    Would love for the Apollo app developer Christian to get on board and join the Wefwef developers to make a native app.

      Found wefwef today and love it.

      I was kind of bummed when I realized it wasn’t a native app, but so far it’s been working great regardless.

        I’ve added it to my Home Screen and to be honest I can barely tell it’s not a native app. It’s shockingly well put together so far.

          the native site added as an app isn’t half bad either, it works in a very similar way but it just has some UI niggles

          Until I realized that there’s no haptic feedback.

          It’s still the greatest alternative out there because it’s very similar to Apollo and not just “inspired by”. I don’t even know if haptic feedback is possible on PWA but I guess time will tell.

          Same, that’s what I’ve been doing and it really just feels like using Apollo again.

          Edit: once I’m able to save posts to my profile, long press to download, and organize groups of communities it will be indistinguishable (for me anyway, a mostly-lurker)

      Agreed. I only viewed reddit through apollo; if he can shift, I’ll absolutely stay with apollo over reddit.

          I’d agree. Wefwef is great, although it isn’t as smooth as a native app it seems. But it’s very good regardless. May also be it is a little iffy with iOS 17? Not sure.

            I’ve been running it in Firefox on android (just made the switch to android so this… app? site? has been a godsend) and its working impressively smoothly, I’d think it was native if I didn’t know otherwise.

              I set up a self host version of it late last night. It now runs much more smoothly for me. I do agree it feels almost native at this point :)

      +1 to native app, it’s part of what made Apollo great

      What do you mean by “join the Wefef developers to make a native app”

      Are you saying you wish they would join forces and start or is Wefwef already on it?

      I like the look of wefwef a lot, coming from Apollo but I just don’t love web apps for things like this - so a native app from them would be awesome!

        With iOS 17, web apps will get more features to make them feel more native. It might be so close that it will be hard to tell the difference between a web-developed native app and a PWA. Wefwef is already really nice and it’s mere days old. I can’t wait to see where they take it.
