I always have it open on my Android phone, and I actually even installed it as a PWA on my Windows 11 PC. I can snap it to the side and pull up my Lemmy feed anytime and get the same experience on phone and PC. I really appreciate your clearly highly skilled efforts and your admirable work ethic @aeharding@lemmy.world .
I’d encourage anyone that is using and enjoying the app with it’s rapid-fire updates and developer involvement to consider popping over to his Github sponsor page at https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding to buy this gentleman a cup of coffee or three. Hopefully we’re not wearing you out with all the ideas and requests and reports… it speaks to the level of engagement and enthusiasm you’re creating for your expanding user base. Thank you!
I prefer Memmy right now but wefwef is just as awesome.
One major thing I’d like is tapping the top bar to return to the top after scrolling down.
One minor, which no app has yet is auto marking as read as you scroll past posts (no upvoting, no image opening or opening comments).
Just pure, lazy scrolling like Apollo
Both wefwef and Memmy made huge improvements just last week since I started using them. I feel like both devs don’t get much sleep. There’s other people who contribute too. Kinda mind blowing.
I’m pretty sure wefwef is just one person. I only saw aeharding on Github (but that was yesterday).
If you tap whatever bottom icon is currently highlighted, it will take you to the top.
I weirdly like Wefwef, even as an Android user who has never touched Apollo. It just feels responsive and my eyes have an easy time with the layout.
Without knowing too many details, I believe it won a bunch of UX design awards and its previous user base (which included me) is quite loyal. So it makes sense. 💡
I have very mixed opinions about PWAs. Philosophically I love them (remember the Ubuntu phone? That would have been my iOS alternative!). But in practice most aren’t done very well and feel like a browser bookmark that has been opened from the home screen. But wefwef feels outright native, totally impressive!
Really enjoying the app, it makes me feel as if I’m still using Apollo. The speed at which new updates are getting released is incredible.
The only thing that keeps tripping me up is that on Apollo I could swipe back from a post to my feed from the right side of the screen (as in from slightly to the left of the right border of the screen all the way to the right border). Now I’m forced to use my left hand or reach all the way over with my right hand to swipe back.
The consistent and pretty rapid updates wefwef is getting is sort of amazing to me, and it’s a pleasure to use!
Pretty rapid? This mf pushes 3-6 updates a day. I know their sleep schedule at this point by the gap in updates
