I just managed to get a absolute baseline working app in avaloniaUI using this library that someone cooked up. No idea if the library is actively maintained, but uh, we’ll figure that out when we get to it.
Compared to using the site, possible advantages of a desktop are:
- Being able to save posts offline
- Client side filtering
- performance
- less data usage
- Not having to use your browser
Other things too, I’m sure. Just trying to gauge interest here. Also I barely know avalonia or C# so just don’t expect a polished app out by next monday.
I wouldn’t. I don’t prefer additional apps on my PC because I switch between three computers, so the browser is much easier for me. But that’s just me.
I’m down for that. Sounds awesome.
Web browser works perfectly well, can even install sites as an app on mobile
Just make it with electron and then it can be a website in a browser replacing a website in a browser 😇
Naaah, I still have some shame left.
A browser?
Yes! I tried a couple for Linux and they were shite 😂
To answer the ‘just use the browser’ comments - I don’t like the tiny image box for posts. I’d like a much larger display for image/video-based posts so I can enjoy them at a glance. I’ll only click into them if I especially want to read or post comments
