A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this PWA called Wefwef but it feels like a fully featured Apollo client for Lemmy already. You just go to the site and add it to your home screen. No beta to sign up for. No TestFlight link. Just add the PWA.

It’s good. It’s really really good.

My biggest question is, will it eventually be an actual app?

[–] palebluedot@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

I honestly think that it doesn't matter - this PWA is so polished I'm forgetting that I'm not using a native app.

This. People want and need a real app on the official stores to migrate from Reddit. I'm using Connect right now for this reason, but I hope it gets better

It's an actual webapp, so no, it probably won't unless they convert the codebase to react native.

I've only found a few things that I'm missing from a native experience and I'm sure it can be fixed.

Most annoyingly is the "scroll-to-top" by double tapping the top of the screen doesn't work.

Otherwise I think in terms of smoothness it's better than Mlem.
