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’d love a desktop client. :P No web shenanigans, maybe GTK or something.
I thought about Svelte + Tauri. Desktop but with Web flexibility. It also allows adding other fediverse as plugins.
Now that I’m seeing more third party apps popping up, I wonder if there is appetite for a native desktop app
I’m a developer myself, though haven’t used Svelte (I mainly develop using React), though, pretty interested. Bookmarked!
Check out svelte, its pretty much native JS.
Doesn’t get much simpler than this https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.server.js https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.svelte
My main Lemmy.ml account comment isn’t properly federating over to lemmy.world, so I’m duplicating my reply on my alt-account:
Cool. SvelteKit is ideal for this.
Can you move the server name to an .env variable so I don’t have to run a sed? sharing my sed:
find src/ -type f | xargs sed -i 's/lemmy\.world/enterprise.lemmy.ml/g'FYI, there is a double https:// on page https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/lib/lemmyclient.js
On desktop browser, I’m getting a ‘500 internal error’ on the /r/post/xxx route, but not sure why. The console isn’t showing anything. The page.server.js seems to get the JSON fine from the API, but the .svelte file in that route is failing.
