Hi folks!

I am a new convert coming over from Reddit. I want to build out a Lemmy React Native client. Woo!

I’m very familiar with frontend dev and react (been doing so for a solid chunk of my career), however I am quite new to the Fediverse and not entirely sure how to build federated applications.

I see the lemmy-js-client which will likely help me tremendously, but it’s not terribly documented.

Anyone else out there hacking on a TypeScript/React based Lemmy client and willing to share notes? :)

    Awesome! I’m doing the same thing. Yesterday I got login, loading the first page of posts, markdown rendering, and counts for comments and upvotes working.

    It’s not even to alpha level yet, but once I get something I feel is up to snuff for a first push, the repo is at https://github.com/1hitsong/AOS/

      Are you using the Javascript library or going directly to the /api/v3 calls?

      I’m playing around with SvelteKit client and I almost prefer going with the raw api calls like the smartphone clients are doing.
