      Just added the Apache License.

      Goals:

      1. Better UI (I am aiming for old.reddit) for lemmy with a new design (repetitive icons, hard to distinguish comments, terrible mobile UI) and fixing common issues, like freezing, spinners loading forever, etc.
      2. Single codebase for web, native Android and iOS apps. This is possible with Svelte + Capacitor.
      3. Svelte codebase which I believe will be far easier to develop on.
      4. Rethink how communities are browsed/integrated as alluded to in this post. This is my end goal, but I need to have some discussions about what this will exactly look like.

      My current goal is to just get the site working with all/most of the existing functionality. For that there is a lot to do. Profile/settings page, comment replies, community browser/subscriptions to name a few.

        Sounds great!! I will be pendent of news about that project. Currently I’m using Jerboa. Not so bad and needs improve a lot of stuff, would be great could use Infinity for Reddit but for Lemmy. Is open source so I think it could possible, but I’m not a programmer yet. Good luck!!

        I might try my hand at contributing. I have yet to do any open source development but really want to work on something lemmy related.

        Interesting. Is this easier to work in than React Native?

          I am not a fan of React, so in my opinion, yes. The substantial difference here is this isn’t native, its just a webapp that looks and feels just like a native application. The nice thing here is its just vanilla JS/CSS/HTML.
