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.
im worried about Mozillas ability to keep growing Firefox. They laid off a lot of their firefox team a few years ago and have been dipping into more commercial interests.. we really need Mozilla to be the FOSS counter to big tech.
seems much faster. nice work!
To be fair, that poster does look pretty awesome.
Agreed - you can tell a lot about someone by how they treat restauraunt staff.
This is pretty much the reason I use 1Password. I don't like Safari, and it has reasonably good UX and extensions for all browsers + native apps.
Lemmy is open source. The developers are working on this for free (minus some sponsorships). PR's are always welcome to help add new features you want :)
Oof. I don't know how you do it. I can deal with a dry heat but humidity just slays me.
I wondered if folks were still using Hey. I use the iOS app Spark for managing my email, it has a similar "allow list" for new senders. Agreed it's super helpful.
Wow I completely misread the title. I thought it was what worlds would you RATHER live in! 🤦♂️
Studio Ghibli worlds are lovely so I'd definitely want to live in them :)
I have been a big fan of authy for a few years. Works well for me.
Agreed. Feels weird how normalied addictive social media behavior has become.
Agreed! Admittedly I am quite biased as I am an Admin, but I really enjoy the little community we hae going at lemm.ee :)
Hey folks! 🏄♂️
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! 🎉
What features are currently working for 🍋 ?
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 🍋 ?
Certainly! And since I made you all wait so long and you all were so patient while I got my 🍋's together, I've recorded a small video!

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

Love and lemons ❤️ 🍋
Hey! Welcome to /c/lemon 🏄♂️
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 😅
If you'd be interested in getting a test flight link, drop a comment in this thread!
That's all for now 👋
EDIT: I've created a community for the Lemon app: !lemon@lemm.ee !
Hello community! 👋
I wanted to drop a short announcement: I'm building an iOS client for lemmy, named Lemon 🍋!
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 😅).
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:
- 🔒 Logging in and registering (including instance search + information browsing such as user count, location, accepting memberships, etc!)
- 💡 Light and Dark modes
- 🔼 Upvoting / downvoting posts with optimistic updates and rollbacks (including swipe to vote!)
- 🚀 highly performant feed with infinite scroll
- 📚 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!
Welcome to LemmyDev! 👋
LemmyDev hopes to be a home for anyone interested in learning about (or actively engaged in) developing apps, clients, bots and tools for the Lemmy Platform.
If you're new here: consult the sidebar for how this community is intended to be used.
I hope this place can be a helpful, supportive and positive community where we encourage one another, share work in progress, and celebrate successes together.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns don't be afraid to reach out to me, and have fun building!
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? :)
