I’m the developer of a desktop-first Lemmy client called Alexandrite.
(dev here) I totally understand that, I wish Lemmy had that or oauth, I don’t like handling passwords just as much as you don’t want me to!
I use Imagus and it doesn’t work well with Alexandrite, I was trying to find some documentation on if I could support Imagus from the website side somehow, like attributes to provide non-thumbnail image URL hints but I hadn’t found documentation yet.
I’ve been meaning to try building something similar into Alexandrite at some point otherwise.
True, I’ve been using Voyager on my phone and it’s a big improvement over lemmy-ui in my opinion.
(dev here) I hadn’t really considered it as a full replacement before, but hosting it alongside the instance like a desktop version of m.lemmy.world is something I think would be neat (at least one instance is doing that, with a custom Dockerfile because I haven’t made one yet). I’d need to add some mobile support (which I’m not against doing in the future) and some admin tools probably before it could be a full replacement, both would probably not be for a bit still because I’m still working on feature parity for normal users. Also still waiting on a Lemmy issue to be fixed before I can add image uploading which is the most basic feature the site lacks at the moment.
I really want this. I haven’t tried any of the apps (other than the one I made) yet because I don’t want to give anyone my password. Oauth support would be so nice.
Eventually I do want to implement a light theme, but it’ll probably be a bit!
