Im actually shocked at how well this works! Never expected a Webapp to be this great! Do you plan to make a native app for iOS at some point? I mostly ask because a lot of my favorite features from Apollo (widgets was a big one, FaceID, lockscreen widgets) are afaik only possible through native right? I would love to see stuff like that in the long run here too!

Regardless, this is really an awesome PWA and I can’t wait to see what you do with it!

Overall it looks great! Just a couple of notes: the colors for up/down votes being inverted from Apollo keeps throwing me off. Also, the save button doesn’t work. I don’t know if Lemmy really has an option for saving posts, and if not it might be better to not show the save bookmark icon. If I’m wrong and there is a way to find what I saved, please let me know where to find it!

If this becomes a native iOS app, it would be a game-changer!

@aeharding Is there a reason why the colours for up- and downvotes are inverted? It keeps throwing me off, especially because everything else looks exactly like it did on Apollo.

Also, would it be possible to add those tiny vibrations when you swipe do up-/downvote? I have swiped too far a number of times now and accidentally downvoted on first try because there is no haptic feedback.

Regardless, I love wefwef so far, thank you so much for your work!

My first post post Apollo shutdown and am really happy with wefwef! Feels very familiar, and I’m actually excited for a fresh start getting away from the dumpster fire Reddit has become. Happy to be here!

Hey, this is amazing work! I'm using it right now as a standalone app on the macOS Sonoma beta and it feels really good. The biggest problem I've had with Lemmy so far is that most instances use the default frontend, and I just don't really like it that much. This is a lot better! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

I didn’t know web apps could work this well. Fantastic work so far. Do we know how Christian feels about this?

Awesome app. Came from boost for reddit. This is so well done for a webapp. Made my move to lemmy a lot less of a hassle than I expected.

Oh yeah first post on Lemmy.

Screw reddits money grabbing owners.

my gf just asked wtf is wefwef, sounds like porn. explained what it is and now she using wefwef. really loving this early build and lemmy community makes this place even more welcoming.

if an app is released, please add a function in the android version to switch between android and ios theme

This app looks lit, it almost feel illegal to have Apollo like experience on Android LMAO.

This is amazing! Loving it so far. When theming gets more sophisticated, would love a compact mode with text titles only, no image!

I freaking love this so far! Made it so easy to find topics across multiple servers.

Wow, you nailed the Apollo vibe and feel. Incredible job.

Could you add access to kbin to the app? That would be great. Thanks for making the app!

As someone who stopped using Reddit after Apollo quit working, wefwef is amazing so far! It really does look and feel like Apollo. It's very helpful with the transition to Lemmy.

Would you be able to add themes in the future like Apollo had? I loved using majestic purple.

Thank you so much for making this!

Would it be possible to modify the sorting feature so that it isn’t universal? In Apollo, unless I’m misremembering, I’m fairly certain the sorting would default back to a set sorting function, usually Hot or whatever the equivalent was. It might’ve been a setting called default sorting method, again my memory is hazy and I can’t exactly go check. I digress. This was convenient bc oftentimes when someone sorts by Top, Active, or Controversial it is only for the given instance they’re currently viewing, and they intend on viewing a specific sorting method generally while otherwise browsing. It would be nice as at least an option, if possible to implement easily.

Just found this app and it is sooooo awesome. Holy cow.

I had no idea a web app could be this good.

Great work!

How do i self host and how do i get updates directly from you so my instance can stay updated? also do i need to upgrade my vps or will it just be me on the self hosted wefwef PWA or something?

@aeharding nice! Now I know what you do for fun!

@aeharding this is so impressive on iOS! I didn't know a PWA could feel this smooth!

I would love a version of "compact" that hides all thumbnails. It makes for an even more compact list of text rather than dedicating space for a square thumbnail, many of which are just empty because they are text posts and/or just outward going links, and I do enjoy the visual cleanliness that comes from not having a variety of different squares of colors against a black background lining the right side of the text.

Thanks for all the hard work on this!

Hi is there a way to customize gestures?

It's now my favorite lemmy app. Thanks for your hard work 🙏

Hey, out of curiosity, how do you host the official instance? Is it just running on a VPS or some other static site host?

I ask because I'm the dev of another alternate web UI (but for desktop) called Alexandrite, and I'm hoping to refactor and move Lemmy API calls from the server to the client in the near future to avoid scaling issues with rate limits and I'm just exploring my options for hosting if I were to not have a hard dependency on SSR.

Have you considered adding kbin accessibility? That would be great!

This post should have 2120 updoots ☠️🎺

is there a way to set up “multireddit” feeds like you could with apollo?

This is incredible. It feels so cozy being able to browse lemmy in an Apollo-like UI. I didn’t realize how much I missed it.
