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?
Also sleepless I really need to interest you in some leptos / cargo-leptos . It takes a lot of inspiration from solid, and I’ve been making some smaller test projects with it, and love it.
In a few weeks I also want to start a minimal lemmy front end using it, and we could potentially build that together rather than duplicating efforts on different UIs.
I’ve dabbled in leptos before. It seems good and has been gettingba lotb of development. I’ll need to get a better handle on Rust, but that’s about it.
Nice, I’m def excited abt it. I’ve been re-writing some of my smaller web-apps with it, and its been great to work with. I’ve invested years in the jsx / react / inferno model, and have been waiting for something in rust that reaches inferno’s performance, but in rust. I think we’re finally there.
