Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)

    If I had 3 more of me, I’d build a cross-platform desktop app for lemmy using the rust gui framework iced.

        No one wants to 😞 . I have over 90 github notifications alone in the span of several days, each of them requiring at least 5 minutes of response or investigation. I just want to code.

          I’d be happy to help if possible.

          I’m not an amazing coder, but I could definitely review PRs or issues in my downtime.

          I have a feeling you’re about to get a lot of offers for help in the coming weeks!

        Not sure there’s a remindme bot, I haven’t seen many bots around here. Might be best to set your own reminder if you want to come back to this.

      The Jerboa technology stack can be used to make desktop applications. The app have a “tablet layout” for bigger screens?

      Maybe the same existing front-end could be adapted to work on tauri. Still it would need someone who knows how it works.
