Hello everyone, I recently started working on a Gtk client for Lemmy written in Rust, called Lemoa and the awesome Relm4 crate.
So far, it supports most of the basic things that do not require a login, like viewing trending posts, browsing communities, viewing profiles, etc… Login features are planned to become added within the next one or two weeks, so that Lemoa can be used as a replacement for the web UI on a desktop.
Screenshot of an example community page:
Id you want to feel free to already try it at “alpha stage” (installation instructions are in the Readme).
Feedback and any kind of contributions welcome!
PS: I’m sorry if that’s the wrong place to post about it, I didn’t know where else to.
looks awesome! awkward question but other people may run into this problem too:
The apt versions of libgtk-4-dev seem to be too old to build lemoa and I can’t find an obvious flatpak alternative, any tips?
I’m on pop_os 22.04 LTS; cargo install error with apt’s libgtk-4-dev installed: Requested ‘glib-2.0 >= 2.74’ but version of GLib is 2.72.4
There now are instructions how to build it using Docker in the Readme :)
legend, thanks!
