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’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
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 had been also working on something like this for a couple days. also with sveltekit even!
it’s not public yet as I really don’t have anything too much to show for, but it’s slowly coming together
also it’s still a question whether upstream Lemmy will loosen their cors restrictions to allow for 3rd party web UIs. the more the merrier imo
