!

I had a very hectic past couple of weeks in my personal/professional life, and so I haven't had as much time to dedicate to Lemon as I would have liked. Combined with the 4th of July holiday here in the US and some other travel I had planned, my free time was limited. But fear not! We are rapidly approaching a testflight release for iOS! πŸŽ‰

What features are currently working for πŸ‹ ?

Right now, I have:

  • signing in with instance search
  • light and dark modes
  • upvoting / downvoting / saving / commenting
  • rendering post feeds, comment threads
  • collapsing posts, comment threads
  • in-app browser (ie for links, media)
  • native image / gallery viewer
  • community search bar
  • comment / post sorting
  • basic account / community / instance filtering (WIP)

What about the other things you said in DevLog[0]? >:(

Yes! So I ended up removing account registration and offline persistent cache for now. These features will both return, but I wasn't happy with some of the bugs. Just about any engineer will tell you that there are two hard problems in CS: naming things, and cache invalidation. I personally think there's more hard things than that, but needless to say, I want to make sure I get these pieces right before shipping them to you all!

Can we see πŸ‹ ?

Certainly! And since I made you all wait so long and you all were so patient while I got my πŸ‹'s together, I've recorded a small video!

Videos

apologies these are on youtube and not the fediverse, I don't have a peertube account yet :)

Any questions? Thread them below!

I’m really curious to see if any of these options can pan out long-term. It’s extremely expensive to host video, and it seems like it could be a real challenge for federated video hosting to take off at scale. I’m hopeful!

I would love to help if I can! I am active US eastern (UTC -5) times. Will also give me a chance to bake some admin tools into my Lemmy app Lemon ☺️

Hey! Welcome to /c/lemon πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

This community is for discussions about Lemon, an upcoming iOS app for Lemmy.

The app is in pre-alpha, but I am hoping to get it onto Test Flight in the next 1-2 weeks, free time permitting πŸ˜…

If you'd be interested in getting a test flight link, drop a comment in this thread!

That's all for now πŸ‘‹

Hello community! πŸ‘‹

I wanted to drop a short announcement: I'm building an iOS client for lemmy, named Lemon πŸ‹!

It is still very much in early development, only having one week of dev time so far. I'm not yet ready for users (unless you want a lot of bugs πŸ˜…).

I'll be sharing some development logs throughout the journey. Consider this the first of (hopefully many) entries!

Story time:

For years, I was an avid user of Apollo for Reddit. I was an "ultra subscriber" and occasional donor, since I loved the app and Christian Selig was such a kind and engaged developer. He managed to build both an inspiring app and community.

I was heartbroken when I learned Apollo would shut down due to Reddit's API changes.

Lemon for Lemmy as an homage to Apollo and is greatly inspired by his amazing work (Thank you, Christian!)

Features

Some of the currently-working features are:

  • πŸ”’ Logging in and registering (including instance search + information browsing such as user count, location, accepting memberships, etc!)
  • πŸ’‘ Light and Dark modes
  • πŸ”Ό Upvoting / downvoting posts with optimistic updates and rollbacks (including swipe to vote!)
  • πŸš€ highly performant feed with infinite scroll
  • πŸ“š persistent cache to read while you're offline

My goal is to make this a fully featured Lemmy client for iOS, and hopefully one day as good as Apollo is/was!

That's all for now. Here's some screenshots. Until next time!

Hi folks!

I am a new convert coming over from Reddit. I want to build out a Lemmy React Native client. Woo!

I'm very familiar with frontend dev and react (been doing so for a solid chunk of my career), however I am quite new to the Fediverse and not entirely sure how to build federated applications.

I see the lemmy-js-client which will likely help me tremendously, but it's not terribly documented.

Anyone else out there hacking on a TypeScript/React based Lemmy client and willing to share notes? :)
