Hi folks!
I am a new convert coming over from Reddit. I want to build out a Lemmy React Native client. Woo!
I’m very familiar with frontend dev and react (been doing so for a solid chunk of my career), however I am quite new to the Fediverse and not entirely sure how to build federated applications.
I see the lemmy-js-client which will likely help me tremendously, but it’s not terribly documented.
Anyone else out there hacking on a TypeScript/React based Lemmy client and willing to share notes? :)
Awesome! I’m doing the same thing. Yesterday I got login, loading the first page of posts, markdown rendering, and counts for comments and upvotes working.
It’s not even to alpha level yet, but once I get something I feel is up to snuff for a first push, the repo is at https://github.com/1hitsong/AOS/
Are you using the Javascript library or going directly to the /api/v3 calls?
I’m playing around with SvelteKit client and I almost prefer going with the raw api calls like the smartphone clients are doing.
I’m using the JS client - LemmyHttp Class.
Here’s what it currently looks like, for those interested.
