Introducing Alexandrite for Lemmy, a desktop-first alternative web UI - LemmyWorld

Website [https://alexandrite.app/], community [https://lemmy.world/c/alexandrite], Github [https://github.com/sheodox/alexandrite] I’ve been working on an alternative web UI for Lemmy for a couple weeks now and it’s got enough features I wanted to share it. I love that somehow people have found it despite me never having posted online about it until now (until a couple days ago it was called sx-lemmy, sx being an abbreviation of my username) so you might have seen it in a list already. Alexandrite is a (for the moment) desktop-first Lemmy interface, I primarily use Lemmy on my computer and I wanted a more convenient way to view posts and comments without juggling tabs or losing my place in the feed (with infinite scrolling). It’s still very much in beta, and I have a lot of work to do still, but it’s got most of the basic features. You can view a post and comments in an overlay without losing where you scrolled to: [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e465c65b-173a-43c4-9177-109b288df51d.png] [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/96af075b-d844-40a4-b662-ae12ffaad590.png] [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/739a274c-a5d2-4ed7-9c83-286837b477ba.png] A non-exhaustive list of things you can do: * view home/community/user/communities feeds * post/comment * subscribe to communities * vote * save posts * search * inbox stuff Noteworthy missing features: * reporting * blocking users/communities * mod tools * image uploading * automatic linkifying of urls/communities/users in comments/posts For those who care, it’s all Sveltekit which is a dream to work with. Alexandrite is the name of the kind of gem in my wife’s wedding ring, it looks cool and changes color in the light.
