For real, im shocked with how fluid this feels compared to everything else I have tried today. I get the occasional bad fetch for comments but thats about it so far

I just found yesterday and installed it as a web app. The two iPhone clients I tried before were not quite ready for prime-time IMO but wefwef is great.
I'm using it right now and it's really cool!
...Why isn't the bookmark button working though?
Woah, wefwef is awesome! Using it now!
While the developer(s) has/have done a great job getting a PWA to feel this close to native, it's still a bit far-fetched to say it "feels exactly like Apollo".
I read about it yesterday and decided to give it a whirl. Still using it today. I'll try it on my phone in a while.
Edit: Works a treat in Firefox on iOS. It's a keeper.
I just mentioned wefwef to my better half. She just sremovedd at me and said "has the world run out of names?"
It has a delay that locks the UI when swiping back to the homescreen.
For a good 3 seconds, you can’t scroll or even touch any item while it buffers.
Other than that, pretty good.
I never used Apollo, however out of all the current lemmy apps and PWAs for Android, wefwef is definitely my favorite at the moment.
Can I connect to other instances apart from 4 preset ones?
Edit. Yes, just go to middle icon att the bottom and log in.

I used RIF on Android and now test wefwef in my browser. Already really like the swipe gestures!
It’s really good and well made as well, put in a pull request today to add a feature and getting it setup locally as a dev was so easy!
I’m very tempted to self host it on my instance as well
It immediately felt so right that I committed half an hour to really figuring out what this was and how it all worked. Okay to be fair I only kind of know how it all works
Using wefwef now and it’s good - but is there a way to put it in dark mode?
This is incredible, thanks for sharing!
My PWAs always feel slow, unresponsive, and also run at what feels like 30fps rather than 120. Is this just how PWAs are? I'm using Firefox on Android.
Wow this is great - thanks for the hot tip!!
Omg I just checked out wefwef. I hope they release a downloadable app soon. The UI is fantastic.
Yup, that's Apollo in a web browser.
I too think it is exceptional for lemmy.
WefWef rocks. It has a nice name, too.
I could kiss you OP. This is the best recommendation ever!
As an Android user, wefwef is such a fantastically designed app. I was still using an old iPhone and iPad Pro to browse Reddit as a longtime Apollo Ultra user so the UI is just perfect for my tastes.
