It’s as if Apollo has been reborn. How wild! I recommend giving wefwef or Memmy a try.

It immediately felt so right that I committed half an hour to really figuring out what this was and how it all worked. Okay to be fair I only kind of know how it all works
It can look as nice as it gets. A PWA remains a PWA. Yes, I understand that there are people that like it. I don't. I still hope for an Apollo port to Lemmy. But the development progress of Mlem and Memmy is remarkable as well.

As an Apollo user I was very (happily) surprised at how familiar this feels, thank you! Interesting note about this app is they have a Dockerfile available which means you could host the PWA/app in your own domain. Looking at the Dockerfile this would be super easy to deploy and update.
This is incredible, thanks for sharing!
Considering that this is a webapp, it gives far better experience than Jerboa, Thunder. Wefwef It is fast and smooth. Jerboa is fast but laggy. Thunder is laggy but smooth.
This is going to be my go to app for mobile devices, thanks for making me aware of it!
Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!
I am trying it now for the first time on Android. But everytime I want to go back with the back button of the navbar, the app quits. Is that intended behavior?
Do you have it installed as a PWA? the back button works fine for me, installed, chrome on android 13
No it isn't. Works as intended for me on both Firefox and Brave.
Since an update this morning it is working fine.
Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.
Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.
I'm using it right now and it's really cool!
...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?
Holy shit. I have Apollo. On my Android phone. For Beehaw!
This is amazing! PWAs are so awesome.
As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.
Oh, this is really nice. It'll be really cool once PWAs are usable on macOS and it'll become my go to way to access Lemmy.
It looks really nice, kind of funny seeing the iOS-UI on Android. But I loved Apollo before switching to Android.
I could kiss you OP. This is the best recommendation ever!
It really is great but that name is so weird. Anyone know what it's based on?
Dev said he just came up with it randomly lol
He made a post on !wefwef@lemmy.world about a possible name change, and some people are suggesting Voyager> wefwef
I think my favorite app is Thunder. Serious RedReader vibes
Trying it now. Thunder is really good but it feels like it’s designed for Android not iOS. Very “material you” feeling.
