Hi everybody, I’m a UI/UX designer and I wanna contribute to the community here with my expertise. Here is a quick prototype for a Android Lemmy app with Material You Design, it’s a simple and customizable app. With this app, I also want to improve the experience when exploring different servers.

Obviously, this is just a concept, so if any developer interest, I’m very willing to collaborate with 🫡 . Vice versa, if anyone stucks with designing his/her own Lemmy client, just reach out to me and I will give you a hand.

Here is a quick demo of some basic features: https://vimeo.com/843481714?share=copy

And here is the figma file if you wanna take a look: https://www.figma.com/file/ZBR30l0ZcKuyKMPjeDmvdF/Lemmy-Android-app?type=design&node-id=53526-31054&mode=dev

    Here is iOS dark / compact

    IMHO, the shadows, padding around cards, corner radiuses, drop down stylings, etc. are all pretty rough. It doesn’t feel as refined as Material You or iOS’s design system.

    After driving in Memmy, Mlem, and Wefwef (now Voyager), Liftoff feels kind of janky to me.

    Just my 2¢

      If you go into settings and turn off card shadows and rounded corners it gets a bit better IMO

        Oh god, that’s way better. That stuff should be off by default. That said, I still feel like they need a UI person to contribute, and OP should hit them up.

        As someone who does UI for a living, it feels rough to me. I wish I had the time to help out, but I’ve already got a couple other nasty side projects on my plate.

      Just popping in to mention the UI got a pretty big update recently. You might want to take another look, I think its a lot better now.
