There’s a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there’s a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.

Would love some help if anyone is interested.

Preview so far though much yet still has to be done

    I love SvelteKit. I am a backend dev myself, but this framework made me really get into UI development, just so much easier.

    What do you mean by the cors restrictions? I am hosting the front end on the same domain as my backend (just like the lemmy UI) so there shouldn’t be any issues there.

      I’m thinking of external clients, like what pinafore was for mastodon.

      in my case I’m planning on making a hacky “hybrid” that can be built both as a server and as a completely static SPA, where cors would be an issue.

        I think it should still be possible. Cors is enforced by browsers, not server side. Meaning your client cant make a request to lemmy.worlds backend BUT, your client can make a request to your backend which can make a request to lemmy.worlds backend.

        The site I have this hosted on is actually connected to lemmy.world, not my instance
