I can't help. There is no license, so your app is proprietary. What are the goals and what needs to be implemented?

Just added the Apache License.

Goals:

  1. Better UI for lemmy with a new design (repetitive icons, hard to distinguish comments, terrible mobile UI) and fixing common issues, like freezing, spinners loading forever, etc.
  2. Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps. This is possible with Svelte + Capacitor.
  3. Svelte codebase which I believe will be far easier to develop on.
  4. Rethink how communities are browsed/integrated as alluded to in this post. This is my end goal, but I need to have some discussions about what this will exactly look like.

My current goal is to just get the site working with all/most of the existing functionality. For that there is a lot to do. Profile/settings page, comment replies, community browser/subscriptions to name a few.

Interesting. Is this easier to work in than React Native?

I am not a fan of React, so in my opinion, yes. The substantial difference here is this isn't native, its just a webapp that looks and feels just like a native application. The nice thing here is its just vanilla JS/CSS/HTML.
