It can still be built from the ground up but still uses the same design. If it's a native app written in Swift not a PWA like Voyager I'd say that from the ground up still applies. Because you still need to code everything from scratch.

Itโ€™s written in React Native, with some Swift modules here and there. I wrote down some more in depth behind the scenes in a previous post.

When Apollo shut down I really missed it in my day to day use, so initially this project started out as a personal project to see if I could replace that Apollo craving. Since then the development was going so well that I wanted to share it with the rest of the community as well.

Since then Iโ€™ve also build some things that imho are an improvement, for example:

  • the onboarding
  • the markdown editor
  • the chat interface for private messages

Itโ€™s been really fun to work on, but now that the basis is quite stable Iโ€™ll look into features that make it more tailored to Lemmy
