Lemoa - A Gtk client for Lemmy
(github.com)
Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate.
So far, it supports most of the basic things that do not require a login, like viewing trending posts, browsing communities, viewing profiles, etc... Login features are planned to become added within the next one or two weeks, so that Lemoa can be used as a replacement for the web UI on a desktop.
Screenshot of an example community page:
Id you want to feel free to already try it at "alpha stage" (installation instructions are in the Readme).
Feedback and any kind of contributions welcome!
PS: I'm sorry if that's the wrong place to post about it, I didn't know where else to.
I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.
EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!
I completely agree. It's the bare minimum to include screenshots if you want people to be interested. If the barrier to see if I even like the look of the app is cloning and building the project then I'll probably just move on to an alternative.
Yes, I totally agree with you! I didn't yet add screenshots to the README since some parts of the app are still matter to be changed in the near future. The development started actually just four days ago, so there's still room for UI improvements. I'll make sure to add screenshots to the README once it's more mature.
