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.

Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.
It’s really good and well made as well, put in a pull request today to add a feature and getting it setup locally as a dev was so easy!
I’m very tempted to self host it on my instance as well
It immediately felt so right that I committed half an hour to really figuring out what this was and how it all worked. Okay to be fair I only kind of know how it all works
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.

Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is 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?
Do you have it installed as a PWA? the back button works fine for me, installed, chrome on android 13
Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!
I'm using it right now and it's really cool!
...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?
It is. It doesn’t hide read posts, but that’s the only major thing it’s missing.

Considering that this is a webapp, it gives far better experience than Jerboa, Thunder. Wefwed It is fast and smooth. Jerboa is fast but laggy. Thunder is laggy and smooth.
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.
Not sure if you are asking for a compact view? Because it does have that.

It is indeed very, very good
Thanks for the recommendation. This is excellent, and so far it works brilliantly for a a PWA.
It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it's based on?
Dev said he just came up with it randomly lol
He made a post on !wefwef@lemmy.world about a possible name change, and some people are suggesting Voyager> wefwef
My PWAs always feel slow, unresponsive, and also run at what feels like 30fps rather than 120. Is this just how PWAs are? I'm using Firefox on Android.
It felt really bad on Firefox for me too, I switched to using chrome for it and now it's smooth as native, much smoother than any other native Lemmy app so far.
Wow, can you link it?
Edit: I found it and wow it really is exactly like Apollo!
I think my favorite app is Thunder. Serious RedReader vibes
Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.
