Is the Lemmy folks able to get the Apollo dev to create a Lemmy iOS app?

Check out wefwef, it’s a mobile app but it replicates the Apollo experience shockingly well.

I can confirm it's pretty fuckin lit, didn't expect PWA to be such a good experience

It’s utterly changed my opinion on web apps. It’s astonishingly good.

Just scrolled through this thread to upvote this. Definitely worth a try if you miss the Apollo UI. Very smooth and beautiful UI.

Replying using wefwef

Just remember to read the "Terms and Privacy" before using it.

wefwef.app proxies information and you need to rely on their promise to not log, sell or inspect it.

They also collect "aggregated anonymized analytics".

As an alternative, you can install any Lemmy website as PWA app. Also, the native phone app Jerboa doesn't have those issues. You might want to consider one of those alternatives instead.

As an alternative you can self host wefwef so that should alleviate some of the concerns

[–] FrayDabson@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago

I don’t think that’s enough reason to immediately dismiss wefwef and if your truly concerned just self host.

I’ve tried many alternatives but so far wefwef is #1

I too was shocked by how much it feels like Apollo and how silky smooth it is. I no longer even care whether or not someone makes a native iOS app for Lemmy.

It's really surprisingly polished and quick.
