Hey guys, a week ago I started working on a lemmy app like many others as an excuse to learn flutter. Along the way I found an old app that was abandoned but very well built.
After a couple of days I was able to get things running and semi-useable again. Including posting this post from the app! The main effort being updating to 0.17.x.
Here’s some screenshots:
I’ll be renaming the app (so I can republish it), tentatively under the name “Lem”… but really open to ideas here.
Haha, how ironic. I downloaded the old Lemmur from F-Droid today, having no idea it had been abandoned. When I couldn’t add lemmy.world, I knew something was up.
It’s a good looking app, so good on your resurrecting it!
As for a name… Given it’s a resurrected app, how about Zommur? 😁
Man this would be tits, I’m using jerboa right now but the app has a bunch of UI issues where it just feels kinda clunky, I don’t mind it looking visually dated (this does look better though) but it’s more about functionality to me, I’d be interested in trying a different app.
Honestly, I think Lem is too similar to Mlem and Memmy and whatnot. I’d go with something Fed- or Thread- or Verse-related. Like Threader (could style it differently) or something
I think Lemmynade would be a perfect name.
Sweeeet, lookin’ forward to testing it out
@zach IDK why, but this app gives me some Infinity for Reddit vibes.
Probably is the UI. Those upvote and downvote buttons.Yeah it does look similar. I didn’t design the UI up to this point. I’ve justed updated it to support the lemmy backend starting from 0.17.x
It fairly out of the box material design flutter
- Lemons
- Lemonade
- Emblem
- Problem
- Golem

Hmm… try going through here?

Oh no i figured out the issue. I had GitHub trigger a migration from the fork to a stand alone. Sorry about that. Rerunning the build now and you should be able to get the packages once it finishes through the releases tab on my repo
Thanks you, that’s great :)
Do you mean F-droid repo?
As for suggestion, I noticed that you can’t really add a custom Lemmy instance.
You can, it’s on the settings:
Looking great, can’t wait to test it! Nothing against Jerboa for the time being, but alternatives are always welcome. Been testing summit yesterday that someone posted as well, and I think every app has some unique features about it, so let’s see where the journey goes.
Ideally I’d love to have something as close to Reddit Sync as possible :-P
As for the name, isn’t Lem a bit short? Not that I dislike it, but in terms of being properly searchable on google and the likes it might be better to go for a longer, unique search string, else it could get a bit cluttered.
Should have a testable android APK on the repo tomorrow and I’ll work on getting the iOS app out for people to sideload.
Over all it works pretty well, there’s a few bugs but it’s a solid foundation!
Yeah I suck at names, I’ll keep thinking
Sounds awesome! Do you have a link to the repo so I can follow you there?
Yeah you can track progress here:
https://github.com/zachatrocity/lem
I’ll make a more formal GitHub release hopefully tomorrow!

Holy crap, this reminds me so much of Infinity for Reddit (my favorite reddit client.) If this releases I’d love to try it out!
If you’re game to test while I get the wheels back on we’re making progress!

Note: significant bug with the comments due to API redesign that happened in the last 4 months.
Looks good. Did you get the original author’s permission or was it open source?
Also, as a name… how about “Let Me”?
Open source with gnu gpl v2.
That was the first thing I checked! Hahah
Are you going to put it on GitHub? Obviously you’re not required to release code until you release a build into the wild, but just curious if we can see your progress in real time by any chance lol
Unless you hate the name Lemmur I don’t know if you have to change it yet either.
Yeah you can track my progress here: https://github.com/zachatrocity/lem
I’ll make a formal GitHub and fdroid release hopefully tomorrow.
Well I know I could keep the name and have a separate bundle ID. But the old app is still on the play store. Figured it’d be easier to rename then deal with the duplicate named app on the store.
