Cross posting this here as this is would likely interest other people in the Lemmy part of the fediverse. I’ll still contribute to the official UI too, though.
The other day I started making a UI for lemmy with a different framework than is used by the official one as a way of getting some hands on experience with SolidJS. I considered making a clone of the existing UI, but I started thinking that I could make it look different. Since lemmy doesn’t tie you to a specific UI, it could be nice to give instances another option. At the moment, the only web UIs I know of for lemmy is the official one and the bulletin board one. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
Someday I would like to see a website with an oval, rather than a rectangular web design. No particular practical reason I can think of other than it would be really cool. The html/css would be difficult, might have to use svgs.
I think the main problem is that screens tend to be rectangular than oblong.
The real problem is that html is basically just rectangles nested within rectangles.
