The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

WefWef's community page: c/wefwef

Courtesy of KillaBeez@lemmy.world for telling us about it.

Update:

Having issues? It's to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here's the Dev's notes on that:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

definitely would use it if it wasn't a web app. still amazingly good for a web app though!

[–] Corey1031d@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there actually an app or is this all web based? I can't figure it out.

[–] hschen@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Its web based, but can be "installed" on both mobiles and desktop as a PWA which is Progressive Web App, essentially the same as using it in a browser but meant to function more like a "real" app

This is an awesome app, thanks!

[–] ilovetvshows@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Have couple of questions if someone can answer. I went to search for "television" community and found one with more subscribers and nothing after the word "television" and also saw one with very few subscribers and it had "television@something". So is it like we can have 2 communities with same name? How does one know which to subscribe to?

And this question is specific to wefwef app, I went to the television community page and everything there is big posts each occupying half of my page with a pic or something. How to have this more consice?

For me (iPhone 12) The keyboard works in the web interface but not in the installed app. The cursor is there and the grey bar with the “Done” button, but no keyboard below that.

I installed the app. But have a question. Before logging in, it asks me to select a server. Now I created my account on ".ml" domain so here too I had to selected that only because when I selected ".world", it told me invalid credentials. Is that expected behavior?

Is there no way to use it with a feddit.de account?

If I didn’t know any better, I’d say this just is Apollo, but pulling from a different API.

[–] lhx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It doesn’t work on an XR. The interface is too tiny to click login unfortunately.

@Demigod787

I'm waiting for the option to block communities and people. then I will be able to happily use wefwef.

edit, I'm not against anybodeyor anything, but there are times that some entity gets spammy.

It's indeed a great app! Impressive!

[–] 5SpeedDeasil@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I use Memmy. I'm really liking it so far. Its not on the app store yet so you have to install it through TestFlight, go to the github on your phone, and then click the invite link. Isn't perfect but great so far

[–] lockieluke3389@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It feels so weird iOS interface but a PWA, I’m a fellow Memmy user

[–] MrShelbySan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yooo that’s amazing. I was using Memmy but I’ll switch over to wefwef. It looks just like Apollo!

[–] jcalais@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Wefwef is gorgeous for sure and eerily familiar to ex Apollo users. It does show the red error message a lot though. It even said my user doesn’t exist when I logged in, but somehow I am still logged in. And it only lets me upvote every second click. We’ll see if it lets me post this.

But visually it’s a pretty stellar effort.

[–] gabmartini@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is amazing. Using it in my iPad Mini right now!

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

How does it look like on iPad?

[–] CylonBunny@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I’m weird and don’t actually have any apps on my Home Screen. I just use Spot Light and the the App Library screen. Is there anyway to get a web app to show up on the App Library? Because I don’t like how this one app is different from everything else on my phone and has to live on the Home Screen.

Other than that, I agree! It’s a pretty sweet app this far.

[–] Crow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Use a Siri shortcut to make a device profile PWA. Then you should be able to.

[–] kevin@infosec.pub 2 points 2 years ago

Just joined and downloaded. This is a great app!

[–] entropicshart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you're loving wefwef because of it's Apollo likeness, then you need to checkout Memmy

It actually introduces all the features Apollo had with native haptics, slide interactions and navigations, push notifications, and more. The developers have been working hard and pushing releases daily (sometimes multiple per day).

As an Apollo users for the last 6 years, Memmy has been by far the best iOS app for Lemmy that I have tried (which have been Mlem, Thunder, Liftoff (prev. known as Limbo)

[–] burningmatches@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but it doesn’t look as close to Apollo as wefwef. It also doesn’t work as well on iPad, whereas wefwef has just nailed the aesthetic of Apollo right away.
