Wefwef looks nice and I really want to like it but I keep tapping the back button and getting sent all the way back to my communities list, and therefore losing my spot in the scroll. It's getting old really fast.
PWA always have a ton of UI quirks that make them hard to use. It’s a cool idea and I wish they would take off but they just aren’t there and I’m not sure wefwef will be able to overcome that, as good as it looks.
Me too - it has weird quirks that at this stage may be turning potential users away.
To be fair though, it's something that's been put together very quickly. I think it's had 2 updates even just in the last 24hrs, to resolve some of these teething problems (and accidentally introducing more). I'm happy to stick with it and be patient; it's still in beta and would be unreasonable to expect a fully functional product at this point.
Some frustrations will also be coming from the decentralised nature of Lemmy. I've noticed issues with using my lemmy.world account or looking for content on lemmy.world from a different instance, and this isn't really a fault of wefwef or anyone to be honest (as .world is really struggling with excess load atm). It's early days, it's going to be rough, we just need to be patient and mindful.
Yeah that's a good point, I do see updates are coming fast 🙂 I won't give up on it.
