I can't help. There is no license, so your app is proprietary. What are the goals and what needs to be implemented?

Just added the Apache License.

Goals:

  • Better UI for lemmy with a new design (repetitive icons, hard to distinguish comments, terrible mobile UI) and fixing common issues, like freezing, spinners loading forever, etc.
  • Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps.
  • Svelte codebase which I believe will be far easier to develop on.
  • Rethink how communities are browsed/integrated as alluded to in this post. This is my end goal, but I need to have some discussions about this will exactly look like.

    • My current goal is to just get the site working with all/most of the existing functionality. For that there is a lot to do. Profile/settings page, comment replies, community browser/subscriptions.

    Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps. This is possible with Svelte + Capacitor.

    Interesting. Is this easier to work in than React Native?

    I am not a fan of React, so in my opinion, yes. The substantial difference here is this isn’t native, its just a webapp that looks and feels just like a native application. The nice there is its just vanilla JS/CSS/HTML.
