just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @[email protected]):

    IMO the better thing to do would be to convert it into a Lemmy client. I heard someone is making a Lemmy API that works like reddit’s, so maybe it could use that when it’s ready?

    Either way, I’m starting to work on my own Lemmy app written in React Native. If you have a name better than “ymmel” (reverse “lemmy”), please tell me.

      How about Hymmel? Himmel stands for heaven in German, hinting at a safe space for the lost souls in these tiring times.

      I would love to have it converted or forked into a Lemmy client

      Good luck on your app but ymmel seems like it is too close to yaml for my taste and I’d rather not mix up those two things

        1. Same
        2. Someone suggested a different name (“hymmel”), and this one doesn’t sound like yaml

        That’s the most random thing lol, but I like it. Someone already suggested a better name, though
