๐บ Buy Me a Beer ๐บ
Iโm building Lemma as a side project in my free time. If youโre enjoying Lemma and would like to say an extra thank you, you can buy me a beer โค๏ธ
๐ Note: This is a TestFlight release, so your feedback will help me fine-tune the app for its official launch.
Which is basically an exact copy of Apollo.
Big difference appear to be that this looks like itโs proper native, not fancy web app.
Right, but itโs claimed to be a โfrom the ground upโ build, where itโs an almost exact carbon copy. At least Voyager claimed to be trying to clone Apollo.
It can still be built from the ground up but still uses the same design. If it's a native app written in Swift not a PWA like Voyager I'd say that from the ground up still applies. Because you still need to code everything from scratch.
Itโs written in React Native, with some Swift modules here and there. I wrote down some more in depth behind the scenes in a previous post.
When Apollo shut down I really missed it in my day to day use, so initially this project started out as a personal project to see if I could replace that Apollo craving. Since then the development was going so well that I wanted to share it with the rest of the community as well.
Since then Iโve also build some things that imho are an improvement, for example:
Itโs been really fun to work on, but now that the basis is quite stable Iโll look into features that make it more tailored to Lemmy
Thank you for clarifying, and for your awesome work!
