I’d like Lemmy to attract a wide range of folks who contribute to a diverse range of communities. While the official web UI is very rich in features, I think it might be a bit intimidating for non-IT people.
So I figured: why not try to be the change I want to see in this world? Here’s my attempt, implemented in SvelteKit.
I really don’t like that style of interface. But what’s cool is, it doesn’t matter what I think, because both can coexist so people who do like it can enjoy it. Looks good, Rock on!
Like not everyone liked new reddit UI, and not everyone like the old UI.
Having a choice is always better than force people to use something they don’t like. (this reminds me something!)I always appreciate choice.
It’s in fact a Reddit Gold/Premium feature on old.reddit where you can use the CSS from one sub and apply it to all other subs you visit.
interchangeable CSS is a thing of the future! and the future is now!
No worries. Here’s to freedom of choice!
Will it be open source?
Yes. Maybe GPL, maybe MIT, maybe something else. But some flavor of open source license.
Lemmy is AGPL so you might want to do that.
Awesome to hear! can’t wait to try it!
Works for me! Let us know when it’s ready to test drive…
Awesome. Read-only browsing is fairly stable at this point, but I think I’ll need to have basic account interactions like upvote, downvote and comment implemented before I have a minimum viable product. In general, I prefer to polish the experience before expanding the feature set.
Does it have a name or page so I can follow along/come back in the future? Looks great.
That’s great, I also felt Svelte is a nice framework!
Thanks, official lemmy interface is clunked. this looks better tbh
This looks great! Nice job
Wow, looks really nice!
This looks nice, could it be used in any browser? I use Safari and it has a pretty dumb support for extensions.
I really dig it
It looks really nice! Only thing I’d change off the bat is to stretch the search bar so itd the width of the middle section. Having search be more accessible would help a lot with duplicate posts so people search before posting (imo search should be integrated in the post section like how discord forums work so while your typing the title for your post it searches so you can see if there is already a thread on it)
is there a public beta, i would love to try it
Looks great, about when will it be released?
I like it, except for the rounded edges. Very cool
If it doesn’t have at least 20px of border-radius, is it really modern?
I like it a lot, but would be cool to have a 2 column layout as an option like Mastodon app trunks.social has.
