I'm really digging Wefwef, but I'm an android user so I feel like I'm crossing some weird rubicon of using an Apple UI from a non Apple device.
I guess what I'm saying... Ladies... Is that I'm dangerous.

As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.
This is uncanny. Thanks!
This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!
Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!
I am trying it now for the first time on Android. But everytime I want to go back with the back button of the navbar, the app quits. Is that intended behavior?
No it isn't. Works as intended for me on both Firefox and Brave.
Since an update this morning it is working fine.
It seems to work well enough. I could use a little more information density, I wish I could turn off thumbnails, and a bunch of other nit-pick-y things, but it's a good start.
Yes it is really nice but still browser based at the end of the day, therefore will not be a go-to for me.
Memmy has been good to me so far
@fades @African_Grey do you know if any more beta slots have been upened up for Memmy? I'm trialing Mlem right now but there's no iPad version
Oh, this is really nice. It'll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it'll become my go to way to access Lemmy.
For real, im shocked with how fluid this feels compared to everything else I have tried today. I get the occasional bad fetch for comments but thats about it so far
We should charge for API use now. :)
totally! lets also block the mobile sites so we can only access it through an ad and crypto infested app 🤭
New favorite way to use lemmy.
Great design, feels responsive, works everywhere…
PWAs are great, and for 99% of use cases are more than enough. We need a fake App Store that “installs” PWAs in people devices in a transparent way.
Also let’s hope Apple is forced to open iOS to alternative rendering engines and complete full features browsers.
And for a final irony boost, the PWA thing is the “”””original”””” vision for smartphones, at least according to Steve Jobs during the original iPhone keynote. Full circle and stuff.
It looks really nice, kind of funny seeing the iOS-UI on Android. But I loved Apollo before switching to Android.
I'm using it right now and it's really cool!
...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?
Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.
Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.
My biggest question is, will it eventually be an actual app?
I honestly think that it doesn't matter - this PWA is so polished I'm forgetting that I'm not using a native app.
I'm an Android user and I never used Apollo, but wefwef is just amazing. It works surprisingly well, especially for a PWA. It will be my app of choice at least until Sync for Lemmy is out.
I'm feeling the same way. Can't wait for Sync.
I'm holding out for Slide for Lemmy as another Android user. But, wefwef is pretty good so far.
It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don't. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.
Genuinely curious, why do you not like PWAs?
They never manage to feel native. Keeping data reliably? - Not really possible. Stability? - Fully reliant on the browser. Native notifications, target for sharing stuff, etc.? - Never seen it. ...
It always feels like a compromise.
