Is the Lemmy folks able to get the Apollo dev to create a Lemmy iOS app?

    Check out wefwef, it’s a mobile app but it replicates the Apollo experience shockingly well.

        Well you rarely ever see them done right. This is a wonderful example of what can be accomplished with a PWA if more developers were more interested that format.

        Just scrolled through this thread to upvote this. Definitely worth a try if you miss the Apollo UI. Very smooth and beautiful UI.

      Just remember to read the “Terms and Privacy” before using it.

      wefwef.app proxies information and you need to rely on their promise to not log, sell or inspect it.

      They also collect “aggregated anonymized analytics”.

      As an alternative, you can install any Lemmy website as PWA app. Also, the native phone app Jerboa doesn’t have those issues. You might want to consider one of those alternatives instead.

        I don’t think that’s enough reason to immediately dismiss wefwef and if your truly concerned just self host.

        I’ve tried many alternatives but so far wefwef is #1

      I too was shocked by how much it feels like Apollo and how silky smooth it is. I no longer even care whether or not someone makes a native iOS app for Lemmy.
