This is my attempt at an oldschool, beefed-up desktop app for Lemmy for those of us who yearn for that kind of experience.
Currently it only does reading, if people use it I'll work on comment support too.
If you want to give it a spin, you can download the flatpak file from here and run it.
I'm only interested if it automatically appends **56K WARNING** to any post with a gallery.
It doesn't, but for £100/hr I'll come to your house, stand behind you while you browse, and tell it at the top of my lungs whenever I see a gallery loading up.
Ehh, close enough.
I could add a 56K simulator feature that makes the images load super slowly ;-)
what does this mean?
My sweet summer child
Wow - this looks amazing! Gonna try it out ASAP.
Glad you like it :)
Had a quick play - great start!
I've tried going back into it and get a utf-8 error - is this common? I can't log back in.
Some thoughts if you do decide to keep working on it :) Could you add comments as another tab next to post and media. I can only see a way to look at subscribed communities. Can you add the local and all tabs too?
If you fancied adding all the mod and admin tools to it too, that would be amazing 😅
Nice! Yeah, logging in throws errors sometimes, idk why but some instances (.ml) do this almost always. Perhaps try removing the account?
I can try adding the comments as a tab. The reason I originally put them in a new window was because comments sections tend to be quite wide so I didn't think they would fit in the tall-but-narrow layout of the main window too well
Good call with the local and all tabs, I'll add those to the sidebar.
I haven’t even downloaded yet but just from the screenshot I love it and the idea. Also, what are you using for that Windows 7 look? I’m assuming it’s not actually Windows 7. I’m realizing I miss that and that was kind of peak computing to me, or at least the best Windows offered.
it kinda looks like they’ve built it using windows forms which iirc defaults to a windows 7 design style when previewing it (i could be wrong tho)
I miss that and that was kind of peak computing to me
Yup, I feel exactly the same :D It's called AeroThemePlasma and I dig it so much
This is incredible!
It is! Now I've just gotta overcome my disgust of C++ in order to write apps for it... (this client is written in Vala, ie. C#)
I actually really like the easy access subbed list
Reminds me of GameRanger. We didnt know those were the halcyon days.
Cool project!
