Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.

After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.

Here’s some screenshots:

I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.

      I didn’t think to mention this until just now, but you’re probably going to have to do a more significant rework of the app pretty soon to work with Lemmy backend v0.18. You can test it against some public development instances in the short term, but unless the release candidate is held up, you probably have like 1 week before the app at least has issues on most servers (not entirely sure how much of a breaking change it’ll be code-wise).

        Yup, been tracking that in the matrix. Will be curious how long it takes most instances to update once it’s officially released.
