    This is a great idea, Voyager’s mobile experience is super polished.

    Long shot, but would it be possible to get Mlmym installed at old.lemmy.world? Would be a fun throwback!

    Gotta say, it’s weird seeing a iOS interface on an Android device XD, but it feels very smooth and polished, especially for a web app.

          Yeah we know that (almost) everyone who used iOS had Apollo, it’s been kind of obvious with the barrage of comments. However, there’s no Apollo for android and tbh I kinda hate the iOS feel it has, so if someone says that it feels/felt weird, chances are that they are an android user.

            That’s what I’m seeing, honestly to me it looks and behaves great, the only downside is that it is a PWA and it doesn’t feel as fast and polished as stock apps.

              And that’s because you used Apollo. The context of this particular chain is that it felt weird for android users, because it has an iOS feel, and they answered that that’s why it felt weird, so it’s impossible that they used to use Apollo, since they were an android user.

            As a iOS user, same could be said about Android. It looks bad and is unintuitive to use for me. It’s about ecosystems and people getting used to one thing over the other!

    Voyager is, by far, the best lemmy experience I’ve tried. Hiding posts is a godsend. And they did all this as a web app?? Impressive!

      A lot of things that used to require native apps Android/ iOS / Windows / Mac can now be done as a web app which is easy because it means you don’t need to compile the code four times.

        It is not connected to the Lemmy account… I used their URL “vger.app” at first, but then lemmy.world implemented it themselves. When I logged in over that URL, I had to “rehide” the topics.

        Sorry, I don’t know the specifics.

      I’m fairly sure Voyager is a fully client-side app that can use the API from any instance directly no matter where it’s hosted. Someone correct me if I’m wrong

        The devs themselves said they need to proxy information including password through their servers due to how cors works. But people are saying that this may be resolved somehow, so idk.

        It works if you’re logged out. If logged in, all requests must be proxied through your own instance, and post IDs vary per instance.

        In the future, it might not force a redirect and show you content for a logged out/“roaming” state, but not now

      wefwef is an app, a webapp. Usually reachable under wefwef.app
      You can install it as a progressive webapp through your browser.
      This now is rehosting the files of wefwef on the m.lemmy.world domain, basically a fork that promises to keep in sync with the official codebase and the official domain. The m.lemmy.world domain shouldn’t need any connection to lemmy.world, it is basically not much different to a filehoster that hosts an apps apk. That is why I don’t think m.lemmy.world even sees your credentials if you log in anywhere.

      As to why, I’m not sure what the use of this is. Maybe in case the official domain goes offline?

      • AlmightySnoo 🐢🇮🇱🇺🇦
        link
        171 year ago

        That’s because when you use wefwef through wefwef.app, your data goes through wefwef.app before going to the instance, the app AFAIK does not communicate directly with the instances yet. You basically have to decide whether you trust wefwef.app enough to proxy your data through them.

        Using m.lemmy.world would mean your data goes through lemmy.world directly, which you already chose to trust.

          Okay what If I am already using wefwef than my data is already passed through wefwef, so there is no benefit now? or still I should logout with wef wef and use m.lemmy.world?

            Most things passing through are public anyway, as lemmy is allmost entirely public. The only privat info is your password and wefwefs session. Those are visible in clear to the server, so could in theory be logged. If you change your password (and invalidate your sessions) after wefwef switches to direct you should be good.

            Stopping the stream of data is always possible. You can use google daily until you suddenly don’t, the steam of data is (or probably just the proccessing of your queries in this case) stops.

          Oh, you are almost right, I was wrong. Checking the network traffic it seems images (and some parts of posts?) are fetched directly, but other elements are fetched through wefwef.app, namely everything that needs the users session. maybe this is done to process some lemmy outputs serverside into for example the notification icon? This surprised me, I was confident the only requests to wefwef.app would be static elements and the code itself.

              This is about cors headers on the api calls? That only don’t affect other apps because they are offline and ignore cors?

                Native apps don’t have CORS restrictions. They can make http requests anywhere.

                Only web apps in a browser have this limitation.

                  Makes sense, never thought about that. An annoying situation, I wonder how many security issues would crop up if browsers allowed ignoring cors for pwas…

                  Currently apicalls are proxied through the server but end up with the lient all the same, with the session being stored in local storage “credentials”?
                  Will you currate a manual whitelist for direct calls or have the app test if direct fails and fall back to proxied?

          It would surprise me if that was the explanation since this can be easily fixed by Lemmy.world itself by not sending two Accept-Control-Allow-Origin headers, thus breaking web clients.

          Right now, I’m forced to route my own calls to my server on the app I’m making because Lemmy.world is misconfigured.

          I guess that for instance below 0.18.1, it makes sense, since Lemmy had a bug at that point that didn’t allow web clients to connect.

    It’s nice to see this officially hosted for lemmy.world users. I’ve been curious about wefwef but there was no way I was going to enter my creds into a third-party proxy. It feels much better to do so via an instance hosted by the world admins where my Lemmy account is though.

    FYIW, when you save this as a PWA via Firefox mobile, the name is just “voyager”, which I assume makes it hard to distinguish from the voyager instance hosted by its devs. I don’t think this can be changed as a user (unless I’m too dumb to figure it out). If the PWA app name can be changed server side, might be good to call it Voyager World or something.
