Is this your day job? How do you have time for anything else?
I’m impressed lol
I agree, liking this project a lot so far.
I actually started developing a lemmy client in my spare time a few weeks back (got authentication done, posts browsing/detail and commenting) but dropped it when I saw this project.
There’s also a lot of apps being worked on right now so that helped me decide. Back when I started there were only two and I didn’t really like either of them, I wanted something like Apollo.
I honestly prefer the PWA approach in this particular case and I rather contribute occasionally to this project than keep building and mantaining mine and dealing with the (small) headaches of publishing to each store.
PD: Just pushed a small PR to the main branch adding some appearance settings for compact view, not sure if it’ll ever get merged to the project but it’s there.
Hey, thanks for your PR!
This is absolutely something I want to add, but I apologize if it will take a bit of time to get in. There’s a lot of moving pieces particularly around settings.
Yeah, no prob, I’m running my own instance anyway and I understand this is not really a priority.
Also I’m seeing some linting issues so I’ll fix that first then re submit it.
You are a great lemming. Thank you for your contributions to the compact view!
I’m super impressed with the dev’s progress too, but I had to uninstall when I saw that Voyager was dropping a line item into my chrome browsing history with every post I tapped on.
Nothing sinister about my activity, but it seems like a bit of a privacy faux pas for me, so I uninstalled and moved to Connect instead. Might be back if the history thing goes away, as it’s an excellent app otherwise.
This is an Android thing. It’s just the way PWAs on Android work unfortunately, when PWAs change URLs they get logged to the browser history. I think it’s a poor behavior though, and I think Apple’s approach is better.
Ive heard rumblings of changing this behavior on Android though.
Oh dang, never knew about this…
…this is not great. I suppose I can use a different browser just for the voyager PWA.
Does something like Firefox Focus or any other privacy browser support PWAs?
It works on Brave
Yeah, this is actually really disappointing. Voyager has been probably my favorite app, but this is an issue I don’t know if I can get past.
Firefox on Android supports it nicely, but still puts entries into history

Progressive web apps (pwa) are apps that are basically just a webpages converted into traditional apps. It’s very easy for a developer to support multiple devices this way. The downside on Android at least is that when you access any page on your app it will log it in your web browsers history.

Oh lawd. I just spent an hour blocking every porn community I could find.
I need to clear my browser history it seems
I did that for an hour earlier today as well.
I think you can block instances now on voyager so you can block all of lemmynsfw in one click
At least you can clear for given domain… 😅
Lack of red tape and convoluted legacy code may help lol?
I know what you mean
Ya I dunno how they do what they do, but mad props to the Voyager team for all that they do
The magic of open source. Dozens of people commuting to the same repo.
