  • There are a few things that are a bit harder to do with RN given a bit of easy access to APIs, but you can always make modules to interface with native code. For one, this little image thing I used is just pulled from a library. It’s a bit iffy, and I am writing a replacement for that now. Same with markdown rendering.

    As far as the UI itself, it gets pretty close to what you’d see with a native UI, if not exact. But I certainly do understand why from a dev standpoint you’d like to use SwiftUI, it’s great!

    If there’s anything that you’d like to see in the UI though let me know!






  • Those are some of the main reasons. Also, the fact that it can be easily released as an Android build as well is nice, especially for users who would want a more Apollo-like feel on android devices. I have not personally tested Jeroba, but from screenshots I have seen (while it does look great!) it doesn’t have the same look as some of the old Reddit apps.

    Bottom line is this is a huge preference thing. I don’t want to take anything at all away from Mlem. If you know Swift and think you can contribute to that project then by all means you should! Looks like a great project. Glad that there’s so many people working on things for Lemmy already!
