Lemmy Apps @lemmy.world starman @programming.dev 1y ago

I've written a concept of a lemmy app

I’m really excited to share it. Before diving into development and investing more time into this project, I would love to hear your thoughts and get some initial feedback on the app’s look.

If this concept receives enough positive interest, I plan to invest further by acquiring a domain and making it available for public use. It will be open source as well.

Thanks in advance!

Personally I love it. It's so different than what I normally see, and I think that's great cause it stands out and adds value. I'm imagining a dark mode with those colors as well!
- Thanks, dark mode is on my to-do list for this app :)
It's eye catching because the bright primary colors are really different from what you see in a lot of apps today! I do think the pressed bookmark button is not immediately visually apparent, so I would suggest maybe making it slightly desaturated or otherwise more obviously different from the two next to it.
- Thanks for feedback, I'll work on those buttons
Don't crop the pictures, pleeeeeease 🙏

So many of the apps do this, forcing you to click on the thumbnail to see the entire picture when scrolling. Maybe have a setting for people those that want the cleaner look.
- I don't, I just selected more horizontal picture to show buttons underneath :)
  
  And for people who prefer cleaner look there will be compact mode too
I liked this design, Different but cute!
- Thank you
Looks very pretty. I wouldn't personally use without a dark theme. Light can be overstimulating to some including those on the spectrum.

Improvement: It takes up a lot of space on activities not commonly done. Updates/source code/logout/settings/support/report issue. I'd hamburger these away.
- Thanks for feedback, I'll keep it in mind
Sure, why not. You should collaborate with the dev of Lemming, which looks promising but the colors are just terrible.
- Thanks for feedback.
  
  From what I found on Lemming's GitHub, we have different tech stack and goals. I plan to support all platforms including desktop to provide familiar experience everywhere thanks to PWA technology.
  
  If you want to know, colors in my app are from tailwind css palette: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/customizing-colors#default-color-palette
  
  Oh so that's pwa? Like wefwef? Alright then.
- What do you mean? Lemming UI is awesome, it might be my favorite UI as of right now.
I love this!! It reminds me of a comic book
Looks nice, it kinda remind me to Antenna app for Reddit on iOS.
- Thanks
Let me know when it's up on GitHub!
- Sure! It's to early for now to make it public but I'll let you know when the time comes.
Yo I'd kinda deadass like that tbh
I gotta say, I’m a big fan of this design
I won't use anything that isn't in dark mode
- It will have dark mode :)
I am using Liftoff. It's pretty great.
